A detailed buying guide: how to choose a pipe wrench.
A pipe wrench has toothed jaws that tighten as it turns and grip round pipes, fittings and couplings firmly. This section includes straight wrenches from 8" to 24" long (pipe up to 73 mm) and lever wrenches from 1" to 2". General guide: how to choose hand tools for pipe and plumbing work.
The longer the wrench, the larger the maximum opening and leverage: 8" up to 27 mm, 12" up to 42 mm, 18" up to 60 mm, 24" up to 73 mm.
A straight wrench is universal, while a lever wrench adjusts quickly and suits tight spaces and work near walls.
Hardened teeth should be sharp and correctly oriented. Replaceable jaws extend the life of the wrench.
A cast steel wrench is strong but heavy, while one with an aluminium handle is lighter. Read hand tool materials, hardness, coatings and ergonomics.
