Description: |
An adjusting worm moves a slide, effectively changing the size of a square box end wrench. The offset in the handle allows for a small slot for the movable jaw, without weakening the handle.
According to Ken Cope's "American Wrench Makers, 1830-1930" this wrench was produced by Wild. |
