The second jaw includes a laterally extending platform () and a rib () extending from the platform to be located within the slot with the jaws in a closed position. The second jaw has a concave clamp surface () defined in the platform () and the rib () that is engageable with the spherical end as the second jaw moves to the closed position to guide the jaws and the spherical end into proper alignment.
