Pipe wrench AWTools AW31220, model AW31220, compact 240 g hand pipe wrench

AWTools AW31220 compact pipe wrench is a handheld tool weighing 240 g, designed for gripping and turning pipes, fittings and other round objects. Forged from CrV steel and chrome plated, this small wrench combines corrosion resistance and structural strength in a size suited for tight spaces and mobile tooling kits. Serrated curved jaws and a built-in wire cutter expand its practical use beyond simple pipe turning.

Advantages

The AWTools AW31220 offers a lightweight construction that reduces hand fatigue during extended use while maintaining durability due to CrV steel forging and chrome plating.

A built-in wire cutter increases functionality for light maintenance tasks.

How to use

Select the AWTools AW31220 and position the curved jaws around the pipe or fitting to be turned. Adjust the jaw opening using the adjusting screw until the serrated jaws engage the workpiece firmly, and engage the locking system if a steady hold is required. Apply turning force to the handle while maintaining alignment with the pipe axis to avoid slipping. Use the release spring to disengage the lock and open the jaws when the operation is complete. The built-in wire cutter can be used for light cutting tasks as needed, keeping fingers clear of the cutting edge.

Usage recommendations

Use the wrench within its mechanical limits and avoid applying excessive torque or using it as a hammer. Inspect the jaws and cutting edge regularly for wear or damage and replace the tool if deformation or chipped serrations occur. Keep the chrome-plated surface clean and lightly oiled to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation of the adjusting screw and locking mechanism.
