One Hand Wrenches are a Reed invention and feature a strong, forged steel, one-piece handle. Jaws grip any shape: meter nuts, round pipe or parts of fittings, without adjustment. One Hand Wrenches work like a pipe wrench and provide better grip than pliers due to the spring-loaded jaws. Securely and immediately tighten and loosen without removing wrench from pipe. Saves time loosening nut due to ratchet action jaws, unlike a pipe wrench which cannot ratchet on a hex or octagon fitting.
