Hate those sort of wrenches. What's wrong with a Stillson type?


Agreed, but having a smaller jaw thickness they can be used in
places
were the deeper Stillson type wrench will not fit.

I use waterpump pliers for this.


Water pump pliers don't always grip, I found that 'Footprint' wrenches
will grip like a Stillson does. I will add this though, what I was
using them for was a certain job many years ago, I would normally use
either water pump pliers or a Stillson wrench - all I'm saying is that
they do have their uses.
