Tool for removing lav faucet nuts

[Terry]

Sometimes a lav faucet has very hard to remove finger tight nuts on them. They've been on there so long that the strength in your fingers may not be enough to thread them off the shafts. Here is a little tool you can make using some 1.5" ABS pipe and a saw.

Four notches to fit over the tabs and off they come.
Or you can also buy a tool like that too, but sometimes you just don't have one on the truck that day.

Never thought of that, ive always used a crescent wrench

I was having a horrible time with my crescent wrench, my basin wrench was buried in cardboard from installing so many toilets and then a light bulb went off in my head.
And then I forgot to take a picture of the faucet. It was so bad that the handles didn't even turn anymore.

I just got back from dumping toilets and recycling cardboard.

I never use a basin wrench, always had better luck with 2 cresents
