Tips: Self-adjusting pipe wrench working principle
The self-adjusting pipe wrench actually has a ratchet structure, a disguised application of friction ratchet. General ratchet structure are the combination of driving wheel and driven wheel in the tool, the active wheel driving driven wheel and driven wheel turning nut again. This kind of self-adjusting pipe wrench actually drives nut rotation directly by the friction of the teeth and nut, simpler in structure than tooth ratchet. The wrench does have the locking claw which may cause problems, with superior structure compared with ratchet wrench, simple and durable. Not like adjustable wrench or ratchet wrench with wearing parts, the self-adjustable pipe wrench is low manufacturing cost.
The reason why this wrench is called universal wrench is that it can not only tighten or loosen nuts, but also fastening all kinds of things that it can hold, such as pipes, table legs, round, square, polygonal etc. As long as its teeth can hold, it can work. That's the unique feature of it.
Problem comes, of course. The friction ratchet drives the nut (or other screw) by static friction force; the magnitude of the static friction force is the product of the pressure and friction coefficient, so there must be certain to have friction pressure. However, too large pressure naturally damage the nut, and if the pipe is not enough strong, pipe will be crushed. Therefore, when using the self-adjustable pipe wrench, please pay attention to don't hold the pipe too tight.
