Description: |
The adjustment nut and threaded shank of the movable jaw are enclosed in a rectangular sleeve, and both jaws have replaceable gripping surfaces. The extended sleeve also acts as a secondary handle to release the grip when the wrench is used on pipe.
Ken Cope's "American Wrench Makers 1830-1930" notes a SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN mention of the patent that implies Kasch intended to produce the wrench.
