Tap Spanner Question

[efiste2]

The hot water tap in our bathroom sink is always spins round when using it, ie its not tight enough under the sink.....I have tried by hand, but I think one of these Tap Spanners is needed. These blue coloured ones seem to be the popular one, and are 13mm/19mm are these the ones to do the job properly......

Don't waste your money on that rubbish, get a Rothenberger tap spanner, which will fit any size backnut.

I bought one of them, It fits all back nuts BUT doesnt in many sink recesses!!

Sorry to correct you but a sink is in the kitchen or utility room. In a bathroom, shower room or toilet you have a wash basin, basin or wash hand basin.

For a DIYer I'd not spend a fortune on a tool you'll rarely use, something like this should be OK

I can rarely get that tool in too.....I go for a box spanner (pipe off, natch) and for gawds sake chuck the plastic back nuts away, if thats what you have Replace them with brass ones.
