SW18A48 Reed Tool Strap Wrench - Adjustable Pipe Wrench for 1-12 Inch Pipes (2255) - Ideal for Plumbing, HVAC & DIY Home Repairs

This is an outstanding wrench. I was less familiar with Reed than Ridgid as I'm not from the plumbing and fire protection trades. But I went with this b/c I liked the solid metal head (Ridgid uses a pin to hold strap, this uses a very snug and heavy duty metal insert). Also liked the ergonomics and grip. Plus the option for changing the strap configuration for both thick / heavy and thin wall / lighter tubes and pipes is convenient. You can tighten some galvanized steel, reconfigure, and go tighten the sleeve behind your bath knob in your shower, all with this guy!You probably can't go wrong either way, but make no mistake: this is a GREAT wrench.Everyone who lives in a house or dealer with any round object that they don't want to damage with the teeth of a Channellock or a pipe wrench should add one of these. You can even use them to change the oil filter on your car. Granted this one's a tad long, but you can probably slip it in there for the final turn. I actually bought so I didn't have to scratch the steering adjustment rods and other round pipe like rods on cars and trucks.Finally, you'll be impressed with how much torque and leverage these wrenches put out. It's physics, yes, but still frankly quite amazing.
