Interesting variation. Did you get one Craig?
@someidiot 's comment about function is interesting too. If the lock presses in on the worm gear it "could" clamp. Otherwise it would do the opposite.

i was hoping someone would have first hand knowledge- but i figured it was worth the $30 to see myself. Just ordered - to arrive today.
Edit - Amazon arriving Nov 5
In the link in my post above - the wording implies it clamps. Near the bottom of that link there is a short video that shows that it does indead clamp. The reviewer said: “like an adjustable and visegrip combined”
Yep! (see pic below from the link provided) - it is both left handed & metric on one side and right handed and imperial when you flip it over. Amazing!!!

If used to just lock that damn worm from easily turning I can see advantages, but actually locking the jaws onto a nut...not so much

no problems... just challenges
Today's finds...
From left to right we have ...
1. An 18" Walworth "Genuine Stillson"
2. Another 18", but this is a Cochran Model 1910 (check out the pivot mech atop the adjuster barrel
3. A 14" E.T.F. Ltd piece. Under ETF it has St. Catherine stamped
4. At 9" long, all I can see on this shifting spanner is an encircled letter E, and evidence that this guy spent more time in the hand as a hammer then as a wrench...
5. Another 9". A Frost & Wood. This one's got a step on the fixed side of the jaws. No hammer use that I can see. But...cast clearly on one side of the grip is Made In Canada.
The FIL must've hit a lot of yard and estate sales here methinks

Ya, I am a plus sized guy...... what's yer point? 😛
It's not the size of the dinghy, it's how well you man the oars...? 🙄
