Fuller wrench
« on: February 16, 2014, 11:31:40 PM »
My father bought me a set of these Fuller wrenches when I was in HS.   A small set, from 3/8-3/4, but most seem to have walked off in the past few decades.  These are some of the first  good quality Japanese tools, and never broke one.  Am sure I have the 3/8 and the 5/8, does anyone have any of these chrome Fuller.?

That adjustable came with the Fuller rack?   That has to be a rare find.    I have seen at least one adjustable fuller, but not lately.   Guess I'll go digging at the local pawnshop bins, again.   Thanks for posting.

I had (and just sold) a set of later Fullers:





They were made by the Kyoto Tool Company...

They're common as dirt here in Canada. They must have been sold everywhere in the 1970s & 1980s!

Actually I bought them separately , but on the same day from separate vendors.
I had them posted for sale , but not much interest. Makes a neat display.
Glad to get a chance to share it.

I've seen some lately but passed.  I'll go back and see what I csn dig up.  What's a good price on those?  I think usually this shop charges me .50 to .90 depending on how many wrenches I am pulling out of his bins.

Pricing, 2 or 3 maybe, five if it is perfect, but a dollar sounds a lot better.

I have a DOE in 15/16 x 1" in the depresed panel type-maybe they made several more sizes??

Looking for USA made ratchets-all sizes-drives and lengths  also S-K SuperKrome wrenches ditto.  Like to trade vs buy run it past me-nothing is cut in stone!

I just saw another depressed panel double open end on the bay.   I'd sure like to collect the combination open box set, but after getting caught up in the collectoritis on the New Britain set, have to draw the line on the double open enders.   It does look nice, and this style  came new in the box in 1966.   Thanks anyway

Still on the look out for these depressed panel Fuller  combination wrenches.   .   Now have a 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, would like to finish the set to 3/4, Thanks.
