MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee Tool continues to deliver unprecedented innovation for plumbing and mechanical trade professionals with the introduction of the industry’s most adaptable pipe wrench – the CHEATER Aluminum Adaptable Pipe Wrench. In 2016, Milwaukee unveiled the first adaptable pipe wrench in the industry called the CHEATER. This new aluminum version builds on that new-to-world, 3-length adaptable design with a brand-new all-in-one design and quick-slide handle that can be adjusted to the user’s desired length.
 
            The original CHEATER Steel Pipe Wrench was built to solve user frustrations of using a piece of pipe as a handle extension or having to bring multiple sizes of pipe wrenches to the jobsite. However, unlike the original CHEATER which came with two interchangeable handles, the new aluminum CHEATER incorporates an all-in-one handle for increased productivity by eliminating the need to carry multiple handle extensions. The quick-slide handle provides adaptability and allows users to lock in the appropriate length for the work at hand including: 11” for tight spaces, 18” for general purpose, and 24” for maximum leverage.
 
            The OVERBITE JAW™ gives this wrench the largest gripping surface and the 2.5” jaw capacity matches that of a traditional 18” pipe wrench. Designed with dual coil springs, it provides maximum durability and longer tool life. It also comes equipped with a tether-ready lanyard hole for tie-off when working at height.
 
            The new CHEATER Aluminum Pipe Wrench demonstrates Milwaukee Tool’s continued commitment to providing solutions that help professionals save time and increase productivity.
