Great video. Took me 3 years to invent that kit, glad you like it. Darren Chalkly - Founder and Ex managing director of Nerrad Tools

[@tomkatgastraining]

Darren Chalkly nice piece of kit Darren love your pipe slices also 👍🏻

[@robinsoneveonline]

I would like to see this kit make short work of removing any old mixer tap on a cast iron bath, make sure you got a basin next to the tap end of the bath for good measure as well, that would be the ultimate test in my opinion.

[@mickobyobrien2650]

Darren.... could of made that kit cheaper.😜

[@Ian20232]

Had a set of these for about 18 months now and love them. I’ve had a couple of problems with the extender bar but nerrad have swapped them no questions. Fantastic tool, fantastic company.

[@antoniogalluccio4213]

I have got this kit. It is very heavy duty but doesn't always do the job. Sockets are not always long enough to reach the nut on the rod for mixer taps. For pillar taps retaining washer nuts, in most of the cases the head is too big to fit and turn. You showed that it works with a big basin, why you don't show the same with a small wash hand basin? Box spanners and basin wrench can reach everywhere. You can use a ratchet wrench in conjunction with a socket and extension to drive a box spanner anyway if you want to make yor life easier. Old school never disappoint!

Just came across your video on this I have had this set for around five or six years great piece of kit never had any issues with its worked great every time.I have had some awkward taps to change ie kitchen taps.well worth every penny great video 👍

[@mj0n4id36]

Nice video. Toolkit looks good. I’ll be adding this to my ‘tools to purchase list’ I reckon. I enjoyed this little series on taps. Thanks Derek 👍🏻 Asian Jon. Training.

[@bluedwarf8858]

I've actually bought this a year ago, it takes a bit of getting used to but it's a brilliant bit of kit, the only thing is you will still need other bits of kit where the back nut a bigger then any attachment that's offered in the red box. So you'll still need a big back nut spanner that you will need once in a blue moon

Thank you Derek tool in action demonstration excellent.

[@asif530]

Hey Derek.. Nice one.. Just changed a mono block for a wash basin yesterday.. You are right those braded flexible connectors hold quite a bit of water:-)

[@jackhouldsworth8640]

After watching this i am going to purchase one of these sets :)

[@brendanmoran9516]

Just brought this. Cheers Derek👍

[@davehunter6920]

bought the kit two weeks ago....in action about 6 times since...brill bit of kit

[@killerbean9911]

bought this recently on black friday offer, the only thing that I think should be included in sockets for changing cartridges, luckily thats what the spare section is for

[@davidmadden1195]

Going to order a kit, it can save me a lot of time and stress.

[@amjadrafiq8821]

Nice video but I would like to see a video off you changing bath taps in a tight space with that tool kit. In saying that the kits looks very good tbf.

[@chrisjones4500]

Thanks Derek..

Thanks Derek great video

What about the Bathtub??

[@quickgasservices5223]

Nice Video Derek. Hopefully will buy a set. Bit expenaive though.

[@slipperyWhenWatered]

Hi Derek, Would this work on boiler connections? Dave.

[@blueangelic]

Hi there, what do you do when you’re tap decides to slowly turn around every time you turn it off?

[@tomkatgastraining]

Tighten the back nut or replace it if the back nut is broken

[@andrewtomlinson18]

Love Nerrad tools, seem to be designed by plumbers for plumbers.

[@dadzdiaries5810]

It's OK but trying to using it when a bath is hard piped in is rather hard as the basin socket doesn't ratchet so you have to constantly take it off and move it

[@dts9770]

Dave Thompson. 👍🏻

[@antonybuckley2645]

Looks OK but can get most of that set for £15 as a socket set. Wish you could just get the 4 bath and basin tools on their own. What are they like on copper tap tails where you can't pull the pipe away like a flexi will it slide over the tap connector nut to reach the tap back nut

[@tomkatgastraining]

Antony Buckley yes it will look out for part 4 when hopefully I can finish it and I will show you 👍🏻

[@antonybuckley2645]

@@tomkatgastraining Tom can I ask a question is only lpg that needs tapered thread fittings or both lpg and natural gas

[@tomkatgastraining]

Antony Buckley both

[@antonybuckley2645]

@@tomkatgastraining thanks just trying to refresh my mind. As can't find it in the gas books I have. I thought it was just lpg as you get flat faced seals like tap connectors on hobs etc. And can remember something in a TB on fire testrictors and capping with a plug nut can't remember what it said.

What no ptfe tape

[@ek6868]

Toolstation do a less expensive set to do taps works just as well

[@ugandantoad6616]

I brought the tool station one six months ago. The ratchet broke after a few uses (and so did my work colleague 's). Purchased the nerrad tap spanner kit last week and have already used it 4 times. It is far superior (even though it is 3x the cost)

[@That_Guy-]

@@ugandantoad6616 damn I just brought the tool station version aswell

[@ugandantoad6616]

@@That_Guy- update. Nerrad tap spanner kit still going strong.very good piece tool to have. I purchased it from amazon one month ago for 145 pounds. One week later it dropped down to125. However it went back up to 145 again!

[@hi-te9bl]

who fitting the flex into insolating valves ? then uses ptfe tape to stop the leak, very cleaver.
