The compound leverage pipe wrench. These pipe wrenches are available in at least four sizes with pipe capacities of 2" through 8". This type of pipe wrench lets one man do the work of two men. The turning force of the wrench is multiplied by compound leverage. The short handle makes it easy to get at frozen joints even in tight quarters.
