  • Easy and cheap DIY basin wrench for plastic faucet nuts and plastic water supply nuts. If your basin wrench doesn't fit or slips on the plastic faucet nuts, try making your own wrench.
    This wrench is a good alternative for a basin wrench. It's easy to make, all you need is piece of PVC pipe and some basic tools. The tool's notches grip the wings on plastic nuts found on bathroom and kitchen faucets.

      You are welcome. Sometimes it pays to hoard scraps from other projects.

    Great video... I knew there had to be something... And we have plenty of PVC at home... Thank you!

      You are welcome. Another thing that might help if it is stuck, spray some PB Blaster penetrating oil on the connection. The smell is really bad... make sure to ventilate.

    I used a thin wall 1" pvc pipe and it worked. Thanks so much for the tutorial. This saved me $20 (cheapest price for a basin wrench tool at my local hardware store).

    Thanks... good job... the nut I am struggling with has FOUR tabs, so just doing what you showed twice on the PVC.... I had this idea prior to finding your video, but was intending to use thin wall conduit... Will give the PVC a try first....!

      It's not for everyone, but if the nearest store is closed or a long drive away, it may be worth the work.

    How did you put that tool on 2nd nut with hose on it. Trick photography? Not too handy if your hoses are still connected and you can't reach nut holding them.

    • @Know-How-Now
      @Know-How-Now  Год назад

      You just have to disconnect the other end of the supply hose - you can reach that without a basin wrench. You need to disconnect that to remove the sink or replace the hose anyway. Then slide the PVC pipe up the hose and turn. No trick photography needed or hostility needed.

      Hey Mrs. KNOW HOW, I can't believe they asked you that. LOL!
