Must have tool for the DIY'er
Works best when using two of the StrapLock pipe handlers on 4" PVC pipe.Straplock holds the strap length between uses. No re-adjustment needed!So set up one strap to fit the bell end of the PVC pipe and the other strap to fit the the pipe diameter.A must have set of tools when trying to pull lengths of larger diameter PVC pipe together before the adhesive sets up. Just finished a job with 500 feet of 4" PVC pipe and was accomplished with out any cuss words because I used the Rigid Straplock pipe handle strap wrench.

Handy tool
Couldn’t find one in a store near me so I found it on Amazon and got it the next day. It works great for really getting 4”+ pipes in their fittings without question.

may work on hub removal?
What I like it fits on the hub part for commercial jobs. I haven't had a chance to check durability.

A must have for anyone working on PVC, especially from 3" and up.
I am working on a on-demand water heater project and it requires 3" PVC for exhaust and intake. PVC has a very smooth surface and is impossible to grip it tightly to turn or push into fittings. This tool changes the whole situation and make it so easy to put a tight grip on the pipe with no slipping whatsoever. The only downside is the tool need quite a big clearance to setup up the grip. If you are installing pipe in between joists and there are other pipes running at the bottom of the joist, you may have trouble setting up the tool. But nevertheless, get it before you need to work on PVC.

Pipe installation. Efficiently, and effortlessly!
I am a plumber by trade, and decided to add this to my tool collection as I believed it would execute it's purpose good,considering it is manufactured by Ridgid.I highly recommend adding this tool to your tool bag.I have used the Ridgid Straplock wrench to work with Schedule 80 Cpvc pipe ranging from 3" all the way up to 10". It has greatly assisted me by allowing me to have leverage of the pipe without needing anyone else. This makes solvent welding my pipe a breeze,whether it be a fitting,or stick of pipe. It has served me very well,and can say I have easily done over about 300ft+ of pipe installation with this tool alone.I would reccomend buying two straplocks,as you could have leverage from both sides, you will not be disappointed.

Worked well for my purpose !
Had a stuck spa pump lid. Couldn’t open it at all. Had a few people try and it wouldn’t budge. Ordered this wrench. Worked instantly using one hand to turn ! Great tool to get leverage.

Not a strap wrench
Works fine for the product's actual intended purpose, but I cannot in good conscience leave higher than 3 stars for a product listed with "strap wrench" in the title which is not a strap wrench.Yes it has a strap, and you can wrench with it, but it is not a strap wrench. If the seller removes the deceptive "strap wrench" identifier from the product title I will revise to the 5 stars the product deserves.
