Pipe wrench Facom 125A.120 model 125A.120 for pipe grip, jaw capacity 80–120 mm

Facom 125A.120 pipe wrench is a professional hand tool designed for gripping and turning pipes and fittings with a jaw capacity range of 80–120 mm. The tool is intended for medium to large diameter pipework and combines hardened serrated jaws with a leverage-optimized handle to provide reliable mechanical grip during plumbing, maintenance and installation work.

Advantages

The Facom 125A.120 offers hardened serrated jaws that resist wear and provide a firm hold on round and profiled pipes. Its adjustable jaw capacity from 80 to 120 mm covers a wide range of common pipe sizes, reducing the need to switch tools. The design emphasizes mechanical advantage and balance for controlled torque application and safer handling in tight or vertical spaces.

Suitable for

• Plumbing installation and repair of medium and large-diameter pipes
• Mechanical maintenance where pipe and fitting manipulation is required
• HVAC and industrial piping tasks with metal or heavy-duty plastic pipes
• On-site service work where an adjustable pipe gripper is needed

When it may not be suitable

This pipe wrench is not intended for very small-diameter pipes below its 80 mm minimum jaw capacity, nor for delicate fittings where serrated jaws could damage surfaces. For precision work on soft materials or for applications requiring non-marking grip, a different tool or protective jaw covers should be used.

Key specifications

• Jaw capacity: 80–120 mm
• Jaw type: hardened serrated jaws for enhanced grip
• Intended use: manual gripping and turning of pipes and fittings
• Typical applications: plumbing, maintenance, installation, HVAC

How to use

Select the appropriate jaw opening within the 80–120 mm range and position the serrated jaws around the pipe. Apply steady pressure to maintain full contact between jaws and pipe surface, then apply turning force through the handle. Adjust grip as needed for different pipe diameters. When working on plated or finished surfaces, consider using protective covers or alternative gripping methods to avoid surface damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Required pipe diameter range — ensure the 80–120 mm jaw capacity matches your pipes
• Material and hardness of pipes — serrated jaws are best for metal and hard plastics, less suitable for soft or finished surfaces
• Work environment — ensure tool size and leverage fit the available workspace
• Need for marking protection — plan for jaw covers if working on finished surfaces

Usage recommendations

For consistent performance, inspect jaws for wear before use and keep gripping surfaces clean. Use controlled, steady force rather than sudden impacts. When working on finished or thin-walled pipes, fit protective sleeves over the jaws or use a strap wrench alternative to prevent surface damage.
