Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Bahco 141 Universal Pipe Wrench, 11-Inch: Top-rated versatile plumbing tool for all pipe types by Matthew Allen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm getting buried with my Bahco 142

I've just bought this pipe wrench and it's a fantastic tool. Every American should consider switching to this style of pipe wrench for most needs as it offers a better grip than our classic shape. I see cases where this classic would be preferable, but in most cases using this tool with instant setup is preferable. There is some confusion as to where this tool is made. Bahco is a Swedish company owned by Snap-On and is the group's main brand in Europe. Bahco makes a snap-on version of this key in Argentina. The Bahco I bought from Revain - this instrument as I received it - was made in Spain. snap-on's PWZ series is this wrench but with an ergonomic handle - under the Bahco brand it is sold as number 14. Snap-on sells this grip and its name at a 50% premium on its website. Personally, I can't afford that price. If you can make a deal with a dealer, do it. But if you're willing to overpay for a guarantee, I wouldn't bother you - you or your workpiece will break in front of this tool.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
