WHAT DOES STILLSON WRENCH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Stillson wrench

Pipe wrench

The pipe wrench, Stillson wrench or Stillsons is an adjustable wrench used for turning soft iron pipes and fittings with a rounded surface. The design of the adjustable jaw allows it to lock in the frame, such that any forward pressure on the handle tends to pull the jaws tighter together. Teeth angled in the direction of turn dig into the soft pipe. They are not intended for use on hardened steel hex nuts or other fittings because they would ruin the head; however, if a hex nut is soft enough that it becomes rounded beyond use with standard wrenches, a pipe wrench is sometimes used to break the bolt or nut free. Pipe wrenches are usually sold in the following sizes: 10, 14, 18, 24, 36, and 48 inches, although smaller and larger sizes are available as well. They are usually made of cast steel. Teeth, and jaw kits can be bought to repair broken wrenches, as this is cheaper than buying a new wrench.

Definition of Stillson wrench in the English dictionary

The definition of Stillson wrench in the dictionary is ® a large wrench having adjustable jaws that tighten as the pressure on the handle is increased.
