Strap Wrenches
Klein Grip-It Strap Wrenches
Strap wrenches grip round objects with a strap instead of metal teeth, so they turn pipe, fittings, filters, and polished parts without marring the surface. Every strap wrench in this collection is a Klein Tools Grip-It model. Handles come in 6, 12, and 18 inches, with listed capacities of 1-1/2 to 4 inches on the 6-inch, 1-1/2 to 5 inches on the 12-inch, and 1-1/8 to 8 inches on the 18-inch. The SHBKIT is a 2-piece kit.
What to Look For
- Capacity. Pick a wrench whose range covers the largest diameter you turn.
- Handle length. Longer handles add leverage on stuck parts. Shorter ones fit tight spaces.
- Kit or single. The 2-piece kit covers small and large work with one purchase.

Strap Wrenches FAQ
When should I use a strap wrench instead of a pipe wrench?
Use a strap wrench on plastic pipe, chrome, polished fittings, and filter housings that teeth would scratch or crush. Use a pipe wrench on threaded steel pipe that needs high torque.
How do I keep the strap from slipping?
Wrap the strap in the direction you want to turn, pull it snug before applying force, and keep the strap and the part free of oil.
