Chain wrenches are essential tools in plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical industries, designed to grip and turn pipes, fittings, and other cylindrical objects. The wrench features a chain that wraps around the object, providing a strong grip that allows for the application of torque. Ideal for heavy-duty tasks, it is especially useful for pipes that are too large or difficult to grip with traditional wrenches. Made from durable steel, the chain wrench is built to withstand high torque without bending or breaking. They are commonly used in industries where pipes and other round objects need to be tightened or loosened in confined spaces. Chain wrenches meet important industry standards such as ISO 1711 and SASO 2550 to ensure safe and reliable performance.
