Yeah ... even a little 12" pipe wrench would do the trick. Just check the teeth to make sure they're still sharp if buying used ... otherwise you won't be able to get a bite on it.
The big problem is that the valves are usually screwed on pretty tight. If you can find an 18" long piece of 1.5" galvanized to slip over the handle of whatever wrench you're using that will usually give you enough leverage to crack them free.
