Pipe Wrenches
Pipe wrenches, like many other wrenches, are designed for a specific purpose. In this case, to turn more cylindrical objects, such as pipes and pipe fasteners. The serrated teeth are meant to bite into the metal of the pipe or similar object, providing a grip without the need for a hex-shaped surface. In fact, pipe wrenches are best not used on ordinary bolts as the teeth can damage the shape.
