It's a wicked, scary looking thing -- I can hardly wait to try it out on something.
It can be dismantled.
There's a 3/4" A/F, left-hand-threaded nut that holds it together. (Shank diameter is 1/4".)
The maker, Intl. Hardware, Inc. of Bridgewater, N.J., appears to be no longer with us, which is a shame.
I'll stash this in the drawer where I keep small wire wheels and the like.
