Bra komplement till vanlig rörtång om man känner att man kan behöva två. Denna är ju billigare och mindre än motsvarande gripvidd på annan rörtång. Kan kännas lite glappig ibland.

Lo he empleado para sacar una tubería de 1 y 1/2, el piso es de1964, la rosca estaba con minio y esparto para hacer más palanca he empleado un tubo metiendo el mango en el tubo, el tubo media cerca de un metro y la herramienta ha aguantado sin partirse.

The timeless design of the Stillson wrench is exemplified by this excellent tool from Bahco. Shame about the two 3* reviewers commenting that this is 'not the quality expected from Bahco'; I have a suspicion that they don't fully appreciate the rather industrial nature of the Stillson wrench and it's true purpose. Compared to most Stillson wrenches I've seen out there, all commonly made from drop-forged steel, the Bahco is first class and every bit the quality you'd expect from Bahco. This is a hard working bit of kit, not a fancy, pretty, shiny tool for looking at. For those who don't know they're designed for turning soft iron pipes, the teeth being angled in the direction of the turn so that forward pressure brings the jaws tighter together, increasing purchase. Strictly speaking they are not intended for use on hardened steel or hex nuts; they are likely to shred them. That said they do have a range of useful purposes such as, carefully applied, holding a compression joint stable in an awkward situation while tightening the hex nut with an adjustable. Equally, they can be used to loosen rounded-off nuts due to their main design purpose, as described above. Uniquely and unlike adjustable spanners, normal shape open jaw spanners or even adjustable slip joint/water pump pliers, the Stillson wrench's jaws are set perpendicular to the handle, a useful feature in awkward spaces.This purchase replaces a very old, worn but still quite useful wrench (I read that Daniel Stillson received his patent in 1869; my battered one could easily be that old) because, well, I simply fancied treating myself to a new one. I'm not at all disappointed, on the contrary I can see my eldest inheriting this one and, all being well, his offspring after that. Don't listen to the 3* boo-hooers, this is a sturdy, well finished tool at a great price that will be a thing of pride in your tool box. 5 stars from me.P.S. I don't work for Bahco.

Buen producto a precio ajustado. La medida es la idónea para el uso que le doy
