Why use pipe wrench? The question should be: Where are pipe wrench practical than nut, ratchet or foot / wrench? I bought my set in order to change the tap in the kitchen and the toilet lid in the bathroom can. Meanwhile, I've discovered a thousand other ways, is where else fingered with nut or combination wrench around. Even on the PC. Great set in high-quality wrapping pouch. Everything you need. From tiny to powerful, with lever rod.
