A basin wrench is not always required if you are going to change the sink (basin) as well. If changing the faucets in a vanity it is possible to change the faucets with a pair of channel locks although it is a little more work it will save you from buying a basin wrench. On a wall hung sink or pedestal basin; a basin wrench is needed although you can remove the sink and install the faucets if you wish.A little more work, but no purchasing of a wrench...Have a good day

i only use the square Rigid basin wrench, so you can easily grip it with pliers if need be. Cheap tools are a bad idea

Excellent. Had seen it on The Old House but could not quite remember. Very helpful.

Good post, THX for the help.

thank you for the help. im hanging onto my house by a thread and cannot afford to hire a plumber so need to do the kitchen faucet on my own. being a female who was taught how to cook and sew with no skills in home repair is a challenge. i knew i needed one of these wrenches but had no clue as to how in the heck to use it. again thanks, oh wish me luck.

When I was in high school in the 60's, girls were forced to take Home Ec & boys forced to take Shop. I'd always wished I'd been able to take Shop. And now in retrospect, it would have come in a lot more handy than Home Ec ever did.

[sharonra2000]

well the home ec and my mom taught me how to cook and i do that pretty well. its just to one's advantage to be multi talented. my husband was like that. he was a jack of all trades ..he was even a good cook too. pretty well rounded. but yes i know what you mean. its nice to know stuff especially when it means you do not have to count on someone else to do the job for you.
