Ridge Tool Co 57003 Ez Change Faucet Tool

Product Description

The RIDGE TOOL CO 57003 is a multi-function faucet installation tool designed to handle the most common tasks a plumber encounters when servicing or replacing faucets and sink strainers. The short-body design clears tight under-sink spaces where standard tools cannot reach. A unique cubed insert accommodates a variety of common nut sizes, and the 5/8-inch deep-welled socket handles single-hole faucet mountings. This single tool replaces several specialty hand tools, reducing the time spent switching between instruments on a standard faucet call.

The 57003 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing work. It functions as a wrench for shut-off valves, a retainer for 3-slot and 4-slot strainer baskets, and a drive for 2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-tab mounting nuts commonly found on faucet bodies and sink strainers. Licensed plumbers and service techs will find it useful during new installations and fixture replacements in kitchens and bathrooms where under-sink clearance is limited.
