Abstract
A shank spacer member and its attachment to a pipe wrench is described. The shank spacer member prevents contact between a pipe or other work piece and a shank portion of a movable jaw when the pipe is positioned in the wrench. Upon application of torque to the wrench, the member and its placement on the wrench provides increased gripping force by the wrench upon the pipe.
