This chuck is cylindrical in shape with slight enlarging towards the jaw end. It is 7.2 cm long and 11.0cm in circumference at its widest point. It has six bands of lines etched around the circumference. The bands vary in width from 0.2cm to 0.6cm. They increase in width from the jaws towards the ratchet. The jaws extend 1.5cm from the chuck and are split. The ratchet is located next to the chuck. It sits at at a right angle to the chuck. It enables a rotary motion to be maintained while the handle is moved back and forth instead of in a complete circle. The ratchet brace can therefore be operated in a corner.
