Hi Ted et al.

Does this tool come apart? I'd be curious to see what's going on inside. How does it work? Do you pull the knob to slide the arms into the body? Does the taper in the body bring the arms together? Is the knob adjustable i.e. threaded like a nut to tighten and lock the arms in position? How are the arms and knob connected to one-another?

Overly-curious minds want to know :-)
