One notable feature of the Stillson pipe wrench is its construction material. It is typically made of special high-grade tool steel, which is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear. This ensures that the wrench can withstand the significant forces and pressures applied during pipe-related tasks.

The wrench consists of a lower stationary jaw and a movable upper jaw. The upper jaw can be adjusted by turning a threaded knob or handle located near the head of the wrench. This allows the wrench to accommodate pipes of different diameters by creating a secure grip on the pipe.

The jaws of the Stillson wrench have sharp, angled teeth that provide a strong bite on the pipe’s surface. When the wrench is applied to a pipe, the teeth dig into the material, allowing for a firm grip and preventing slippage while turning. The design of the teeth enables the wrench to provide a secure grip even on smooth or slippery surfaces.

Stillson wrenches are commonly available in various sizes to accommodate different pipe diameters. The length of the handle can vary, with longer handles providing increased leverage for turning larger pipes. The wrenches are often marked with their maximum pipe capacity, indicating the largest pipe diameter they can effectively grip.

They are known for their special high-grade tool steel construction, adjustable jaws, and sharp teeth that provide a secure grip on pipes. These wrenches are versatile tools that are invaluable in plumbing, construction, and other industries where pipe work is involved.
