Interesting placement, good lighting and focus. The sharp contrast of the white on black lettering on the book in the background vies for attention when the rusty tools should be the focus.
Wow this is awsome photo, looks good from what I see, resizing this would get this a great score! 640x480, 640 being long size, if you need help just ask...... Or post in the threads.

You should use a tablecloth or blank piece of paper as a background. The words distract. If they were supposed to mean something to us, you should make sure the important onces are showing.
This composition does not work for me. I certainly like the needlenose pliers lying on the spanner, and the readable print of the book or magazine cover is also appealing. That leaves the plastic screwdriver handles, but they seem important to the shot as well. The lighting, focus, and picture processing are all excellent.
So, you get a 7 with my apologies for not knowing why I did not give you more.
Background is a great idea, but I can't make out enough words, so solid might have been better. Everything else is pretty well done. Nice offscreen expectation on the rusty screwdrivers. -8
