I'm looking to find and use these when taking apart txv valves, the standard jaws on a 12" is too thick on some txv's and pushes in the inlet or outlet pipes.

Thanks
 
The 12" wrenches are too big for TXVs in my opinion. I've prefer two shorter wrenches on TXVs. The shorter ones work well in tight spaces and have thinner jaws. I dislike the sloppy actions of the cheap wrenches.

Some txv's are harder to break loose than others, more inches= more leverage, I agree on the jaw width which is why I would like one that doesn't compromise leverage for width.
