USAG/Facom Nylon Strap Wrench (60mm max diameter) - For use where the surface of the parts to be tightened must remain unmarked, such as chrome or other plated pipes, shower heads & sink faucets, connectors or tap fittings, as well as components made from stainless steel or plastic/PVC. High strength replaceable nylon strap (I keep these in stock here in the US for immediate shipment). High-strength light alloy handle. The end of handle is shaped to allow the strap to be self-tightening. Identical to the Facom 138A.17 but at a considerably cheaper price plus US warranty.
The USAG U03120005 (Model 312 B) is a professional, heavy-duty belt-type strap wrench (often categorized interchangeably by the brand under chain/strap tools) designed to safely turn chrome, polished plastic, or delicate pipes without scratching or damaging the surfaces.
