I'm installing 1-1/2 in steel pipe with my boiler and will be buying some new pipe wrenches. I like to have good quality tools that stand the test of time to work with. Could anyone recommend a quality brand of pipe wrenches? And what pipe wrench sizes would be appropriate for 1-1/2", 1" and 3/4" steel pipe? Is the Rigid brand sold at Lowes a good make for them? A building maintenance person at work recommended them. Lowes does sell a lot of second rate stuff so I'm suspicious of anything they carry. I would especially appreciate advice from any of you pros who use plumbing tools in your line of work. What brands do you buy and like to use? And do you prefer steel or aluminum handles? Thanks.
