- The right tool for the right job. Removing or installing a sink faucet usually means working in tight spaces. A basin wrench is designed for those tight spots.

We put a man on the moon can't under the sink connections be made easier?
I’m with you👍
Someone get the Russians to challenge America in plumbing technology lol.
😂😂😂😂😂 yes!!!!!! My thoughts exactly.. but less comical 😅
Great to see the tool being used from different angles. I bought a $15 basin wrench vs spending $200 to hire a plumber to change my kitchen faucet. Thanks!
I used this video to remove and install a new soap dispenser, and tighten the spout. The nut and washer on the soap dispenser were rusted, and very tight. The basin wrench grabbed onto it, and it finally gave. Good thing I was wearing my eye protection because of all the rust that fell down. Thanks for the great video!
Also when you tighten the tap nut the tap can turn.It helps for someone to hold the tap whilst you fasten the nut with this spanner.
The basin wrench you used is that adjustable?
I wish I had this tool when I was changing out bathroom faucet. Boy it was a tight tight space.
This tool can be better...it needs a steadier or more secure grip around the nut....this tool slips off sometimes. Maybe there needs to be a way that the stick part, can rotate and adjust the head to wrap around the nut more tightly.
Or maybe the head of this tool can be a full circle and the stick part can rotate to adjust to the same size as the nut.
Yea I need that for my new kitchen faucet
I have one but have no clue what for it was 😮
Yeah, I have one from my father-in-law's tools and was basically tf is thing for
So helpful thanks 🙏🏽
I was doing it the same way, how come it doesn't hold firm but keeps sliding?
I've had that; almost feels like the spring isn't quite tight enough. If you'd sprayed the nut with WD40 or similar then wipe off the excess, then sand around the nut. Another video recommends putting sandpaper around the inside of the wrench for extra grip. Failing that it's a blowtorch.
.Great how to
I need to install a Franke kitchen faucet and that nut is 1 1/4" will this tool do that size? They already installed the sink so it's very tight in there. thanks
Yes I have never seen a basin wrench that doesn’t go up to 1 1/4”. The one used in this video should work so look for that size!
For me it failed because it was too tight
So why doesn't it work for me? The jaws of the wrench don't grip the nut- just spins
Man i hate tools so much. Seems like you always need something new
Why are you blaming tools? Tools are helpful. If you took care of your stuff, or didn’t buy stuff, you wouldn’t need to fix anything. You could also pay someone to fix your stuff if you hate tools.
Lol he said “work that nut out” at 1:14 check it out
....ok? And?
I found one of these in the road a couple of years ago. I use it to pull the tension spring on the zero turn mower deck. now I know! thanks.
I guess I should take better care of it.
I’ve used this basin wrench on really tight bolts when working on the car. Sometimes I sharpen the teeth to make sure It grabs a little better.
@@livefree6878 id love a video on sharpenings
Thank you for posting - this is very helpful 😊
Great video, especially for an absolute amatuer like me. great vid, I gonna buy one and change my taps. 👍👍👍👍👍
How did you get the head to turn at a right angle?
Helped a lot thanks
