        Description: |  
| A "T" handle turns a gear which moves clamping jaws that slide in a frame. The effective range between the jaws is 4 inches to one inch. Because of the gearing, turning force can only be applied to remove screw tops. 
Marketed as the EDLUND TOP-OFF.  Examples known with "Patent Pend." as well as with the patent number. |
