Works with kitchen faucet

could have been selected This made it easier to tighten a loose kitchen faucet. Normally, any work under the sink becomes an acrobatic mess. With this tool, it took longer to clear out the cabinet under the sink to get there than it did to turn on the faucet.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Newer model

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Works like a charm.

Who would have thought🤨. Maybe a plumber, but definitely not me. I tried every tool in the hardware removal box during a faucet replacement and then when I got stuck I searched YouTube and found this tool. It worked🙃. Save yourself the hassle and buy one.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Only available in white

Difficult to use, broken the first time.

I have an old traditional faucet wrench but thought it could be a lot simpler. The concept seemed good and Ridgid is a good brand, but this particular item wasn't. It was difficult to operate (bypassing the SS supply hoses) and one of the plastic "tabs" broke off at one end the first time. I tried.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • There are new competitors

Saved me from trouble.

Kitchen remodel including undermount sink. The faucet went in with no problems, it had a bracket that screwed into the top hole of the counter - very easy, no fuss under the cramped cabinet sink. The same goes for a reverse osmosis faucet, right? NO. They want me to get in there and screw in 3 washers with a tiny screw I can't even reach. I bought the Rigid tool just for this task and it worked great. It took 2 minutes. Priceless.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Replacing faucets on several wall-hung vanities (without removing them from the wall) was an easy task. Exactly what I needed and a very well made, versatile tool that every master plumber or professional plumber should have in their toolbox as it caters for at least a dozen types of plumbing fixtures. I've researched cheap copies and an older version of this ridgid tool and it's better designed and built with a lifetime warranty. If used properly I don't see how it can ever wear out. Do…

Pros
  • Trial period for one year
Cons
  • Long delivery time

What should I do about it now?

Honestly I don't know how I would have replaced the bathroom panel without this tool. A multifunctional tool that can do 1000 different things but I only needed it for one thing. Took about 5 minutes. Now that it's done, what do I do with this thing? Maybe I can wire it to a lamp. If I put batteries and a light bulb in it, it can work as a flashlight. Seriously, if you're a pro and install a lot of lights, I'm sure this tool is indispensable. But for the homeowner who changes face every 10…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • All right

It will not work with certain mounting hardware

I bought this tool to remove my old kitchen faucet and install a new kitchen faucet. Unfortunately I could not use this tool. The main reason I bought this tool was to remove the mounting hardware (as pictured). I thought it would be difficult for me to detach and remove it. He is 14 years old and there is not enough space. If your old and new faucet hardware match the photo, this product will not work. I wanted Revain to show the instructions that came with this product (see attachment). I'm…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • High Price

A rescue tool when you need one!

I have had a telescopic sink wrench for decades and have always been able to unscrew under counter faucets. However, in any current home, the old wrench I had couldn't get the nut to tighten enough to hold it. I think it was due to a combination of angle and very limited turning radius. Didn't you know that I had this old house turned on and the same guy who made the recommendation for my old sink key used that to do the install on a recent episode. I immediately looked for it and found it, and

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Socket required

Didn't find any use cases.

A professional plumber is here. I decided to give this tool a try to limit the number of things jumping around in my tool bag. It seemed like a really impressive instrument; all functions! I've put quite a bit of effort into finding the usefulness of this tool. Every time I tried to use it it failed. There was only one use case, a faucet nut on a triangular faucet in a treatment room. set stops? No, it doesn't reach to the pressure nut. Basket for sink with 3 holes? No, the position of the…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some change

Great tool AND great warranty support.

This tool is GREAT for the plumber replacing a faucet or plumbing under the sink. Well, it doesn't always make sense. Sometimes the space between the sink and the back wall is too narrow for this tool and you have to use the classic telescopic sink wrench. BUT in most cases this tool makes the job MUCH easier. Typically provides enough torque to loosen the faucet nuts. It's as easy as using a screwdriver. (Contrast this to using a flat-head wrench.) Change (twist) the "head" end of the wrench…

Pros
  • Freehand
Cons
  • Very Expensive
