What the fuck, I just did the exact same thing last week. Anyway I've used it once now and it worked great despite being more to understand and get used to than a normal pipe wrench

Ehh, well if you use it on copper and PVC, maybe it will be useful. Hard to tell if the tool is any good when you get a shit example of said tool. Like good Knipx slip joint or water pump pliers are way more useful than soft ass Pittsburgh channellocks with grips that slide off under normal use.
I used it to put a plug in a tee that had a line that wasn't being used. did swap the tee because no coupling or union and I wanted to be able to just throw another line in when summer hits. Big fan of the applied leverage that keeps it snug, less of a fan of adjusting it but I'm sure it is a skill issue.
wait that's a swedish wrench? i thought swedish wrench just meant adjustable wrench
Swedish pipe wrench. In the states we call adjustables crescent wrenches.
Patented by Johan Petter Johansson in the late 19th century just like the classic adjustable wrench with the worm wheel.
There was earlier adjustable wrenches but his designs stuck.
you don't put pressure on the threads anyway, if you do, youre also using it wrong as it is made to be strong in the clockwise direction of torque, but isn't as grippy and strong anti-clockwise (relative to OP's pic related)

I usually prefer Irwin pliers over knipex, although I keep a pair of knipex minis in my pocket usually for closet bolt nuts or supply lines.

Good job OP. Let the Bepis flow through you.

That handle doesn't look very comfortable, with the threads on it an all.
you dont handle it at the threads, retard

You ask me then?
>"Is there a use to this thing"?
Before you pass out. Lumpy head.
I got the quick adjust one and it's nice not having a 20# pipe wrench when you're 40' up in the rafters running gas line
