I reckon it was a rivet on a tatty single saddle.

Well, it's as good as most of my answers, ie rubbish. :rofl:

I think the quiz master let us off light last week. I had a sneaky feeling he may have used an adjuster from a girder fork front brake rod. On which it would be more difficult to ID, by not seeing clearly the knurled head with cup for the cable ferrule.

Hi

I'm curious with regard to the cam, operated adjustable wrench that was the subject of the quiz a couple of weeks ago, can anyone direct me to a picture of the whole item?

Regards Mick

I've got one some where, the head will also move 90 degree's. But what I have was intended for use off plumbers. It can be used like an ordinary spanner, but with the head at 90 degree's. Very handy for getting at bath & sink taps in a tight space, as the handle part then hangs down along side the water pipe. These fittings usually undo easy being brass. They do not rust. They are better than the solid plumbers spanners that can be used the same way, as the cam type adjusts to the nut size to, grip when used.

Just had a look, I think this is different to the tool Quizmaster used. Notice also the square socket end, which also has a hole drilled in the end, for stop cocks etc.

Be careful what you ask for Mick. The myriad design of adjustable spanners intrigues me. This one is the first one I have seen which is cam rather than thread operated. It is still pretty good for use too.

And here is a gear operated one with a tyre lever in the handle.

Keep up at the back there Expat. That was the quiz question from a few weeks ago! The answer is already on the website.
