Excellent! You deserve a standing ovation fro your demonstration! 👏👏👏
Thank you!
The best tool I've bought in the last 20 years. Boy does it make life easy when changing a tap. Out of 10............15 plus!
which one?
@@airgreek The one I have is orange and more rounded than the red tool he is using. I own and rent condos and have to change tap's from time to time and this tool has made my life so much more easier. It was a job I hated.
I have the RIGID faucet tool and it works great
Good job! Thank you for posting.
Thank you!
I agree, skip the spring loaded basin wrench. It's use is very limited.
thanks!
No problem!
Thank you, this really helped me to understand how to use this tool. Job well done sir.
Your welcome!
I suggest spraying a little WD 40 up under your sink faucet before trying to remove faucet nuts
Water wouldn’t drip on your face if you disconnected the 3/8” end first. Easier to connect to the sink if you did the faucet end first.
That's probably true. I disconnect the faucet end first to direct some of the water into a pan or cup. Either way there will be some water left in the supply line so a rag is always handy.
Just don’t go crazy using it for seized valves , you could even brake the pipe insides the wall , I never even use it for that , if they don’t turn by hand I always back wrench, but don’t really go all in. Better to replace the Damm thing or at least locate the house main shut off if you decide to put more strength on it
The nuts to take off my old faucet are puttied into place. How should i take them off?
The putty is there to help stop leaks from under the faucet and though the plastic will stick to the putty it is not a glue. It will take some force but it should come off, probably by using a wrench on the tool as seen in the video.
@@toolsandrepairs i ended up stripping this tool and had to buy a bisen wrench which worked really well!
Kobalt now makes a knock off for $10 cheaper. same tool w/ all the parts.
As long as it's name brand, it's probably good. I wouldn't recommend the generic ones like the orange one in my video because the plastic is too flimsy
@@toolsandrepairs thank you for the tip!
I probably would not want to use a screw driver or a wrench to torque that tool since it's plastic. that'll break in no time.
When I had to really torque the smaller orange one, I felt like I almost broke it as it started to twist. At least this Ridgid one is a much more substantial thicker plastic that could handle a lot more torque.
Content I rate the video a 4.5. Music I give it a -4.5. Do you really really really need loud obnoxious music? Stick with the content and do something different with the LOUD obnoxious music. Thanks for the content!
After countless attempts of using this product, I would advise anyone to keep their money and buy a basin wrench, this is a real piece of junk. Very disappointed in Rigid, its a scam tool, doesn't work at all on kitchen faucet supply lines.
I used this on my kitchen faucet as well as bathroom faucet. You have to use the correct adapter for the connections. In my case it was 1/2" to 3/8" and installed easily. Plus, a basin wrench will not help remove stuck faucet nuts, which are sometimes not easy to remove by hand.
User error. Get a friend to show you how to use the tool and you will be glad you did.
I have a Husky HD Basin Wrench. It did not work on the Moen nut as the water supply lines do not allow the wrench to wrap the nut. Needed this Ridgid tool to get the job done.
I’ve used the ridgid tool on many sinks and it works great I would say user error.
