A heavy duty 18in pipe wrench built for gripping and turning larger pipes, fittings and other round section parts. The long handle, adjustable jaw and cast iron construction make it a practical choice when extra leverage is needed on stubborn plumbing or site jobs.

Used for plumbing work, general maintenance, construction tasks and repair work involving larger pipework, this style of stilsons spanner suits trade use as well as demanding workshop and garage jobs. When loosening seized fittings or tightening threaded pipe connections, the longer body gives more turning force than smaller pipe wrenches. It is especially useful where a firm grip on round material is needed, although the overall size makes it better suited to open working areas than tight spaces.

The 18in length is equivalent to 460mm, giving a good balance between reach and control for heavier duty work. An adjustable jaw allows the wrench to be set for different pipe sizes, with typical capacity up to 4in or 100mm depending on the application. The body is made from cast iron, while the gripping teeth are hardened steel for a secure hold on the workpiece. Because a larger wrench carries more weight than smaller versions, it is best suited to jobs where the added leverage is genuinely useful. Keeping the teeth clean and the adjustment mechanism free-moving helps maintain grip and makes the tool more dependable for repeated workshop or site use.
