make sure you hold the tap tho
 
I thought gasman was a heating technician, not a leaky lad, I try to sreer clear of old taps n plumbing myself.
 
So is it a worthwhile tool for those times you get in a fix, or is it a DIY thing that only works when you're not a plumber and the reason you can't get it undone is just that you don't have any strength or proper set of ring spanners or similar, and then breaks when the tap is REALLY stuck?

I.e. any good for professionals or not?
 
Can you justify the cost of purchase and how often would you use them ? Been doing this job since the seventies & never needed anything like this
 
Could someone invent something similar for removing bath taps from old enamel baths.

Did a few jobs with my friend who's a plumber / gas man

Went to put tap revivers on, stuck fast, pulled out the old tool (!) & he was very impressed. In & out 15 mins.

Kitchen Tap cartridge issue.
I have attached an image of a kitchen tap which requires the housing around the cartridge to be removed. The housing is much more than hand-tight and I was wondering if plumbers have experienced this type of tap and how the housing is removed without damaging it. Thanks.

Any ideas to remove this tap?
The unit underneath has no access to the tap and from measuring, the unit does not even go as back as where the tap is. The pipework is a mess. I think the only solution is to remove the sink as I don't think my tapex kit will get to the tap bolts from cutting from the bottom with my multitool...

I have a leaking wall mounted bathroom tap
I have a wall mounted bathroom tap that leaks. Presumably I need a washer of sorts replaced. I cannot work out which tool I need to remove the tap. There is a small hole (8mm?) to the side but I can’t seem to get a fixing from either a alum key or screwdriver. Ever hopeful…? Matt
