    LOL I bought one of those basin wrenches. Try actually getting underneath a sink to use it on a 2" nut. I can't get the wrench to grip. Plus with all the hoses in the way, you can't get a clear view, let alone space to maneuver a telescopic basin wrench. Who the hell designed the means of installing hoses and pipes underneath sinks? Everything is cluttered. There should be a rule to allow space to work.

    I was having trouble figuring out how to bend the basin wrench. When you said it was difficult to bend I was able to position it correctly. Thank you. Most people on youtube seem to assume that you know that it is difficult.

    Super helpful and nicely presented. Please keep making more of these videos. I'm in the middle of a total gut job of a 5 bedroom 3 1/2 bath that I am doing by myself because the "man" that was supposed to partner on this with me scammed me bad. I put my big girl pants on and have a great sense of accomplishment every time I complete a project. My sister and I just finished cutting and putting in the granite countertops last week. Videos like these are the things that keep me going. Thank you thank you thank you.

  • @davidazinger5639
    @davidazinger5639 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Was getting ready to spend $70 on a service call because I couldn’t get the center faucet bolt loose But then I watched your video and you mentioned using a crescent wrench for added leverage on the base of it to turn it. Well after 70 tries of using the lever I couldn’t get it - but tightened up my crescent wrench for added leverage and she turned like butter. Thank you / thank you / thank you / thank you. I got it. With your help - your guidance that is. And you saved me $70. I certainly owe you one. One thing I might also mention is most basin wrenches are for an inch bolt or less - viewers might need an inch and a half basin wrench mine was $14 for the Home Depot Husky brand which is cheaper than the $20 one at Lowe’s. Can’t tell you how many kitchen faucet videos I watched that omitted your instruction. An answer to prayer - indeed - thanks again.

      I had to tear the vanity out to get to a leaking lead drain pipe. Apparently 70 years ago when the house was built a nail was driven into that pipe. I thought it was a good opportunity to had a good view on how to use a basin wrench. It's almost impossible to get a good camera angle/light when the sink is installed.

      Hey, my basin wrench came with a pin like thing.

    @justice-jb5ld 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your explanation was helpful, but what’s the point on standing right next to whatever you are trying to loosen up?
    I would want to see how the tool works whenever a person is trying to undo a basin or sink that’s in place.

    • @Know-How-Now
      @Know-How-Now  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I am sorry you don't like how I filmed the video. You might try looking for another video for help or try fitting under a sink with a light, camera wrench and try to film your own. I think you will discover that no one will be able to see how to use the wrench. It will be fun to make your first video for youtube too!

  • @mynameisearlb

    The instructions on the back of the Husky Tools basin wrench package seem to show the product used the opposite way to that shown here. The instructions show the end flipped to the left, and the leading edge when turning as the end of the curved piece, not the flat piece leading the turn. Cannot get the nut off either way, unfortunately. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks in advance.

    • @Know-How-Now
      @Know-How-Now  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The video has over a half a million views, with thumbs up at 97.4%, no one has contested the instructions in this video. I only delete a comment if the person is cursing, which is just about never. Spray the connection with PB Blaster, have a coffee and try again. If that doesn't work, tap on connection, spray on some more PB Blaster and try tomorrow.

    Good video, but the bit about how, "in the real world" having to remove the basin from the vanity (or huge cast iron kitchen sink from the counter!) and possibly having to cut off the old hex nuts was pretty discouraging. We'll see. Hopefully a liberal dose of WD-40 will do the trick.... Good to know such tools aren't expensive.

      There are some great penetrating oils out there that will make the job easier. This guy did and excellent video on the topic:

    Are you still monitoring this? I have the tool. I tried it both ways to see if I could get it to grip. I cannot get it to hold the nut to even apply any torque to it. Upside down under the sink with the base edge of sink cabinetry in my back and zero elbow room makes getting any kind of hold on it seem impossible.

    • @Know-How-Now

      You can try making your own wrench, I have a video that shows how to do it. Also, spray that nut with penetrating oil that will help if it is stuck. WD40 is not penetrating oil. Link to video: th-cam.com/video/gtqB3V8mfeU/w-d-xo.html

    For a female voice to make this explanation of how to use this tool, was well presented and illustrated. I don't know why most female women feel that this is something that only men could do. It's no wonder why there is so much inequality in the pay gap. My view.... from London(UK)

      That's why women want equal pay.... Because they reckon they're as good as men, and possibly can sound like them, when they want. But it was obvious to hear.

    I used to be a maintenance man at an apartment complex and with all of the faucets I have changed I have never ever needed one of these. A pair of channel lock pliers will do you just fine... lol. Though this would be a bit more convenient.

    • @hfpsimon

      If you have an upscale pedestal sink, there's not enough room to maneuver a normal wrench.

    • @veterantrader7698

      My box for my new faucet said I needed a pair of basin wrench (which I never used before). After watching this video my thought are exactly like yours

  • @SnedzTheBricklayer

    Thanks for this, currently at war against the nuts on my bath taps, they're wining so far. Hopefully this works when it comes tomorrow :|

    • @Know-How-Now
      @Know-How-Now  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you haven't already tried it, spray some penetrating oil on them and go have a coffee. Then try again and you may win the war. Best wishes.

    the nut I have is old with square edges and won't budge...even with this tool

    • @Know-How-Now
      @Know-How-Now  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Try spraying some PB Blaster Penetrating oil (the big box hardware stores sell it.) where the threads meet the nut. Wait a few hours & try again. The PB Blaster has a horrible odor, but it works great.

  • @techstermb

    The grey nut that you tightened down ... mine broke, so I need to replace it. What is the name of that part? I'm hoping to buy just that specific part?

    • @Know-How-Now
      @Know-How-Now  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's likely called a lock nut. I'd suggest taking the broken one to a plumbing supply house. They might be able to find the correct replacement. The brand of the fixture would also be helpful.

    Just got new sink installed and 1 year later faucet is coming loose. This video tells me how to reach up there to tighten the nut.

    Worst case if you cant get the water line removed using that wrench, instead of removing the sink you can try cutting the line off and then just using a socket, and replacing the water line.
