Description: |
The patent describes a screw-adjust nut wrench with a swinging handle and intermediate linkage to allow the movable jaw to back away and approach for "ratchet" action. The handle includes a storage compartment for a spring-clip pipe jaw attachment.
Ken Cope's "American Wrench Makers 1830-1930" claims Jessup produced the wrench based on descriptions in contemporary trade journals. |
