I have two of these 36" Ridgid pipe wrenches:

One is steel and another is aluminum.

I want to keep one and sell another. My question is which one is
better. Aluminum one is a lot lighter, but is it as strong? Or does it
matter?

I am not a plumber, but once in a while I need to turn something that
does not want to turn, like a stuck engine etc. This is my use.

You already know the answer to this, you just don't know you
know..............

Look at both of them. Which one looks the best?

Keep that one.

If it is Ridgid, that is like keeping a Starrett tool. It's a no brainer.

And keep in mind in the future for that ONE time when you will actually need
two 36" wrenches, and it will pay for all the time it has sat in the
corner........... For a lot of years, I had a 36" Crescent wrench I got
from my Dad. It got lots of comments regarding overkill, but when you
needed it, nothing else would do.

Unless you are a plumber reefing on pipes all day, even the cheap Chinese
stuff will work. But if you can get a deal on a quality tool, that's good,
too.

Just a thought from my humble experiences.
