Pipe wrench
First Claim
1. A pipe wrench, comprising:
- a main body for providing a handle;
a fixed jaw coupled to the main body, the fixed jaw being formed by at least two arcing jaw faces that are congruent and extend away from the main body;
an angled jaw pivotably coupled to the main body for interacting with the fixed jaw for clamping, the angled jaw having at least two substantially straight jaw faces which face the at least two arcing jaw faces at an angle to each other for providing a three-point grip in conjunction with the fixed jaw during clamping; and
a pivot disposed on the main body adjacent to the fixed jaw for pivotably coupling the angled jaw to the main body wherein the angle is obtuse and the radius of the arcing jaw face arc proximal to the pivot is smaller than the arcing jaw face arc distal to the pivot.

Abstract
A Pipe Wrench with: reasonable coordination on distance between-Center of Arcuate Teeth and Link-Hole, eccentric length of Tips of Arcuate Teeth and Link-Hole; Instant Grip and Release, Time-Saving, Power-Saving, easy Operation is disclosed. It is composed of Heading-Hook, Main Body, Arcuate Jaw-Block, Spring-Guard Plate, Spring, Oil-Rope, Pin and Screw Bolt. The Jaw-Block designed by two (2) different sizes of Arc is inlaid in Slot B on Handle, due to designed size of Link-Hole being eccentric from center of Arcs of Jaw-Block is well coordinated with Arcs on Tip Teeth of Jaw-Block, which enables this Invention with Reliable and Firm Self-Lock on workpiece as well as its Open-Width being enlarged.
