What is it called? - tablesawtom - 03-22-2023

I would like to order some but I can't think of the name. It is an age thing. Where is the best place to order from?

Thank you all. I tried adjustable nut and lever and nothing. I would have never thought of adjustable handle. Anyway I fount exactly what I wanted on amazon. I tried their free prime for a month and I still have a couple of days left. That makes it the place to go.

Thanks again,

Tom

On this side of the pond they are known as Bristol levers (no idea why, but maybe some connection with our city of that name) or indexable levers.  Some people hate them but I find them useful particularly where the space to turn them is restricted
