Description: |
The position of the adjustable jaw is controlled by incompressible fluid, based on the same principle as a hydraulic jack. The key element is two chambers in the cylindrical handle, with a valve between the chambers.
An internal compression spring will close the jaws if the release valve between the chambers is operated; the jaws would have be be opened manually with the release valve opened.
The movable jaw is equipped with a pipe gripping surface that can be swung into position. |
