Talk:Plumber wrench

Nomenclature trouble
There seems to be a nomenclature issue with this article. I believe the purpose of the article is to describe the tool patented by Johansson in 1888. The name "plumber wrench" is not really widely used for only this tool in English but there may be no other better name. Ultimately, perhaps this article ought to be merged with pipe wrench. There are three major kinds of pipe wrench that need to be discussed, Stillson, Ridgid-type or "new" (as that page puts it in the caption), and this Johansson wrench. In addition, it's important to clear up confusion with "monkey wrench" (as that page currently does). However, there may be good Wikipedia reasons for keeping the articles separate. We should hear from an expert editor.
