According to Bob Chilcoat :
A friend in Wales had a wrench similar to this (basically what we call a
"Monkey Wrench" in the US, but you turn the handle to close it up, not a
separate knurled roller. His was made by a company called "King Dick" (I'm
serious).

I believe you. That was the brand of the screw jack which came
with the MGA (and probably other UK cars of the time.)

Enjoy,
DoN.
