ABSTRACT:
The self adjusting pipe wrench includes a movable jaw that is spring urged to its closed position with respect to its fixed jaw. A lock element holds the movable jaw in a open, fixed position until it is disengaged from the movable jaw, whereupon the movable jaw moves into engagement with a nut, or the like, or to its closed position. A housing is located about the path of movement of the leg of the movable jaw and extends between the lock element and the joke of a handle to maintain the lock element out of force-bearing relationship with respect to the yoke.
