What tools did fullers use in their work?

Frequently Asked Question about the extinct profession: Fuller

Fullers, who processed woolen cloth, primarily used tools like the fuller’s bat, a wooden paddle for beating the cloth, and the fulling mill, which used water power to agitate the fabric. They also employed a variety of brushes and scrapers to remove dirt and grease, and sometimes used chemicals like urine for cleaning and softening the wool.
