Description: |
The wrench has a two-part screw adjustment. The smaller screw works similarly to a "typical" adjusting screw, except that its range of motion is less than the overall adjustment range of the wrench. The larger nut has interrupted threads so that when the gap in its threads align with the main bar of the wrench the movable jaw is free to slide. |
