Abstract: Flanges become stuck upon large pipes. This invention is a flange tightening tool in combination with a wrench, or other handled tool, having a fixed jaw integral with a handle and a movable jaw. The invention provides pins connected to each of the fixed jaw and the movable jaw. The pins extend mutually parallel and from the same side of both jaws. The pins generally have a round cylindrical shape with a diameter compatible to a flange aperture. The pins have a connection to the wrench utilizing a threaded tip that engages a cooperating threaded hole in each jaw. The pins are provided in various diameters, often in kit form. One pin may be longer than the other pins and both pins have left hand threading.
