RIDGID 31000 6-inch Heavy-Duty Straight Pipe Wrench, 6-inch Plumbing Wrench,Red

I wish I bought one of these sooner. Been an avid DIY wreckager kind of handyman around the house and at friends / family places for like seven years now, but I never had one of these. I'd always rely on hand strength or a trusty pair of pliers to do any kind of heavy lifting and twisting. Don't do that. Seriously. Just buy a pipe wrench. It's so good! I was amazed. I had to fix someones office chair and replace the hydraulic barrel thing, I've done this work before and let me tell you, it's an incredible task to remove the barrel from the wheels and chair seat. Hammering and twisting and huffing and puffing, it sucks! I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Then I used the pipe wrench on it. I guess the clue is in the name, but still - it popped it straight out with no trouble, it's a fantastic force multiplier for this kind of thing. Was dubious at first, but the little ridged teeth did the trick right quick and gripped it so tight, hardly any force was needed on my part at all! Simply incredible. I can tell this thing is built to last. There are much cheaper alternatives on the market, but I've always been a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I think you could drop a bomb on this and it wouldn't even scratch the paint. It looks very well machined and high quality, even if it came off a production line it doesn't feel mass produced at all. In all honesty I'm probably going to be using it for the rest of my life. The 18 inch one is perfect for everything, I'm willing to say, but it's very heavy. You've seen video game characters swing it about like it weighs about as much as a torch, I'm guessing! Well forget that, this thing would break your arm if you swung it like that, for sure! Be aware of that, and maybe buy a smaller one or the light-weight aluminium one, if it's a concern for you. Don't be dumb like me. If you own a toolbox or a toolkit and you do odd jobs around the house, you need one of these. There's absolutely no question about it.

I forgot to change the size when buying the wrench, and a 6 inch one turned up. The quality is great but I'll need to buy another to try it out properly.

The grip and sturdiness will blow your mind out

Fantastic quality of tool, honestly the best stillstons money can buy. Used and abused daily in the oil and gas industry on heavy duty equipment and never wavered once.

Pleased to have bought this well-made wrench manufactured in the USA.

The best stilsons money can buy, excellent quality and useability. With a life time guarantee it's a no brainer

Does the job well other brands don’t do as well

Always comes on handy for them small jobs, excellent Ridgid quality as always it will last a lifetime.

This wrench is the best you can get. Don't go out and buy a rinky dink wrench and expect it to last. Rigid lasts everytime.

Heavy duty, in that its moving jaw is not wobbly at all, and there is a lot of metal so there is enough handle to grip. Used it to grip stainless steel cylinder, managed to chafe the cylinder without damaging this wrench's teeth. It was able to grip a 2 inch diameter but I guess I operated it out-of-spec. Nearly canceled my order, glad it didn't get canceled. Quality, brand-name, without an import price tag thanks to Amazon.

I collect small versions of tools and wanted a small pipe wrench. Got a small pipe wrench. My expectations were neither exceeded or unmet.
