Examine the jaws in the picture above. The jaws are exactly similar to jaws in wooden clamps, except for (1) the metal nut attached to the outside, to engage the through spindle, and (2) the metal nut attached to the inside (not visible), to engage the stopped spindle.
The handles seem to be of similar shape, with a ferrule at the attachment ot the threaded metal rod.
