How to use

Select the jaw opening by adjusting the movable jaw until the wrench fits securely around the pipe or fitting. Position the wrench so the force is applied in the intended turning direction, ensuring full tooth engagement with the workpiece before applying torque. Use controlled, steady force to avoid slipping; for stubborn joints, reposition the wrench and re-seat the jaws rather than increasing sudden impact. After use, clean and inspect the teeth and hinge area to maintain reliable performance.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when applying high torque. Avoid using the wrench as a hammer or prying tool. Regularly check the jaw teeth and adjustment mechanism for wear and remove any debris to maintain safe operation.
