Identify this wrench
« 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

Looks like a lug wrench to me.

Before someone painted it, it was copper plated..

I have one very similar.   Mine has steel grips, are those rubber?  Copper plated?  As in a wash?

If the "attach" works you can contemplate an early 1922 "new product" announcement for the COPPERHEAD RIM-BOLT WRENCH.  This one gives a different maker name than I'd seen before, so it also led to  a revision in the DATAMP entry.

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

The Fulton Co and Cataract are both Milwaukee companies.
