THE FIRST VIVA QUESTION

What is its use?

How to recognise it.

  1. Long slender bowel-clamp jaws.
  2. Relatively flexible working blades.
  3. Ring handles, ratchet and fine serrations.

Point to each part on your specimen as you say its name.

  1. Rings
  2. Ratchet
  3. Box joint
  4. Flexible jaws
