    Thank you! I couldn’t get this damn sink to stand back up and as a woman who lives alone, I don’t always feel comfortable with a strange man in my house when I call for a repair. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate a tradesman but you get what you and I’ve gotten some weirdos so this tool ❤❤❤❤

    Moen currently sells their faucets with the tools included, but your video gave me motivation to do it. Recently purchased a moen faucet and they have the option of tightening it even more with a screwdriver. So that’s fixed. Keep up the good videos!!!

    Best tool out there. Worth the money. Problem is the cheap plastic nut that ships with the faucet will loosen again. Hoping for better luck with the oem metal nuts that are available by moen in most plumbing isles.

      Those multi turn stop valves often times do seem to leak if they haven't been turned in a long time. I had to replace my toilet float valve and after shutting off the stop valve it leaked for a couple of days. I ended up replacing it with a 1/4 turn ball valve unit. I just replaced another stop valve for the kitchen sink and when I looked at the old stop valve, I could see that the washer was starting to come apart. It's over 20 years old. I replaced it with another 1/4 turn ball valve type. I read somewhere else that it's a good idea to turn all your stop valves in the house at least once or twice a year. Otherwise they can get stuck and won't turn.

    Thanks for posting this. I have a similar issue with a Delta faucet handle coming loose - the handle is separate. There was a gasket-thingy under it, seems like it’s there to tighten the base against the counter not seal and I just can’t find one to replace the old one which basically disintegrated. Faucet is Delta Victorian (discontinued) and I can’t find a replacement. OD is about 2.5”. What the heck can I use? Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

    This is exactly my problem. I’ve got the threaded pipe covering the hose in position but it won’t screw into the faucet head no matter how many times I turn it. With all the other hoses running along side up into the faucet head, I can’t see how or where this one threaded pipe screws into the head. Any advice?
