One of the most useful tools in any plumber\u2019s toolbox is without a doubt the basin wrench. This humble tool is specifically designed for removing or installing the difficult-to-access mounting nuts located directly under the faucet of your sink. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever installed or removed an old faucet<\/a> in a bathroom or kitchen, you\u2019re probably familiar with the frustration of trying to access the mounting nut with a regular pair of pliers. Firstly, the mounting nut is located above and behind<\/em> the sink basin, and is often in a tight space that\u2019s difficult or impossible to reach comfortably.<\/p>\n

Luckily, the basin wrench makes this job much easier by allowing you to tighter or loosen the nut from a distance.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look at this useful tool in more detail \u2013 so you\u2019ll be able to do your own faucet and sink plumbing without calling in an expensive plumber.<\/p>\n
