It's often sold in automotive or plumbing, and is your answer as to how to unscrew a huge pipe, lid, or piece of plumbing. Ask your hardware store.

You can use it to screw on or screw off, just flip it. Every house should have one for that obnoxious giant pickle jar or a stuck canister for the ro/di.

Actually, I have several. The one in the kitchen stays in the kitchen (because I don't like staying in the dog house;) ) The one in the garage stays in the garage because, well, it's not exactly the cleanest thing around anymore! And the one for the fish related stuff stays in the fish room!
 
They don't cost much at all. And if you don't know how to use one, ask the clerk to show you. It's extremely clever, and as Billdogg says, useful in all sorts of areas.
