Topic tags/keywords: chisel rugol italy germany vintage popular mechanics question

Has anyone ever heard of the Rugol Tool Company? If so, I would be interested in some information on the quality of the tools. I won a lot of 5 chisels on ebay described as Rugol chisels from Germany. However, after a google search, the name is also linked to Italy and the US. I don’t know if these where made in the US and shipped to Italy and Germany, or visa versa.

Anyway, I only paid $15 plus shipping, but hoping that this is a good find. I am a little concerned now that I can only find mention of the company as an ad in the 1954 Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Thanks for any information you may have, or just looking.

Hard to know much about them without laying hands on em and putting an edge to them. Easy to see which one was someones favorite by the mushrooming on the butt. Hey for 15$ you wont get hurt. JB

Usualy there’s something stamped or etched on the blades They look fairly old and that could mean good steel. I couldn’t find much either.. -- Glen, Vernon B.C. Canada

It’s geared toward chisels and German, or at least European. I found another German maker through it. Since it’s in German you may have to use the Goodle translator or something like it. Follow the embedded links to other references. That’s how I found my info. A rather tedious process but it may have something.
