A pipe wrench is a common tool used for plumbing repairs because it is specifically designed to grip and turn cylindrical objects, particularly pipes. Its adjustable jaw allows it to accommodate various pipe sizes, providing a secure grip that enables maintenance personnel to easily tighten or loosen plumbing fixtures and pipes without damaging their surfaces. This tool is essential for tasks such as connecting and disconnecting pipe fittings and performing repairs in plumbing systems.

In contrast, while screwdrivers, hammers, and drills are valuable tools in various maintenance tasks, they do not serve the same specific purpose as a pipe wrench in plumbing. Screwdrivers are primarily used for driving screws, hammers are used for driving nails and other types of fasteners, and drills are used for creating holes or driving screws but are not intended for working specifically with pipes. This specialization of the pipe wrench makes it indispensable for anyone performing plumbing repairs.
