You can do this from the top much easier!!

That was so satisfying! I have one stuck nut that is stopping me from removing an old bathroom sink faucet - so frustrating! This is the fifth faucet that I have changed the last month and this one has defeated me for now. I will be borrowing a drill tomorrow! ( and yes, I did try every method that you wrote in your intro!)

I tried swearing, but it doesn't work on these darn plastic nuts. Your way is a lot more productive.

“Fingers grow back….” Wait.

I sooo need an oscillating tool.

how about using a heat gun on low setting and turning it off with a gloved hand

I think the real question here is how those plastic nuts end up so tight in the first place....Excellent video on the the trials and tribulations of plumbing!

You are amazing. I forgot I had this tool and after failing with multiple wrenches, a Dremel, and multiple other ideas I came across this video and forgot I bought this tool a year ago to put in a cat door.

thank you!

I only had a corded oscillating tool and still had water in the toilet tank so I couldn't use it. Ended up taking off the entire tank. It's still sitting there 3 days later!

Here I am. Eating a snack after letting my blood pressure rise, after fighting these things for an hour and cussing everyone and everything. Grabbing this tool now

Amazing. Saved me what little hair I have left stressing out over this thing.

Thank you!!!

I used the same tool on a rental home I own this week made the job easy!

Read the comments and used a chisel. Worked slick. Thanks for posting this.

I "sort of " was thinking that's the last resort .. but heck... same problem I'm having ; not happy. Do you know why those retaining nuts are so tight? It's because the installer (maybe not you but...) thightened it "professionally" when the sink was off the counter during initial install. If a plumber had done that; it was on purpose so that you will have to call a plumber to help you. Nope... I'm not going to. Another way is take the sink right off since you're under the cabinet anyways. I have that multi tool cutter .. that tool you described did the same thing to me; broke one of the flanges off.

Awesome!!! Can I borrow that tool when you’re done??? 😅

THANK YOU for the drill bit and/or hole saw comments for just in case you don’t have the mini saw tool in the video. That was the ticket for me, easily!

THANK YOU !

Damn this faucet, am gonna use the grinder and cut from the top.😢

Thumbs up for the camera work alone keeping it in focus and pointed at the subject 99% of the video.

Great idea!!!! Thanks Man!

I was thinking wood chisel but thought I would check RUclips first for a better solution. Thanks.

for those who dont have this tool... i realized after this video, brute force was necessary. a flathead and a hammer worked for me.

Best video ever

This is going to salvage my Saturday I had already admitted defeat to. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the video. The same thing happened to me, and I had to saw it off as well. Thanks buddy.

Nice one mate!

Thank you for this.

What is the tool called?

Here 5 days into a tough faucet change, ripped sink off the cabinet and have it face down on floor, flat head and hammer to those plastic things. THANK YOU.

Luckily, I was able to use the RIDGID 57003 EZ Change Faucet Tool to get the nuts off. I also went ahead and replaced the supply lines while I was at it. I installed a Pfister faucet kit that included a push and seal drain assembly. We'll see how long the push and seal function lasts.

This is still the most legit way to remove these god forsaken plastic nuts. Thanks for sharing.

I had the same idea, just not the right tool. Going to try a drill and if that doesn't work, its off to Harbor Freight... ah I mean Home Depot.

Angle Grinder on the top side Metal Max diamond blade

After endless frustration, 2 minutes with a Dremel tool and a carving bit took the damn stubborn nightmares of a plumbing problem right off.

😂😂😂 when all else fails cut it off lol 🫡 assignment understood. Having the same freaking problem cussing the heck out of whoever installed my kitchen sink for the last hour and have seen this tool used twice now for sink issues guess that means another investment for this girl

Yep this is what im dealing with now.... lucky i already have an oscillating tool.

What sick F designs this S, diabolical

Thank you so much! I’m glad I found your video!!!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I ended up using the same power tool because there was no way I was getting them off any other way.👉👈👍👾 subscribed ✅

Can’t buy an eye but fingers grow back had me rolling 😂

I heat up a long old flat head screw driver from harbor freight and melt it in half.

We wasted hours listening to other fixes. The oscillator saw worked fast. No damage. Thanks.

A wood chisel also works, just need to be careful with fragile sink material.

Awesome solution! Many thanks!

I bought one of those kobolt tools only mine was a ridgid. Waste of money. Ended up taking the sink top off.

Thank you. I don’t currently own this tool. But I used a drill bit to make a few holes in the plastic till it broke down.

this costs 200 dollars itself. most home-owners wont have this. can i use a drill with bits instead ? the same bits used to go into a dry wall for example.

Just did this proj earlier and wish i had a cutter.. i basically chiseled ea side of nut with a scraper and small hammer lolol and yes took about 2 1/2 hrs. 2nd nut was even harder than the first. I did think of drilling into ea end but didnt want to pierce my sink. I had the rigid version of nut tool, but once you snap those four sides, you improvise. Awesome vid, def will invest in an oscillator for future projects.
