What's the deal with these guys? They seem intended to do the same thing, speed up pipe wrenching by fitting to size faster and letting you pseudo-ratchet, when would you use one of these over the other? When would you still use a regular Stillson pipe wrench?
I've only ever used a regular pipe wrench, and probably use it more for aggressive persuasion of other objects than for actual pipes so I'm especially interested in that kind of stuff.

I’ve got a couple of the Icon swedish pipe wrenches at home and don’t use them a ton with weekender stuff because I don’t run into like 1.5”+ pipes with residential handyman gigs much. I’m thinking about bringing them to work and seeing if they’re worth a damn, at least that style of pipe wrench.
Man I can’t stand regular blue Channellocks anymore. These things are great when it comes to stainless steel pipes and fittings and you don’t feel like going to grab a pipe wrench.
