How Well Do You Know These Plumbing Tools?
8. What is the correct tool for tightening a large, round pipe fitting?
Correct Incorrect A strap wrench uses a flexible strap to grip and turn large, smooth-surfaced pipe fittings. A crescent wrench has jaws that may slip on round surfaces, a socket wrench is for bolts and nuts, and an Allen wrench is for hexagonal screws, none of which are effective for large pipe fittings.
