They feature a quick-spring nut for rapid and precise fine adjustments that will hold any measurement. Adjustment mechanism is central located to assure smooth action. Fulcrum and adjustment mechanism are brass. “Yankee” style flat-leg construction makes unit very durable. They have a substantially hardened spring for years of service. Maximum opening is 8.5 inches or 215 mm.
