Craftsman 10 in. Pipe Wrench, Steel —
When doing some household plumbing jobs, like working on the water heater, I find myself using this and an arc joint pliers constantly. This is a traditional 10" pipe wrench, with a cast iron handle and steel jaws.
For some reason, the picture shows it as a dark gray, almost blackish gunmetal color. Mine is red, and all of these that I've seen are red. I'm not sure why there's a color discrepancy, but don't be surprised if the wrench is red when you find/receive it.
Be sure to keep the wrench protected with WD-40 after use, because rust is the enemy of your tools, and keeping them clean and free of rust will extend their useful life. Of course, if you ever have a problem, the forever warranty certainly comes in handy.
For those of you seeking a good, sturdy, traditional pipe wrench for around the house, this one fits the bill.
NOTE: For professionals, I recommend aluminum handled models like the Rothenbergers. They're lighter, which is good for people using these tools all the time (and having to carry them around).
