How Well Do You Know These Plumbing Tools?
2. What tool is ideal for tightening and loosening compression nuts on plumbing fixtures?
Correct Incorrect Basin wrenches have a long handle and a special jaw design that allows them to reach and operate in tight spaces, making them perfect for working with compression nuts under sinks. A crescent wrench can be used in some cases but lacks the reach and specific design. A torque wrench is used to apply a specific amount of torque and isn't typically for general plumbing nut tightening. A pipe wrench is better for gripping and turning pipes, not nuts on fixtures.
