Reed Heavy Duty 45° Offset Cast Iron Pipe Wrenches | High-Tensile Ductile Iron Handle, Steel Parts, Leverage & Durability, Ideal for Tight Spaces

Buy the REED Heavy Duty 45° Offset Pipe Wrench

The REED Heavy Duty 45° Offset Pipe Wrench is engineered for professional plumbers working in tight spaces. With a 45° angled head and high-tensile ductile iron handle, it provides superior leverage and access where straight wrenches fail, ensuring a secure grip on stubborn pipes in confined areas without slippage.

REED Heavy Duty 45° Offset Pipe Wrench Key Features & Benefits:

• 45° Offset Jaw Design: The angled head provides superior access and a longer swing in tight spaces, allowing you to work efficiently in corners, near walls, or in cramped mechanical rooms where straight wrenches cannot fit.
• High-Tensile Ductile Iron Handle: This handle delivers exceptional strength and shock resistance, making it more durable than traditional cast iron while remaining lightweight to reduce arm fatigue during long jobs.
• Hardened Alloy Steel Jaws: The heat-treated hook and heel jaws feature sharp, induction-hardened teeth designed to bite securely into the pipe, maximizing torque transfer without premature wear.
• Solid Steel Heel Jaw Pin: Unlike competitors that use cast pins, REED utilizes a machined solid steel pin to secure the heel jaw. This ensures greater strength, prevents jaw wobble, and guarantees long-term reliability under heavy torque.
• Built for Professional Demands: Designed as a workhorse tool for daily use in demanding environments, all parts, including the hook jaw, heel jaw, spring, and nut, are fully replaceable to extend the tool's service life.

Why Choose REED 45° Offset Pipe Wrench?

Choose this wrench when you need unmatched reliability in tight quarters. Its offset design, combined with a solid steel heel pin and induction-hardened teeth, ensures you have the strength and access required to complete the toughest jobs efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

How the REED Heavy Duty 45° Offset Pipe Wrench Works

The 45° offset head positions the jaws at an angle relative to the handle. This allows the wrench to slide onto a pipe that is flush against a wall or nestled in a corner. The user can then swing the handle parallel to the obstruction, generating torque without their knuckles or the handle hitting the wall.

What is the main advantage of a 45° offset pipe wrench over a straight one?

The primary advantage is access. The 45° angled head allows you to reach and turn pipes in confined spaces, like near a wall, in a trench, or next to other pipes where a straight wrench doesn't have enough room to get a grip or swing.

Is the ductile iron handle really stronger than cast iron?

Yes. High-tensile ductile iron is significantly stronger and more resistant to shock and impact than standard cast iron. This means the handle is less likely to crack or break under extreme torque or if accidentally dropped.

Are the parts on this wrench replaceable?

Yes. REED designs its tools for long service life. The hook jaw, heel jaw, and pin, coil and flat spring, and nut are all available as replacement parts. REED parts are also interchangeable with most major heavy-duty U.S. brands.

Will the teeth on the jaw wear out quickly?

No. The teeth are induction-hardened, a process that makes them extremely hard and resistant to wear. This ensures they maintain a sharp, secure bite for a long time, even with heavy professional use.
