DURATECH Telescoping Basin Wrench, Sink Wrench, Adjustable 3/8'' to 1-1/4'' Capacity Jaw with 10" to 17" Extendable Handle, for Tight Space

This Duratech basin wrench is a solid, well-built tool that performs exactly the way a standard basin wrench should. The construction feels strong and durable, with a good weight to it, and the jaw locks onto nuts securely without slipping. The motion is smooth, and it gives you the leverage you need for tight spots under sinks where normal wrenches or channel locks just won’t fit. It doesn’t extend, but that’s not a downside for me—this is a standard-size basin wrench designed for everyday plumbing work, and it works perfectly in that role. If you specifically need the extra reach, you’d simply buy an extendable version. For what this one is meant to do, it does it extremely well. The handle is sturdy, the swivel head grabs onto hardware firmly, and it feels like a tool that’ll last through plenty of jobs. If you’re replacing faucets, tightening or loosening supply line nuts, or working in those cramped spaces behind a sink, this wrench makes the job a lot easier. Overall, a reliable, no-nonsense basin wrench from Duratech. Strong build, great grip, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do without any issues.

Iitem is a must have tool. Works great.

I got this as an alternative way of tightening my toilet seat screw nuts because hand tightening was not cutting it anymore. It feels a little bulky, but it is able to access hard to reach areas ( toilet seat screws and under the sink). Works as expected. The jaw is spring loaded- so you have to figure out what direction you are turning to properly place the tool for maximum effect. The jaws can be flipped for both clockwise and counter clockwise movements. The handle is basically a piece of a metal pin- not the best way to manipulate the tool but it gives you a hold point while you are adjusting the other end. After all- your tightening not torquing. The only thing I truly don’t like is the telescopic adjustment ( I thought I originally ordered the non- telescopic version) I see it as a potential failure point. It is a very basic spring assisted ball and socket. The end where the ball end- it is a solid piece ( minus the ball and spring) so there is no real way to access it. Overall-I would recommend this tool for the value conscious buyer.

GetR dine son! You'll spend less time on your back! This seller has a great price so get these! Love this!

Durable, works great.

> I recently changed both a kitchen faucet and a bathroom faucet in my home, and found no use for this tool. > On my kitchen faucet, I did not have the clearance around a nut to grab and turn it with this tool. I was able to grab the nuts with a simple mechanic's wrench, but the nuts on the old faucet were frozen with rust, and I could not turn them. > Ultimately, I simply cut through the old faucet at counter-top level with a saber-saw (a true saber saw, not a jigsaw) with a metal-cutting blade. Then I remembered that I had done the same thing 20 years earlier, when I replaced the previous faucet. The faucets are not as massive as they seem --- it is easy to cut through them with a good metal-cutting blade. You don't have to cut through the old faucet flush with the countertop, and you don't want to damage your countertop trying to do that. Just cut through, perhaps 3/8" or 1/2" above the countertop and the faucet falls apart. But, the saw blades do flop around alot, so protect your countertop with cardboard, or maybe several layers of masking tape or duct tape. > The replacement faucet was designed to be an easy install, and was with simple handtools, so this tool was not needed and would have been much harder to use. > On my bathroom sink, I could not get an angle to use the tool (because of the drain line, valves, etc. A deep mechanic's socket on a "wobbly" extension did the job. > There are similar tools (including a "telescoping" version of this tool) which are extendable/collapsible which would probably be easier to get around obstructions. But, a deep socket, with a wobbly or flexible extension is probably better, if the socket is deep enough for your situation. > Note that deep sockets are not components of most handy-man's tool kits, albeit a deep spark plug socket is usually included in most socket wrench sets (which is unlikely to be the size you'll need). So, if you need to use a deep socket. You can borrow a set, or purchase a cheap deep-socket set for $15 to $20 --- assuming that you already have a standard socket set with a ratchet and extensions (including a short wobbly or flexible extension).

Was easy to learn and use. Was able to fix the sink myself instead of calling the plumber again.

Great tool for sink faucet repair/replacement. Makes the job much easier.
