Vintage Fuller 196-8 Drop Forged Slip Joint Pliers 8 Inch Japan

The Fuller story started in the late 1930's when Bernie Fuller began a small wholesale and manufacturing company out of Whitestone New York. The product line was very limited in its early years, producing screwdrivers, nut drivers, and wood chisels. The Canadian operation commenced in 1944, by two brothers, Stanley and Lloyd Davis, with a production facility near Montreal. To this day, the Davis family still owns the company, and is active in its daily operation. In the early 1990's the head office of Fuller moved to Montreal. Today, Fuller continues its tradition as a world class manufacturer, focusing on their core categories such as hand tools, sockets, hammers, hacksaws and blades, knives, and power tool accessories.
