Review on πŸ’ͺ Efficiently Remove Stubborn Faucet Handles with the EZ-FLO 45088 Heavy-Duty Faucet Handle Puller by Ryan Will

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Bend the ends of the pliers for a better grip.

It didn't work. not finished yet. The jaws or pliers are at a 90 degree angle to the base of the faucet handle so don't hold it by constantly slipping off until I bend them inwards with a wrench like a fishhook so they get a better fly on the base. But it still didn't work; The handle still won't come off. I applied WD-40. nope Then I had a double idea; First, I had yet to hire a plumber to fix the leak on my tub spout when I couldn't access the valve stem covered by that seemingly welded faucet handle. Second, if this remover doesn't work, the next step will likely be a flashlight, and since my pins are acrylic they will melt; which means a second expensive appointment while I go out and buy new faucet handles. So I used WD-40 again, tightened the misnamed EZ Flow faucet handle remover, and went to Home Depot to buy new faucet handles and give the EZ Flow and WD-40 time to actually penetrate the faucet handle. . I came back almost 2 hours later and long story short 1. EZ Flow and WD-40 got the job done 2. I fixed the leak with a $2.99 washer (plus tax) and 3. did the install for $200 (approx) canceled . Business appointment, meeting. That doesn't include the cost of WD-40, EZ Flow, new faucet handles, etc., about $40. And all it took was a WEEK to try and get the handle off, but yeah; finally came down.
