What auto makers provided wrenches that were marked with the car makers name? We've all seen the Ford wrenches, but what else is out there? I have seen Ford, Fiat, BMW, Mercedes, Austin, and Toyota.

Lada's came with a very complete tool kit including a points gapper but they were only stamped made in USSR. I guess it was my first metric tools. They are not handy but this is the wheel wrench from the kit. Very good quality, much better than the car

Maxwell. (The car that Jack Benny owned)
(* photos ebay *)

It looks like almost all of the contemporary vehicle makers have been covered in this thread, with the exception of Chevrolet. (I've seen at least one on ebay, but unfortunately didn't snag a photo image.)

I recently found this screwdriver marked TOYOTA. I knew it was made in Japan, based on another one I'd found, but the TOYOTA mark was a pleasant surprise.

I also found this Phillips screwdriver which is very similar. I'm sure it was made in Japan, but I don't see any markings. I wonder if Toyota included one of these in their tool kits.

EDIT, it didn't take much Googling to answer that question. Here's a 72-74 Landcruiser tool roll.

SAAB. At least in the mid sixties. My father bought a new SAAB 96 around 1963, 2 stroke oil burner.
Had some tools in a wrapper. A two ended open spanner marked 1/2" at one end and 7/16" at the other end.
However the 1/2" end marking was 7/16" and opposite also at the other end.
Sorry , no picture
