    Those Snap-On Swedish pipe wrenches are made by Bahco either in here in Spain (if it is Bahco) or Argentina (the Snap-On ones I believe), maybe you can get them through one of the european Amazon if you don't want to go the Snap-On route. They're called Bahco 14x depending on the model.

    I guess I am lucky, got a good Snap On truck up here in WA state. I had them rebuild my 1/2" ratchet even though it wasn't broken, the mechanism was rough. I didn't think he would rebuild it, but he did.

    Hey you should swap out that Magnet. I have the same one and like you I'm famous for dropping tools, mine picked up a ratchet with a 2-3/8" socket out of an engine compartment of a 325 so I know yours is defective. Also when I got mine I was testing it and it would lift a 6 ton jack stand with a plate welded on the bottom.
