Not from here I can't.
I find that heat and two pair of 12" grips usually does the trick on the stubborn fittings.Proud to be 'Part P', the world is now my mollusc!

Stilsons will get a better grip on the pipe than any other type grips. They won't slip either. A 14" set will move most things domestic.

I always keep a pair of 14" & 18" stilsons in the van. Got me out of quite a few pickles over the years! Got a pair of 24" aluminium Ridgid stillies in garage for if and still got me 36" Record ones in there somewhere (weigh more than ar lass and fortunately haven't had to use em yet!)

Stilsons. You can buy cheap pair 2ft long, from the market for a tenner. For the amount of time you use them, they'll do!!

Should add, that as mentioned by others, you'll get away with a pair of 18" with this. I bought a decent set of 18" as they're going to get used more often.
