| Description: |  | The cutter can be rotated to successively use four cutting tips before wearing out or needing to be sharpened. The cutter is held in the adjustable base by a pin, and can be set "below" the jaw face.  Turning the end of the handle advances the jaw / cutter holder.  The patent includes a supplemental jaw insert to set a flat face insert in the hook jaw, converting the tool to a nut wrench. |  |
