    I picked up this Wilton yesterday , the jaws are 4 1/2'' wide and I think it's an HD model because it's longer and it opens further than a standard 4 1/2'' but I've never seen or had one that doesn't have a model number or any numbers on it at all , also it just says Wilton USA on both sides and...
