The now - almost ubiquitos plastic handled - rubber strap wrenches work on everything from opening jar lids to turing shower heads -- but they hardly will work to position a piece of 12 inch steel pipe.

I'm particularly drawn towards Vicegrip style for stubborn oil filters. www.amazon.com/Vise-Grip-Chain-Clamp-Vise-grip-Locking/dp/B000FMK2SS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1201717888&sr=1-2 Chain wrenchs are great! grabs just about any thing,even square or stripped things.

At the other end of the spectrum - the Vise Grip 20R (27) chain pliers - with an 18 inch chain may fit better. If you have serious pipe to move look at Wheeler Rex or Ridgid Chain tongs:
