Pipe wrench AWTools AW31381, length 420 mm, weight 1.3 kg

The AWTools AW31381 pipe wrench, 420 mm in length and weighing 1.3 kg, is a hand tool designed for gripping and turning pipes, fittings and other round objects. Forged from chromium-vanadium (CrV) steel with a powder-coated finish, it combines durability with corrosion resistance. The S-shaped ground and polished jaws, together with induction-hardened teeth and a three-point jaw design, provide reliable hold on flat, semicircular and round surfaces. An adjustable worm gear allows quick jaw size changes, while the ergonomic handle supports comfortable handling during plumbing, installation and repair tasks.

Advantages

The forged CrV steel construction and powder coating increase strength and resistance to wear and corrosion. Induction-hardened teeth maintain a secure grip over extended use, and the S-shaped ground and polished jaws reduce slippage and damage to workpieces. The three-point jaw design improves contact and stability on varying profiles, and the worm gear adjustment enables precise sizing for different pipe diameters. The ergonomic handle balances control and leverage for on-site and workshop tasks.

Suitable for

• Plumbing installations and pipe fitting
• Maintenance and repair of water, gas and heating systems
• Securing and turning round or semicircular components
• On-site mechanical work requiring moderate leverage

How to use

Select the appropriate jaw opening by turning the worm gear until the jaws match the pipe or fitting diameter. Position the wrench so the three-point jaw contact aligns with the workpiece surface and apply steady force to turn or hold the pipe. Use controlled, even pressure to avoid damaging softer materials. For safe operation, ensure the tool is clean and the teeth are free of debris before use; if slippage occurs, re-adjust the jaws for a tighter fit.

Usage recommendations

Use the pipe wrench for metal and plastic pipes within the jaw capacity, avoid excessive force that may deform fittings, and store the tool dry to preserve the powder-coated finish and hardened teeth. Periodically inspect and clean the jaws and worm gear; apply light lubrication to the adjustment mechanism to maintain smooth operation.
