How to use

Select the appropriate jaw opening for the pipe or fitting, position the wrench so the jaws fully engage the workpiece, and apply steady force to the handle in the required direction.

Recommendations

Use this adjustable pipe wrench with properly sized fittings and avoid using the tool as a hammer or pry-bar.
