Where can I get a small belt for a sliding crescent wrench

If it's a teeny rubber belt, try calling around to some electronics shops. Any that stock VCR parts will likely have a selection of little belts or know where to get 'em. But that's only a guess since I don't know what a "sliding crescent wrench" is. Could you post a link to a webpage that shows one?

Here's a link to the real deal:

The local Ace carries them for about $14. If the chink one is a clone, might be repair parts can be had from Cooper. Might also cost more than getting a real one would.

I don't recognize what he wants either B.B. A quick Internet search found this though:

"Includes 8" and 10" quick release adjustable wrenches Carbon steel - Double-shot handles Rack-and-pinion gear mechanism for easy opening of wrench jaws. Nickel finish for hardness and rust resistance. Laser-etched scale in imperial and metric measurements Comfort grip handle"

I haven't seen them around here, looks like something HF would carry though :)

I wasn't familiar with that style either, but I suspect that the "rack" is actually a miniature toothed timing belt. Sliding the adjuster moves the belt rotating a threaded adjuster similar to the ones in traditional adjustable wrenches.

Am I right?

According to :

Hmm ... I've got one which works sort of like that. I got it ages ago from Brookstone. That one does not have a belt to couple the slide to the worm. Instead, it has a bronze rod with a fast spiral milled in it (visible in the slot). so as you move the thumbpiece, the rod turns and it is bevel geared to the worm. I've never had it fail -- but it does not grip very well unless you keep your thumb on the slider. It really wants to drift as you try to work with it. Still -- it is nice for a quick fit to many different sizes.

Good Luck, DoN.
