Cannot find it in their catalogues? Or is it a part of something else perhaps? Any thoughts please? Cheers, Martin

3988 forum posts 1799 photos	Hi Martin, the shape of the jaws suggests either squares or rounds, but squares would be limited to many applications, although it probably could be used for some jobs, but pipe / tube was my first instinctive thought and that's what I looked for in my B&H catalogue. Regards Nick.

My father was a good friend of the Colliers who owned Monument tools and did electrical and building work for them, I've been in the factory a few times when they were based in Balham
