Pipe Wrenches
Pipe wrenches grip pipes and fittings securely. Choose a length and jaw opening that match the pipes you work on. An angle pipe wrench fits into tight spots. When ordering, check the max jaw capacity and the span range. That way you always have the right tool.

Which length and jaw opening do you need?
Pipe wrenches come in lengths from 250 mm to 600 mm. The length determines the reach and the force you can apply. Choose a short wrench for tight spaces, such as under the bonnet. A long wrench gives more leverage but is harder to handle in a confined area. Also check the maximum pipe diameter the jaws can grip. Jaws that open too wide will slip and damage the pipe.
What goes wrong when ordering?
The jaw opening is often confused with the pipe diameter. Always check the specifications. A 250 mm wrench, for example, grips pipes from 6 to 25 mm. A 600 mm wrench handles pipes up to 64 mm. Measure the outside diameter of the pipe before you order. That way you avoid buying a wrench that does not fit.
When should you choose an offset pipe wrench?
An offset pipe wrench has an angled head. This lets you reach pipes that sit close to a surface. The Swedish form grips the pipe at three points. That gives a firm hold without deforming the pipe. Use this wrench when you work in a corner, for example on brake lines or fuel lines.
Pipe wrenches belong with pliers and often work alongside a water pump pliers for holding pipes or a locking pliers when you need to clamp something. For pinching off a hose while you work, reach for a hose clip pliers, and for cutting through a pipe a cutting pliers is within reach.
