• Adjust the jaw until it grips the pipe securely without excessive force on the screw.

• Position the wrench so that pulling on the handle causes the jaws to bite more firmly into the pipe.

• After use, back off the adjustment screw, wipe the tool clean and store it in a dry place to help protect the jaws and mechanism.

Dickie Dyer 909397 Aluminium Stillson Pipe Wrench 460mm – Key FAQs

• What is the main advantage of an aluminium Stillson wrench?
  The aluminium body keeps the tool much lighter than traditional cast iron versions, reducing fatigue and making it easier to use overhead or in awkward positions.

• Is this pipe wrench suitable for professional plumbers?
  Yes, it is designed for trade use, offering a strong grip, durable jaws and reliable performance on everyday plumbing and heating jobs.

• What size pipes can this 18 inch wrench handle?
  It is suitable for a wide range of common domestic and light commercial pipe diameters typically worked with an 18 inch Stillson, from smaller sizes up to larger threaded pipe.

• Can I use this on plastic pipe?
  It’s primarily intended for metal pipe. If used on plastic, care is needed as the serrated jaws can mark or crush softer materials—usually a specialist plastic pipe tool is better.

• How should I maintain the jaws and adjustment mechanism?
  Keep the jaws clean, avoid using the wrench as a hammer, occasionally apply a light oil to the screw and moving parts, and store the tool dry to minimise corrosion.

• Is this pipe wrench suitable for use in tight spaces?
  The 460mm length offers good leverage while still being manageable in many confined areas; for very tight spots, a shorter wrench or grips may be required.
