Description: |
| The patent has a number of features. The handle, main bar, and lugs that hold the latch bolt can be formed of one piece of metal. The spring-loaded latch bolt that generates the ratchet action can be flipped to reverse the ratchet. The adjustable jaw head is designed with the right-and-left thread adjusting screw adjacent to the jaw opening to maximize its holding power. |
