Description: |
| Turning the end of the handle adjusts the movable jaw. A couple of lugs on the end piece of the handle engage a groove in the fixed portion of the handle. The exterior of the handle is knurled, and a hole allows for insertion of a pin for a lever handle. A wrench constructed in this fashion and in the proportions shown in the drawing would be apt to bend in the shank. |
