Pipe wrench AWTools AW31365, model AW31365, weight 240 g

AWTools AW31365 pipe wrench is a compact, lightweight hand tool weighing 240 g, designed for gripping and turning pipes, fittings and other small components. Made of forged and hardened CrV steel with a black oxide finish, the wrench combines corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Induction-hardened teeth ensure secure bite on workpieces, while non-slip coated handles and a push-button jaw adjustment deliver controlled torque and quick size changes for light-duty plumbing and repair tasks.

Advantages

The forged CrV steel construction and black oxide finish provide durability and basic corrosion protection without adding excessive weight. Induction-hardened teeth increase grip reliability on metal and irregular surfaces, reducing slippage during use. Non-slip handle coating improves user control and comfort during repetitive tasks. The push-button adjustment mechanism enables fast, precise jaw positioning for varied pipe diameters and connectors.

Suitable for

• Light plumbing repairs and small-diameter pipe work
• Installation and adjustment of fittings and connectors
• Gripping nuts, bolts and irregularly shaped workpieces in confined spaces
• General construction and maintenance tasks requiring compact tools

Key specifications

• Weight: 240 g
• Material: forged and hardened chrome-vanadium (CrV) steel
• Finish: black oxide
• Teeth: induction hardened for improved grip
• Handles: non-slip coated for enhanced control
• Adjustment: push-button jaw adjustment for quick sizing
• Primary uses: gripping and turning pipes, fittings, nuts and irregular workpieces

How to use

Select the jaw opening by pressing the push-button adjustment and sliding the movable jaw until it matches the pipe or fitting diameter. Position the wrench so the induction-hardened teeth engage the workpiece, then apply steady rotational force while maintaining a firm grip on the non-slip handles. For best control, orient the wrench to transfer torque in the intended direction of rotation and avoid sudden impacts or excessive force beyond the tool's light-duty design.

Usage recommendations

Use the AWTools AW31365 for light-duty plumbing and maintenance tasks. Inspect teeth and handles regularly for wear and keep the black oxide finish clean and dry to limit corrosion. Do not use the wrench as a hammer or on oversized heavy-duty pipes; select a larger, heavy-duty pipe wrench for high-torque applications.
