3.0 out of 5 stars Good Wrench, April 27, 2005

This wrench is good for finish work, but it's a little springy and can be a knucklebuster when it comes to wrenching tough pipe - it can get it done though. This won't replace your standard 10 inch pipe wrench, but not bad to have in your toolbox.

This review is from: Irwin 274001DS Vise Grip 2-1/4-Inch Jaw Capacity 11-Inch Quick Adjusting Pipe Wrench (Tools & Home Improvement)

I used this wrench to twist out concrete form pipes, and the bottom jaw broke in two. Like many other companies, it seems IRWIN quality is becoming questionable. The material used for this tool is very low quality. It might work fine for light-duty use, but since when is wrenching pipes a light-duty task? Very disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very frustrating user experience, January 4, 2009

I received one of these as a gift and must say that using it has been a very frustrating experience. Unlike a standard pipe wrench, you cannot set the jaw distance and expect it to stay. For some reason the jaws always slip off the pipe. If you are working on something that has an irregular surface (like a big bolt) it is fine, but if the material is smooth (like a pipe) forget it - the jaws will not grab the material. I spent so much time screwing around with this that I finally threw it away out of frustration.
