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
- Quick adjust jaw action
- C shaped head grips round pipe
- Mechanical, no power needed
- Single wrench in the pack
- 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.
