Facom "Swedish" series adjustable pipe wrench (120A.1P1/2) - heavy duty, 45-degree Swedish-style pipe wrench with a 1 1/2-inch maximum pipe capacity. Built primarily for plumbing, automotive mechanical work, and industrial pipe maintenance, this tool uses a slim profile layout optimized for narrow, recessed, or parallel pipe pathways. Forged steel body. 3 available sizes. Current stock was made in France. Future supply is made in China and subject to high tariffs.
- Jaw Capacity: accommodates pipe outer diameters up to 49 mm (1 1/2" capacity)
- Head Angle: 45° angled offset jaws allow user access when flush against flat walls or working within cramped enclosures.
- 3-Point Contact Grip: Engineered with a specialized jaw geometry that bites the pipe surface at three distinct points simultaneously to maximize surface friction and prevent dangerous slip-outs under heavy loads.
- Physical Specs: Constructed entirely from a high-quality forged steel body with induction-hardened teeth. It measures 450 mm (approximately 17.7 inches) in overall length and weighs roughly 3.19 lbs (1.45kg).
- Other 120A series Sizes: includes the 120A.1P (for 1" capacity) and the 120A.2P (for 2" capacity)
Other Swedish-style Pipe Wrench models
- Non-Sparking Variant: FACOM produces a copper beryllium explosion-safe variant under the part number 120A.1P1/2SR. This model utilizes specialized non-sparking alloys engineered explicitly for high-risk zones, such as refineries, gas maintenance vaults, or chemical facilities.
- The S-Jaw Alternation (121A): If your tasks require a dedicated curved shape to lock onto hex nuts as well as rounded pipes, look at the parallel 121A.1P1/2 series. It matches these exact dimensional specs but integrates a prominent "S-shaped" jaw contour rather than the traditional straight 45-degree angle profile
