Parmelee 71016 P4 Slip Pins for No. 4 Extra Heavy Gauge Pipe Wrench

What is the Parmelee 71016?

The Parmelee 71016 (P4) covers the slip pins for the No. 4 extra heavy gauge Parmelee pipe wrench. The slip pin, made from a durable grade of steel, attaches the girth to the handle, and each pin comes with a miniature O-ring that holds it in place. Because the pin is removable, the handle can be fitted with a different size girth.

How does the Parmelee wrench grip without marking the pipe?

The Parmelee wrench (sometimes spelled Parmalee), also called pipe tongs, friction tongs or a friction wrench, has no teeth. Its girth surrounds the pipe completely, the way a hand closes around it, and the ratchet action of the handle takes a new grip with each pull. That is why it is used on highly polished pipe and piston rods and in tight spaces where a chain or toothed wrench would mar the finish.

How do you use and care for a Parmelee wrench?

• Use the wrench only as supplied. Parmelee warns never to modify it and never to fit a longer handle or an extension cheater for more leverage: that overstresses and damages the girth and handle, and the warranty does not cover it.
• Clean the wrench after use, apply a light coat of oil against rust and store it in a dry place.
