Corner Wrenches for those hard to access pipes.

Want to go straight to the store for CornerWrenches?

For 30 years I was a contractor unaware of the existence of these. When my trusty pipe wrench couldn't quite fit in I'd usually switch to my channellocks or vice grips. Unfortunately shopping at your local irrigation supply house and Home Depot rarely exposes one to tools such as these. MCC USA Inc invented these and trade marked the name as CornerWrench. Having used these a few times I suspect I'd be more likely to pull these out in place of my pipe wrench under most circumstances. Working in ditches and not having to approach the pipe from the ditch side but rather from the top would have avoided many of my knuckle scars. Check out the images and youtube video and convince yourself you'd benefit from a CornerWrench as well.
The wrench has a ratcheting mechanism with a spring loaded jaw making it easy to reset the wrench for the next turn.

The jaws are made of a high carbon steel and the biting teeth will last a long time before rounding like those cheap Chinese pipe wrenches seem to do with the first big challenge they have. Plus unlike Ridgid the gear assembly is fully contained so being more compact creates more working space.

Finally aluminum versions are available so getting less weight in larger sizes is super convenient. We aren't getting any younger and any weight we can avoid is just being smart.

Well here's that you tube video I mentioned. Then come to the store and check out your options.
