Abso-unit of a pipe wrench my boos picked up for one of our customers

May 1, 2026 4:32 PM

I knew they made pipe wrenches that big but I’ve never been in the same room with one

Seems like something like that would apply far too much torque, but it does look like it'd be fun to swing around.

We have a union on our large gas lines that needs a huge wrench like that. I like to come on stage just before a show and make a performance of checking the flame effects. We do leak and safety checks well before the show, but it is a fun prominade

I need to replace my bathroom tap. Will this one be big enough? lol.

Everyone needs an "I wasn't asking wrench" sometimes. I keep a 3' piece of galvanized pipe on hand for these occasions.

When you need it to turn, and you're no longer asking politely.

That's one of those aluminum ones from harbor freight. They are weird to hold because they look lilt they should weigh a lot more than they actually do

Good thing Death caught up with him. He needed to be stopped.

Maybe I've just been unlucky, but I've never had a nut/bolt/etc that was removed with a longer wrench. By the time I've torqued down on my 16 inch bar the bolt is either loose or broken...

I was gonna say “for when you absolutely have to shear the head off”

This is a pipe fitting wrench. Even with this big bastard you're going to have a hard time shearing a 4 inch threaded steel pipe.

Ridgid also makes 48 and 60 inch models for larger pipes.
