With
its spring loaded parallel (hold anything) jaws, ball bearing chuck shell, and
fully enclosed ratchet, this number was Stanley’s best brace for many years.
This one, with its black composition handles, dates from the 1970s, and has all
of its original shiny nickel on frame and chuck shell. The top handle has most
of its original label. It is in the tough to find 8 inch sweep. Fine.
