Title: Utica 93-12
Post by: Steveo182567 on May 21, 2012, 09:21:12 PM

I picked up a Utica 93-12 Select -0- Lock for $12.00.
Dont know much about it... Anyone have any resources?

Unlike other Utica models this wrench has a patented locking mechanism in the shaft of the adjustment screw. Push the shaft down to unlock the wrench and adjust it to the desired opening, then push the shaft up to lock it in place. Sometimes the adjustment screw needs to be turned a small amount to engage the locking mechanism - this is by design.
Does yours have a lever to lock the action?

No, you can't get that as an addition, you'd have to find one made with it. A little scarce, I believe.
