You are so right!! I called 3 plumbers who came out to my house. The first two couldn’t fix it and left cussing. The third one had one of these gizmos and fixed it in less than 5 minutes. Best $50 I ever spent!😅
So glad you mentioned Eye safety, I would have said it right at the start before even getting any tool out! I found out the hard way and got an nasty eye infection doing a tap install so please to other diy or Yters, always wear some safety glasses ideally ones that stop dust and don't steam up and don't skip it since tap connectors/tails/nuts can rust and the last thing you want is a rust metal particle going in your eye!
After putzing for 30 minutes with a large crescent wrench, I decided to get on RU-vid and see how the smart people tightened a faucet. Bingo! Thank you, good sir, for the video. Ordered tool off your link! Currently $25. That's a bargain for this tool. It is VERY multi-purpose, too.
THIS! Thank you so much for the recommendation of this tool! I have been using another version of this for which I had to always unhook the hoses and it would come loose again in a week. Thanks again! Great video. Very clear.
Mine keeps loosen. I tried to tighten 2 screws but they did not work (wrong approach) so I will have to try differently to tighten up the nut with this tool.
If and when I install a new faucet at a tenants or even my house and it comes with a special wrench, I just add it to my collection of tools. You never know when it can come in handy. You realize you paid for that tool in the price of the faucet... lol
Not necessarily better but I was thinking if someone is heavily invested in mechanics tools , maybe they can use a crows foot with an appropriate extension. There are many ways to skin a cat as the saying goes. Not that I am encouraging animal cruelty but that is the saying...Wouldn't the basic basin wrench work..
