    This may be a dump question but is that more of a plastic gag gift wrench or is that an actual wrench? I can't really tell from the picture. If it's a real one what possesed you to get that for your wife?

    I never realized I needed a pipe wrench that big. Now I not only need the wrench, I am going to have to get some bigger piping to use it on as well!

    If you picture it clamped on to something big that's bent/twisted with a come-a-long attached to the handle end while you are running a torch.....

    A local plumbing shop form the 60's/70's used to have one of those on display in their store front.

    Yes, it's real....yes it was used! The owner of the shop has long since passed on, the son has closed the business and hired on with the school systems that he has since retired form years ago; but....the wrench is still in his possession! In case he has to work on any of the new fangled computers or cell phones, I guess!
