Description: |
| Quick-adjust nut wrench with a sliding jaw having rack teeth on the inner edge of the shank. The jaw slides through an opening in the shank. The back lip of this opening has a single tooth-like spur, and the opening allows the sliding jaw to rock back. A leaf spring holds the movable jaw against the spur. This construction allows the jaw to "ratchet" on square nuts. |
