Basin Wrench Reviews

If you need a basin wrench to fix up a couple of faucets around the house, then this is the kind of product you want to buy. It's a little over 10 bucks and will do exactly what you need it for - then sit quiet in a corner of your tool box until you come up against another awkward nut located in an equally awkward position.

It's manufacture is a solid steel, it's 11" long - so the right length for crawling around beneath the basin  - and the jaws and grip are good enough to deal with anything up to 1 inch square and hex nuts. Good quality overall, does the job - one for home users.

This is the best selling adjustable basin wrench and one for pro users. It will adjust from 10" up to 17" - plenty of reach in tight spaces. You don't lose any function when you extend it and the grip you get on the nuts is solid and reliable.

The jaws are spring loaded and ratcheting, which makes an awkward job easier than it could be and you know that you're getting the strength you need for the torque due to the forged alloy steel manufacture. Not the cheapest is basin wrenches but certainly one of the best - and the size range it will deal with is from 1 1/4" up to 2 1/2" in diameter.

This is a large basin wrench - capable of handling anything from 1" up to 3" in size. All nuts are not equal and if you've got some large nuts to work on, this is the one for the job. It's made from a solid steel shank, with an adjustable head and it's long enough to give enough reach in confined places.

It's an inexpensive hand tool for what it is - you are usually looking at around the 40 bucks mark for something that can deal with larger faucet nuts, so if you're needing something that will tackle the bigger stuff, this is the one to go for. Durable, relatively easy to work with - and it will get the job done, no questions.

This is a cheap basin wrench - good quality, stands at 11" so long enough to get into most tight spaces and with a set of jaws that will help you repair or replace a basin or the faucets without too much hassle.

It's a sturdy manufacture, coated to resist rust, solid steel with a spring loaded swiveling jaw, a sure grip once it's locked on and no issues once you start applying the torque. It comes with a lifetime guarantee, which is pretty impressive for the price tag, and it's one to buy if you need to deal with mid range nuts - and you want to spend less rather than more.

Another cheap adjustable basin wrench that claims to be a pro use hand tool. Not sure about whether it will stand up to daily use from a plumber's perspective but - it did handle a set of 1 1/4" nuts that stubbornly refused to shift without any complaints.

The jaws are spring loaded and they automatically reset every time you give it another turn. It's 12" long, so plenty of reach in a tight spot and the manufacture is solid enough - forged rust-resistant steel. Good for work around the home, handy, performs well and up to a nice standard in relation to the price tag.
