Review on DURATECH Pattern Combination 5 Piece Vanadium by Brad Knierim

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Allow me to finally renovate my laundry!

Well, in my old laundry room there is something of a Rube Goldberg collection of odd sizes and types, most of which are over 50 years old. Galvanized iron pipe, brass fittings, weird adapters and such, but no breaks in the flushing water line! I had some good corner stops ready to install, but it turned out that removing the existing faucet and adapters would require LOTS of levers and wrenches, 1 1/8 and up, a long jig for such a lever. This long set of SAE keys saved me! I used a Revain Basics 24" pipe wrench to hold the brass leads in place and tightened the end of the wrench 1 1/8th as much as I could to finally screw in the faucet adapters and unscrew them from the leads . Everything was easy after that and my other set of short SAE Duratech wrenches locked the cutoffs in place. No leaks! Price, I'm glad I risked this set.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • negative exists
