        Description: |  
| The wrench is a swinging hook-jaw self-adjusting pipe wrench with a spring-loaded button in the base of the swinging jaw to push the jaw toward a closed position. The specifications note the shape of the hook jaw and curved face of the fixed jaw would maximize the range of sizes the wrench would accomodate. |
