Pipe wrench AWTools AW31371, compact hand pipe wrench, weight 380 g

AWTools AW31371 is a compact hand pipe wrench designed for gripping and turning pipes, fittings and irregularly shaped workpieces. Weighing 380 g, it is intended for light-duty plumbing tasks, quick adjustments and on-site repairs where a lightweight, easy-to-handle tool is preferred. The wrench is made of forged CrV steel with hardened, polished teeth and a rounded head to reduce damage to work surfaces, and its handles are finished with a non-slip coating for secure grip.

Advantages

The tool combines a durable forged and hardened CrV steel construction with a compact, low-weight design that enhances portability. Hardened teeth and a polished, rounded head provide reliable grip while minimising marking on fittings. A push-button jaw spacing adjustment enables quick and precise setting for different diameters, and the non-slip handle coating improves control during use.

Suitable for

• Light plumbing tasks such as tightening and loosening threaded pipes and fittings
• On-site repairs and quick adjustments where a compact tool is required
• General construction and maintenance work involving nuts, bolts and irregular shapes

Key specifications

• Material: forged chrome-vanadium (CrV) steel, hardened and blackened finish
• Weight: approximately 380 g
• Head: polished, rounded design with hardened teeth
• Handles: coated with non-slip material for improved grip
• Adjustment: push-button mechanism for precise jaw spacing
• Application: suited for pipes, nuts, bolts and irregularly shaped workpieces

How to use

Select the appropriate jaw opening using the push-button adjustment, position the wrench on the pipe or fitting so the hardened teeth engage the workpiece, and apply steady turning force while maintaining a secure grip on the non-slip handles. For best control, place the wrench so the load is transmitted through the tool's stronger sections and avoid using excessive force beyond light to medium-duty applications. After use, clean any debris from the teeth and apply light corrosion protection if the tool will be stored for extended periods.

Usage recommendations

Use the AWTools AW31371 for tasks suited to a compact pipe wrench: light plumbing, quick adjustments and maintenance work. Do not use the tool as a hammer or leverage it with extensions; avoid sustained heavy-duty torque beyond the tool's intended light to medium range. Store in a dry place and keep the teeth clean to maintain grip and service life.
