A pipe wrench is a type of hand tool designed for gripping and turning cylindrical objects, primarily pipes. It features serrated jaws that provide a strong grip on the surface of the pipe, allowing for effective tightening or loosening. Typically made from durable materials such as carbon steel or cast iron, pipe wrenches are built to withstand high torque and heavy use in various industrial applications.
