Tightening a loose kitchen faucet with the Rigid Sink Wrench

[@cgaribay02]

The engineers who designed these faucet systems deserve a lifetime of misfortune and inconveniences

[@corvettez0695]

Plumbers paid them

[@phillow7749]

Co signed!

[@SAYWSNC]

You are so right!! I called 3 plumbers who came out to my house. The first two couldn’t fix it and left cussing. The third one had one of these gizmos and fixed it in less than 5 minutes. Best $50 I ever spent!😅

[@sibaroochi]

​@@SAYWSNCI'm surprised not every plumber knows about this gadget

[@DarrellRichardson-b4b]

The water want come over after putting the new faucet

[@JamaaLS]

Whoever invented this is a genius. Got one today. Took two seconds for the faucet to come off after an hour of struggle.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Definitely a game changer 👍

[@sooners2win]

just ordered mine after struggling at my daughter's house

[@mrpurpleman9698]

So glad you mentioned Eye safety, I would have said it right at the start before even getting any tool out! I found out the hard way and got an nasty eye infection doing a tap install so please to other diy or Yters, always wear some safety glasses ideally ones that stop dust and don't steam up and don't skip it since tap connectors/tails/nuts can rust and the last thing you want is a rust metal particle going in your eye!

[@MikeIsaac]

Buying one of these now for my busted ass sink since the guys who installed it did a terrible job. Thank you for the recommendation, king!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

You won’t regret it Mike!

[@michaelorfitelli2392]

Me too. Can’t believe kitchen installers did such a half ass job. I thought they would know how to do it right.

[@kelm1123]

One of the best tools ever made, makes the job so much easier.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

I agree!

[@pitsmcgoo]

Best advice ever wear eye protection I got some nasty crap in my eyes took a week to work out.

[@spudwas]

Socket wrench with long extension into the Rigid socket fitting hole, helped a lot also!

[@vikingnorm6935]

I LOVE that Ridgid tool, I have tons of tools, but this tool makes some jobs so much quicker & easier

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Same. It’s so versatile and well built

[@KeithOutWest]

After putzing for 30 minutes with a large crescent wrench, I decided to get on KZbin and see how the smart people tightened a faucet. Bingo! Thank you, good sir, for the video. Ordered tool off your link! Currently $25. That's a bargain for this tool. It is VERY multi-purpose, too.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Love this tool so much glad you like it as well !

[@findinggodinallthings2584]

THIS! Thank you so much for the recommendation of this tool! I have been using another version of this for which I had to always unhook the hoses and it would come loose again in a week. Thanks again! Great video. Very clear.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thank you for watching :)

[@victorycalls4179]

Came for the multi-tool. Stayed for the flashlight. Those tools are great.

[@TheCmc22]

Using the same light! It is perfect, great video so damn pinched under my kitchen sink

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Love that light! Thanks for watching!

[@angelasmith4785]

Finally a way that will work! Thank you so much!

[@joefenech6839]

I have that tool also. It is so versatile that sometimes I forget what it is capable of.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

For sure I love it, so many uses

[@emanuelakh]

Where do you buy this? Link please

[@gregfisher216]

Great tip Dave ! I have one of these multitools. I am sure there are knock off cheap junk out there , but this one is the best. I don't think my faucet was installed correctly as I don't see the the large steel plate that Faucet nut tightens against.

[@jessicalopez5092]

This video is really helpful. Thank you for making it❤❤

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks for watching!

[@jhors7777]

Thank you for posting this helpful video

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@shantor100]

I'm dealing with this right now but with a utility sink and my extension claw just isn't doing it. Gotta get this

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Such a versatile tool for plumbers

[@89TNash]

What about a basin wrench?

[@philipreid7565]

It is always better if the faucet is installed correctly from the beginning !

[@user-km3rm7hl5p]

No $hit? They still come loose no matter what you do!

[@mrcoollu9662]

You can use a slim screw driver to turn it around

[@Brandon-ko3rf]

Like it, going to buy one

[@aimhigh.2726]

Do you have a trick when the wrench won't work because the faucet bolt (I don't know what it is called) became rounded and not able to turn it.

[@memesandmasculinity5491]

Is this good for pipes that go sideways?

[@LauraSimpson]

If I want to use silicone or loctite, to help seal the faucet in place, would I apply it before tightening or when I get 90% of the way?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Tighten first

[@alono4473]

Nice video! Questions, this faucet tool wrench works with bigger mounting metallic nuts?? Thanks!

[@monroe2245]

MAN Thank you!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

👍

[@jamescc2010]

Mine keeps loosen. I tried to tighten 2 screws but they did not work (wrong approach) so I will have to try differently to tighten up the nut with this tool.

[@franceslow]

thank you for sharing👍

[@Edbrad]

Why do they make you tighten it from the bottom anyway?? It would secure onto a base that’s shallow, then you should easily be able to screw the faucet on the base wtf is with such a bad design

[@notyourmama6511]

And where does a house wife get one of these ridiculous ingenious thingy

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

amzn.to/3qv8WS7 😀

[@kimmchenry4383]

Awesome thanks for the tips

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

No problem!

[@ericnorton4045]

What if it's tight at the base but the stem is loose

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Pull out the entire brass thread, and the washer and nut, rethread up into the faucet, reattach faucet and nut 👍

[@jeffrme]

Looks like it is very large and cumbersome!

[@whereveryougo_]

Is it available in home depot?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Yes Home Depot should carry these.

[@timwalker8172]

$20@@ApartmentMaintenancePro

[@squareglow]

How wide can the nut be for that too? 1.5 or 1.25?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

I know it goes up to 1”

[@Mr210man]

What about a basin wrench?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Those will work as well 👍

[@nick92065]

What about larger faucet nuts?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

I haven’t ran into that but a spanner wrench might do the trick!

[@pasqualeparente9776]

If and when I install a new faucet at a tenants or even my house and it comes with a special wrench, I just add it to my collection of tools. You never know when it can come in handy. You realize you paid for that tool in the price of the faucet... lol

[@scottmccue6523]

2 month wait to purchase from amazon

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

You can usually get these from home depot

[@pasqualeparente9776]

Not necessarily better but I was thinking if someone is heavily invested in mechanics tools , maybe they can use a crows foot with an appropriate extension. There are many ways to skin a cat as the saying goes. Not that I am encouraging animal cruelty but that is the saying...Wouldn't the basic basin wrench work..

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Basin wrench would work as well 👍

[@723lion]

who spent $40 to buy this tool then TEMU selling for $2.99

[@nedsnark6479]

This is just an ad. Waster of to e

[@angelasmith4785]

Finally a way that will work! Thank you so much!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Glad it helped!
