Hey Tim,
If you guys are going to repost 5 year old stuff you need to check the links and delink the dead ones. This item isn’t on the site anymore.

Thanks for the thorough and passionate response. I’ve never learned so much about wrenches in my life. I edited the article with the correct and accurate information. As for the steel bar, the guy originally was going to use a pry bar but decided against it for design reasons.

The actual ‘Monkey’ wrench has no serrated teeth and the adjustment arm stays perpendicular to the handle with no ‘toggle’ action as this ‘pipe’ wrench has. The pipe wrench has the ‘toggle’ so that it can give the teeth a ‘bite’ into the pipe since it is cylindrical. The ‘Monkey’ wrench is also in many sizes as the ‘pipe’ wrench, to handle tightening and loosening the hex sided nuts on pipe ‘fittings’ like a 3 piece Universal Joint to join two pipes together that are properly threaded and of proper size. “MONKEY WRENCH” for ‘FITTINGS’, “PIPE WRENCH” for ‘PIPE’. Of course, if you must be contrary, you can use a pipe wrench to tighten fittings, but you won’t have as good of a ‘bite’ on the piece being tightened or loosened – sort of like using a METRIC end-wrench on an SAE bolt head or nut. But don’t call a ‘pipe wrench’ a ‘monkey wrench’, that’s just blasphemy to plumbers. Ok, BTW, the ‘steel pipe’ you show is NOT, it IS a ‘Crow Bar’, or what some now call a ‘nail (or better known as a pry) bar’. Thanks.
