The Amigo Operator (SW7-1V) combines the proven gripping power of our classic Amigo pipe wrench with the added convenience of a valve wheel hook. This innovative feature makes turning valve wheels effortless, enhancing safety and efficiency on the job.

Pipe wrench jaws are not designed to be side loaded, yet technicians often use them to turn valve wheels just to get the job done. Not only can this damage the tool, it can also create burs on valve wheels which could cause injury for the next technician. The patent-pending self-adjusting jaw design, combined with a valve wheel hook, prevents tool wear and eliminates burs on valve wheels that could cause injury.
