Adjustable Pipe Wrench AWTools AW31402 300 mm - Stillson Type

Adjustable pipe wrench AWTools AW31402 300 mm is a Stillson-type hand tool designed for gripping and turning pipes, fittings and round stock. The tool features an adjustable jaw opening to accommodate a range of diameters, serrated jaws to improve bite on metal surfaces, and a long handle that increases leverage for loosening and tightening threaded pipe connections. Its dimensions and construction make it suitable for plumbing, maintenance and general workshop tasks involving cylindrical parts and pipework.

Advantages

The adjustable jaw provides quick adaptation to different pipe sizes without the need for multiple wrenches. Serrated jaw faces enhance grip on smooth or oily surfaces, reducing slippage during use. The long handle improves mechanical advantage for applying torque while the Stillson-style head design maintains consistent engagement with round objects. The tool is compact enough for use in confined spaces yet long enough to deliver effective leverage on stubborn fittings.

Suitable for

• Installing and removing threaded pipes and fittings
• Plumbing repairs and maintenance tasks
• Workshop tasks involving round stock and cylindrical components
• Working in confined spaces where adjustable gripping is needed

Key specifications

• Overall length: 300 mm
• Tool type: Stillson-style adjustable pipe wrench
• Jaw type: Serrated gripping jaws
• Adjustability: Variable jaw opening for multiple diameters
• Handle: Long handle for increased leverage

How to use

Select an appropriate position on the pipe and open the wrench jaws by turning the adjustment nut to match the pipe diameter. Place the jaws around the pipe so the serrated faces contact the surface, ensuring the movable jaw is oriented to bite when torque is applied in the intended direction. Apply steady force to the handle, taking care to avoid sudden jerks that can damage fittings. After completing the operation, back off the adjustment nut and store the wrench in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, wear appropriate hand protection and inspect the jaw faces periodically for wear. Avoid using the wrench on fasteners or shapes for which it is not intended, and do not apply excessive impact force. Use the tool within its mechanical limits and maintain it by cleaning and lightly lubricating the adjustment mechanism.
