| Description: |  | The "inner" jaw is formed on a hollow handle that has a tail portion with rack teeth; the "outer" jaw is formed on a shank that slides inside the hollow handle, and has rack teeth to engage the others. The shank has a screwdriver on the end, and a stop pin to keep the two portions from separating.
The specifications note this design was intended as a bicycle wrench. |  |
