@@dereton33 I did it! Cupboard had a layer of water, first I turned the nut the wrong way, then realised it's anticlockwise and now we have a tighter tap. Thank you so much. You gave me the confidence to try it.
Watched a couple of these videos now, after getting stuck with a plumbing problem. Really well explained and again you had the solution to my problem. Thanks again
I found this video because I was looking for an extra long tap spanner. I wondered why no one seemed to make one. Two tube spanners together - never thought of that but as soon as I saw it it was a light bulb of course moment. Thank you, you saved the family from a hell of a lot of swearing.
Al my Pal , ' another ' simply brilliant plumbers video , well done , really useful again , saving us , youtube viewers , a lot of pounds £ , or dollars $ , thank you :-) .
Good video box spanner’s are great I bought a CK box spanner 30 years ago great for taking off the old metal back nuts but doesn’t fit some of the plastic ones.However the is a tool made by rigid made of heavy duty plastic with slits in it and you can push the the end over the nut it opens up to take a slightly bigger nut alright if there was no plaster holding it like the did in the old days.
I enjoy listening to your videos. If I ever moved to the UK people would look at me strange, you had a different name for every tool than what we call them in th US. Basin was the only word that matched, except we call it basin wrench, and box spanner are called bells, then vice grips was another tool you had, and channel locks, anyway I enjoy your videos sir, have a great day, a wonderful holiday and a happy New Year.
Hi.great video thanks. I like the box spanner set that you have which is what I need. Dos it have 17 mm size on them as it think that's what I need. If so could you send me a link to Amazon. Thanks m8.
Hi Al - Thnaks for the great vid. I bought the Silverline bath and tap box spanner from Amazon for replacing 1/2 inch plastic back nuts with proper brass ones from screwfix as somme of our sink taps were loose and I wanted to replace the plastic backnuts with brass ones. It was great with removing the plastic backnuts and for partial insertion of the brass backnuts, however when it came to applying the final pressure to create a tight seal it simply slipped as if it was 1 mm too big. I eventually got it tight with a basin spanner but it was tough! Could you suggest an altenative to the silverline set?
I recently tried to replace a tap the other day but found when I took the top of the tap off the nut was threaded...what would u recommend tool wise to take off the nut? Many thanks love your vids
Hi nice videos ! I've got a couple of stuck ceramic cartridges coming out of a wall I've tried to turn them anticlockwise with one of those silver line 19mm af 3/4inch box spanner but they won't budge the steel of box spanner is like toffee . Can u recommend a different brand of box spanner .... or a way of loosening the headgear off? Thanks
Good video. I'm still struggling with the changing taps on a basin. I've tried the basin spanner that my Dad had, but still don't have the room up there with the pipes & small area to actually turn this spanner.
Our mixer kitchen taps are wobbly. I have ordered a pack of box spanners to tighten it. They are coming tomorrow. Wish me luck!
You can do it!

The silverline set are budget tools, just stick with good makes, there are lots of them.
@@dereton33 Thanks Al
Could you add a link of your recommended box spanners to buy. Just want get proper set that will last. Thank you
+Shane Mack . There should be a link in the description at the bottom. Or in the video near the end.
What size is the last box spanner you showed for the kitchen sink
15 mm
Thank you!
+David Ewing . No problem.
What do u make of the nerrad tapex kit ?
Good kit.
I recently tried to replace a tap the other day but found when I took the top of the tap off the nut was threaded...what would u recommend tool wise to take off the nut? Many thanks love your vids
An adjustable spanner.
I tried that! Looks like I'll replace the whole unit instead

Silverline is a budget rubbish brand. Stick with a well known brand like Rothenburger.
Good video. I'm still struggling with the changing taps on a basin. I've tried the basin spanner that my Dad had, but still don't have the room up there with the pipes & small area to actually turn this spanner.
You can do it! Keep trying Steve.
@@dereton33 I never knew you could attach the box spanners together when you need more room! That made all the difference!
Thanks
Hi how can I extend the box spanner please
Put one inside the other.
Can you put the Amazon link on the video. Thank you.
It should pop up near the end. I will check it.
nice
Kitne mm ka spanner h
Best just get a set of different sizes as the tap nuts are all different.
at 7:08: what's the reference of the large tube (Silverline) spanner ? Thanks
It is a box spanner for undoing back nuts on taps.
