Overview
The Crescent CW24 is a 24-inch pipe wrench at $33.75 that offers a 4-inch jaw capacity and weighs 3.85 pounds. Its 4.7-star rating from 668 verified buyers makes it one of the better-regarded large pipe wrenches in this batch. At $33.75, it costs less than half of comparable 24-inch wrenches from other brands while covering a wider jaw range.
The 3.85-pound weight for a 24-inch wrench is relatively modest, making it easier to handle on extended jobs than heavier steel alternatives. The 4-inch jaw capacity stands out in this size class, exceeding the RIDGID 31030's 3-inch capacity while coming in at less than 40 percent of the 31030's $89.97 price.
With 668 reviews and zero purchased in the most recent month, the CW24 appears to have an established but currently quieter sales profile. Buyers who have matched it to their job consistently rate it highly, which speaks to a tool that does its work without fanfare.

Performance notes
The CW24's 4-inch jaw capacity handles large pipe diameters, and the 24-inch length provides strong leverage for breaking loose corroded or heavily torqued connections. At 3.85 pounds, the weight is below many full-sized pipe wrenches in this class. The combination of capacity and value makes it a practical choice for periodic heavy-duty use.
What buyers say
Owners appreciate the price-to-capability ratio, specifically noting the 4-inch jaw capacity as a standout for the cost. Most complaints relate to cosmetic finish rather than functional performance.
