Description: |
| The patent features a ratcheting head, with insertable size-adjusting "thimbles," and an insertable adjustable open end wrench. This adjustable wrench has an auxiliary toothed face so it can be used both as a nut or pipe wrench. There is a storage socket in the end of the handle to hold the adjustable wrench when the ratchet is in use for other functions.
A known example matches the patent drawing fairly closely. It is marked with the patent date. It includes a screw-adjustable bearing with tapered socket for use as a ratchet drill holder. |
