Our verdict

A mechanical quick adjust pipe wrench with a C shaped head for gripping round pipe and fittings. The jaw opening figures in the listing are inconsistent, so confirm the capacity for your pipe size.

Overview

Irwin builds the head so that it slides along the handle to open or close the jaws, which saves turning a screw. The C shaped head bites into round stock, and the finish is brushed.

Quick adjustment suits plumbing jobs with a mix of pipe sizes, because jaws reset in seconds. The limitation is a listing with unclear capacity numbers, so check before relying on it for large pipe.

Who it's for

Plumbers, handymen and homeowners tightening threaded pipe and fittings. A crew working near flammable gas should look at a tool with a non-sparking rating, since this one is listed as not non-sparking.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Quick adjust jaw action
  • C shaped head grips round pipe
  • Mechanical, no power needed
  • Single wrench in the pack
Cons
  • Jaw capacity figures unclear
  • Not for hex nuts
  • Weight is substantial

Performance notes

The jaw grips by pressing teeth into the pipe as the handle is pulled, so a pipe wrench marks the surface it turns. The quick adjust head slides to size and locks under load. Rust, dirt or worn teeth reduce grip and allow slipping.
