Description: |
A spring in the handle pulls the movable jaw closed. The adjustment is held by a cam / locking lever pressing the toothed shank of the movable jaw against a serrated portion in the handle. There is enough "flex" in the connection to allow the jaws to spread apart on "reverse" motion of the handle, and thereby grip & release a workpiece in a form of ratchet action. |
