Expert By Facom Stilson Wrenches at Tooled-Up.com

Expert By Facom Stilson Wrenches are pipe wrenches built for gripping and turning round pipe, tube and fittings. The self-tightening jaw bites harder as you apply force, which helps with seized or corroded pipework. The Expert by Facom Stillson Pipe Wrench has a cast-iron body and a forged steel jaw. High frequency treatment of the jaws gives strong resistance to wear and a firm grip on the tube. The 200mm (8") model weighs just 0.4kg and handles pipe up to 35mm (1"), so it is compact enough to keep in a toolbag.

For tighter spots, the Expert by Facom Swedish Type Pipe Wrench has 90-degree tilted jaws for confined spaces and awkward angles where a standard pipe wrench struggles. It is made from chrome vanadium steel with a painted and varnished finish. Tooled-Up.com stocks both styles, so you can choose between a traditional Stillson pattern and an angled-jaw design.
