What Is a Pipe Wrench?

A pipe wrench is a specialized adjustable hand tool designed specifically to grip and rotate cylindrical objects such as metal pipes and threaded fittings. Unlike standard spanners, it uses serrated jaws that bite into the pipe surface to prevent slipping under high torque.

Key Components

• Fixed hook jaw for stability
• Adjustable movable jaw for size flexibility
• Knurled adjustment nut for precise control
• Long handle for leverage and torque

This design allows users to apply strong rotational force without losing grip, making it indispensable in plumbing and industrial applications.
