Old Wrench -Very Cool

It's a SpeedNut - paid $1.00 . It closes on it's own , when you crank the handle .

Wow that seems ingenious. I wonder why it did not catch on?

It does seem like a good idea. I'd have given a dollar as well, I like it.

The 8" one sells for 51 bucks on eBay. Id say good deal!
