If you correctly set the pliers you can grip a round pipe so hard that you can stand on the pliers handle.

Thanks on that. I had a plumbing pipe one time and there was no room for a normal pipe wrench because it was next to a Wall nor was there room for a Chain type pipe wrench. So you never know what you might need.
I rooted around in my Tools desperately looking for some thing would work and I found a Wrench I bought for like $4 at a cheapie tool place. Like the one in the attaché picture made in Taiwan and had Automat Wrench cast into the handle.
If fit on but I was really skeptical if it was going to work or not since cheap tools often don't hold up on tough jobs. But, it worked!
I had that Wrench for like 5 years and never used it. Used it that one time and have not used it since. But, it was surly worth the $4 just for that one use.
It looks like a wrench that could also deal with a rounded Nut or bolt but the size would likely be too large for it to fit.
