Pipe wrench recommendations?

[V8Druid]

Prefer crescent wrench adjustable grips myself. I inherited a couple of sets of facom stilsons that seem decent

never even handled a Crescent type but can see their advantages

got loads of stil-ies from 48" down to IIRC 6"

Was meaning on the adjustables like these…

narrower jaws, grip tighter the harder you lever on them, British design (t'other design is IIRC American) but won't take the same level of abuse as the other designView attachment 78086

Which one is in the picture, and can you show me the other as a comparison please? (I’d just call those stilsons tbh!).

I got a cracker of a 3' shifter at local auction with very little description for £40
Would probably cost over £400 for new and wouldn't be as good

Just found these out, 36” and pretty heavy. 48” must be beasts!

There's a 48 inch Ega in the Bristol auction too

I ordered myself a 36” bacho Stilsons off prime tools recently, not had the pleasure of using it yet.
