Hi,
I spent the weekend fighting to undo the copper hex-nut to replace a washer on my mixer tap. The adjustable spanner and mole grips failed miserably (bad workman blames tools etc..).
While there are still enough corners left I was wondering what is the best tool for this job?
I was thinking that something which grips all 6 flats - and has a lever either side of the nut (so you can actually apply a rotational force rather than yanking the whole tap in one direction) would fit the bill. It would need to be a really nice tight fit as well to avoid rounding off all the corners.
Any suggestions very gratefully recieved..
James
