Huge and expensive, yes, but looks to be the best price anywhere from Amazon in UK w/ free shipping. Even that Misterworker site and Grooves.land both want considerably more than Amazon. I'm tempted to pull the trigger on this - kinda like buying one of those giant coffee table books... only this is the tool version of a giant coffee table book. Can't imagine I'd find too many uses for it, so I'm going to try to resist purchasing. Posting it if anyone else is interested at this price.

Having said that, I still don't use any of them enough as I planned to. They work great, I just don't find enough applications as I thought I would have, and that's with me being a residential service plumber.
Can anyone comment on some good applications for this tool?

I've used the 5 and 7" extensively for adjusting object mounts for models and museum objects. They're also the best tool to fix a bent hook on a dropped measuring tape.
I rarely carry a socket set in the field. This can manage the occasional outside hex I encounter.

I do wonder if there is a benefit to this vs spending $20 more for the 22" Knipex.
But if you're working out in the field, these pliers-wrenches can often take the place of a socket set or wrench set and work much better than an adjustable wrench or, depending on the job, a set of slip-joints. I came to love them when working on a commercial roof top air conditioner, where all the tools I needed fit in a nice compact bag that was easy to climb the ladders with.

Maybe he is referring to 83 61 020 Pipe Wrench S-Type with Rapid Adjustment 2" that is 22.05 inches:

Edited for Not recommending these:
I put the link so you could see what they are, I don't recommend them because they are almost twice as heavy as the cobra 400 and they have less jaw capacity. If you need something this size get the Cobra 400 or a similar sized Aluminum pipe wrench.
nvm already mentioned
