Pipe wrench AWTools AW31369, compact hand pipe wrench, 400 g weight

AWTools AW31369 is a compact hand pipe wrench weighing 400 g, designed to grip and turn pipes, fittings and irregularly shaped workpieces in confined spaces. The tool is made of forged and hardened CrV steel with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance. Induction hardened teeth and a sliding slip-joint on the lower jaw provide secure engagement and quick adjustment across seven pre-set positions. Non-slip coated handles improve control during installation, repair and light maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The combination of forged CrV steel construction and induction hardened teeth ensures durability and reliable grip on pipes and fittings. The black oxide finish reduces surface corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance. A sliding slip-joint with seven pre-set positions allows rapid resizing without tools, and the non-slip handle coating enhances handling and safety in wet or oily conditions. The compact, lightweight design reduces user fatigue and enables work in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Gripping and turning pipes and fittings in plumbing installations
• Maintenance and repair of household and commercial pipework
• Work in confined or hard-to-reach areas where a compact wrench is required
• Holding irregularly shaped workpieces, nuts and bolts during assembly

Key specifications

How to use

Select the jaw position by sliding the lower jaw into one of the seven pre-set positions to match the pipe or fitting size. Place the wrench on the workpiece so the teeth engage securely, then apply steady force to the handle in the required direction to turn or hold the item. For best results, ensure the teeth are clean and undamaged before use and maintain a firm grip on the non-slip handles. After use, wipe the tool clean and store in a dry place to preserve the black oxide finish.

Usage recommendations

Use the AWTools AW31369 for light plumbing and maintenance tasks where a compact, easy-to-adjust pipe wrench is needed. Avoid using excessive force beyond the tool’s intended light-duty application and do not use the wrench as a hammer or pry bar. Regularly inspect the induction hardened teeth and handle coating for wear; replace the tool if significant damage is found to maintain safe operation.
