tank wrench vs. strap wrench for heater upkeep?
I've been thinking about getting a wrench to make my life easier when dealing with my water heater. I've seen some folks swear by tank wrenches, saying they're sturdy and give you good leverage, but others seem to prefer strap wrenches because they're gentler on the pipes and fittings. I'm kinda leaning towards the strap wrench myself, but I'm not totally sure yet. Which one do you guys prefer and why?
