You made me look, and I found it on eBay. Nice. I knew they made wrench ends for the Manoskop, but didn't know they made that!
You've demonstrated that many times,,,

What is it? Hard to tell in the pic. Torque wrench attached? Slide out handle extension? Tell us please ! BCD.

Milwaukee makes a pipe wrench with an attachable pipe handle instead of a cheater bar. I think it $100 and has a wide jaw opening.
I'd rather have this..
Here, on sale for $79

I'm sure the level of awesome, be it high or low, is directly related to level of the chance you would use it....
Personally, I despise pipe wrench's for all but those circumstances where it is the only tool to possibly do the job. I hate working on equipment that has every wrench hex is chewed / torn to **** by some hack with a pipe wrench.....

Like... pipes?
A few months ago I had reason to look up pipe fitting torque. It's quite a subject but the simple answer is that appropriate torque is more a function of the 'quality' of the increase in torque rather than the absolute torque. Still, there are guidelines and this tool is the way to gauge yourself against them.Like... pipes?
For the overly decerning **** retentive building inspector. Talk about bringing a whole new meaning to continuos inspection, I just can't imagine. Ya know I've built just about every kind of industrial construction there is short of a nuclear plant and I've never seen one of those. I'm actually interested in knowing what requirements prompted the need now.
It's for pipe...

So, is it a Torque Pipe Wrench? If so that is amazin'. Didn't know they made such an animal.
So what kind of wrench do you use on pipe? I would love a set of proper fitting wrenches that fit black iron

I honestly dont ever use a pipe wrench on pipe, probably because theres no threads and or nuts to spin?
I dont like pipe wrenches for above stated reasons, chewing up nuts.
but in all honesty
i have
never even thought about using a pipe wrench for a pipe. It does make sense,
i just have never considered or needed to spin a pipe.

Pipe gets threaded into coupler. Rusts/corrodes. You'll be reaching for a pipe wrench. Pipe wrenches are for pipe not nuts. Not liking a pipe wrench due to chewed up nuts is like not liking screwdrivers because they don't pound nails worth a ****.

Sort of reminds me of the sewing machines used to make sails. What is it used to sew?

That one dates between 1949 and 1952, and was the first non-commercial free-arm machine. Just a homeowner straight stitch made in Switzerland.
