Buy Now – Ridgid Offset Wrench Tool
I first discovered this tool while browsing around the plumbing department at Home Depot.
Although I am a tool geek, I thought to myself “just another ridiculous product” for the weekend plumber. “Real” plumbers use basin wrenches so why would I even entertain making a purchase like this?
Well, slowly but surely, more and more faucet manufacturers were replacing metal locknuts with plastic ones. My basin wrench was getting the job done but I started to find that when I attempted to drive the locknuts home, I would break the tabs off them. This was really annoying because once that happened I was unable to tighten them any further. Well, I broke down, swallowed my pride and purchased the Ridgid faucet and sink installer and to my surprise,
I found that this is a really a cool tool! It comes with a variety of useful inserts on either end which makes life under a sink much more effective. I won’t go into all of its uses in this article but will only to say that a picture (in this case, a video) is worth a thousand words.
I encourage you to watch the video where I explain in detail exactly how I use it and how it can make faucet installation a breeze. The strainer wrench and handy emergency water shut off valve wrench is worth the price of the tool alone.
It’s ergonomically designed so you can tork up the locknuts and basin nuts without using any other tools, enough said. Check out the video and if you still have questions you can always reach me at info@bobsplumbingvideos.com.
