I wanted a couple of braces for myself and for my grandsons. I also thought about selling them so I bought a few.
The Great Neck are really bad in just about any way a tool can be bad. They are flimsy, poorly designed, poorly made. The action is rough and there is a pin that pokes you in your hand when you try and adjust it.
The Fuller are better than the Great Neck but they are still not very good.
Far and away the best braces were Stanley and Keen Kutter from a private seller on Sawmill Creek or from eBay. Even the worst of these units were better than the best of the brand-new units. In addition every tool I bought from the private seller or from eBay was at least as good as described and most were better.
