Mechanism in a Wrench

[r1kkie]

Hi!
New here so hopefully I posted in the correct section.

Im trying to make adjustable wrench, the problem I have is to attach the screw and the clamp(?) so when you rotate the screw the clamp is moved back and forth.
I have connected the screw with a pin and the clamp as a slider. But how do I connect them to work together?

Excuse my English, not sure what words to use, hope you understand my problem.

Thank you!

I found a way to make it work but there has to be another way to do it.

I had to make a separate rotation axis to gear from. First gear is just a generic gear and the second gear up to the slider is a Rack & Pinion.

If I cant find another way to get rid of the extra axis im just going to hid it inside the wrench...
