Title: Identify this wrench
Post by: RJAAAAAA on November 15, 2013, 09:44:38 AM: Hello, new to the site and I'm glad I stumbled on to it because I've been a tool guy for years. I just can't seem to pass them up !!! I picked up this wrench a while back and cleaned it up. I've never come across one of these. It could be just a multiheaded speed wrench but I thought it might be a lug wrench?? It has four different size sockets and you simply push the head up and turn it to the next size. It's well made by the Fulton Co. and it's called a SUPPER WRENCH, it has a pat. date of 1922 on it. What do you guys think.
Thanks
Rjaaaaaa

Thanks for the info, it does say copper head on the handle I just couldn't make out the c or the o. it was pitted, I thought they were an s and a u ?? Hey 130 this could be yours, make an offer. Thanks guys, I'll keep looking.

I do not make offers on tools but if you ever decide you would like to see it go to a good home for a fair price let me know. Thanks
