Personal Consumer Issues • Size of Adjustable Wrench to Tighten Drain Pipe

Wouldn't it be better to use a pipe wrench?

No.
From the description of the OP, it appears they have a leak at the "Mack" washer.

Channellocks will supply plenty of torque but are also limited by grip strength of the user to keep from over torquing. (You can still DEFINITELY over torque with Channel locks as well though.)

Plus they have many more varieties of use on different plumbing & mechanical things.

Whereas a pipe wrench is more specific & limited in its use, can be more cumbersome for this application, and easier to over torque something.
