TEKTON 10 to 17 Inch Telescoping Basin Wrench (7/8 - 2-1/2 in.) | WRN92004

Like many others, I had to remove some old kitchen sink hardware and none of my wrenches could fit up in those tight spaces. This tool can. If I had the spare cash, I would buy every size available for working in tight spaces. The mechanism the tool uses to latch on is excellently machined. Some people were complaining it needs 2 hands to properly latch on, and while that makes it much easier, I was able to use a single hand to get the tool into position and latch the tool on. The steel used on the head and the handle are both super tough. I'm not worried about deformation at all.My only complaint has already been voiced, but here it is anyway. The little bar that comes with this tool to slide into the bottom and provide a handle for torque... doesn't have any mechanism holding it in besides gravity. Usually this tool will be used vertically, so it's not a huge problem, but I would love both some way to attach the bar to the rest of the tool, and to store it. If the product maker can fix this issue, they will -easily- have the best version of this tool on the market (compared even to other big store brands like Rigid).All in all, I could install my beautiful new sink, and I now have a spare tool for grabbing hex heads that thought they could escape!

Easy to use. Worked great on a deep under-the-counter sink once I fully extended it. Took less than 5 minutes to figure out and use. That includes the time for an old guy to get under and out from under the sink.Yes, the crossbar does slide out and some have complained. If you ever have to put it in a toolbox, you'll appreciate it though because it keeps it from being a wonky shape that doesn't fit well. If you really want it permanent, slide it through the tool, add some heat, and pound the end a bit to flatten like the other end. Otherwise, just tape it to the tool when you're not using it, which isn't often if you're a DIY home owner. If you're a plumber, you already have a full set of crow's foot offset wrenches that won't nick up your customers faucet nuts. Use them.

I bought the Milwaukee first and was very disappointed in its construction. The fixed jaw on mine had teeth pointed in the wrong direction...the wrench would not grip but merely slide. The Tekton at least had the teeth pointing in the right direction. I was able to tighten my loose faucet.My biggest complaint about this Tekton is the T-handle just falls out. There is no way to secure in in the handle. Maybe this is by design so you can use a longer lever if needed but I find it a royal pain. I am considering heating up the one end and smacking it flat with a hammer. Come to think of it, I likely wouldn't need heat to do that.

I have to say this tool works exceptionally well. I had a very hard to reach faucet nut under the counter with very limited space in which to work. This tool let me retighten the faucet in 5 minutes.

I needed a basin wrench to tighten a loose kitchen faucet. It was in a very tight spot and I couldn't get a wrench on the nut to tighten it. Ordered this wrench and with 10 minutes and no bruises to my hand it did the job. Saved me probably at least $50 for a plumber.

I liked the way you can extend the reach so your hands are not hampered by the drain pipes. What I didn't like is that the jaws did not grab the faucet basin nuts. I had to physically grab the jaws of the wrench to hold it tight on the nut in order to keep it from slipping. I bought the smaller wrench that is supposed to go up to a 1-1/4 inch nut, but it just doesn't grab the nut. Also, the pin that goes through the end of the handle for leverage should be retained somehow. Just when you want to start turning the wrench the pin falls out and you have to start all over.

I'm no handyman but I trusted the reviews and fixed my loose kitchen faucet in a jiffy! The nut was in a very awkward spot but this wrench allowed me to access it and grip it easily. A couple of turns and good to go! Highly recommend!

This basin wrench made it possible for me to replace our old leaky kitchen water faucet with a new one. It saved me from calling a plumber. I chose the 11" wrench; yes, a longer wrench would be easier to unscrew the nut from the old faucet and to screw on tightly the new one. But, a longer wrench would be heavier to work in such a tight spot.This wrench has a good design and quality. A very good investment for a DIY homeowner who likes to "tinker" with things.
