That's true, but what I think this gadget brings to the table is the attachment that acts as a vise to secure the mating pipe or fitting. Of course you can accomplish the same thing with a second wrench, but trying to manage two pipe wenches and two cheaters, particularly in a cramped or overhead spot, would get clumsy. Especially so if you were working alone.

Clearly not a tool that you would use every day but as I said earlier, I could see this could really make you day go more easily in some situations. Me, not being a plumber or pipefitter, I would rarely ever need such a thing but I can recall a few times it would have been really handy to have.
