Questions about this tool
Which finish is this listing?
The HP code is the brass model. The stainless variant uses the separate HP-ST code.
How do I tell it from the rotary version?
The ring and jaws move together. Look for a separate swiveling grip if you need rotation.
What job makes this style a good fit?
A direct wrap around the hook where the ring has enough room to travel.
