This review is from: Ridgid 66807 Faucet and Sink Installer Model 2006 (Tools & Home Improvement)

I work in apartment maintenance. After struggling, many times, to remove the damn nuts that hold the sinks in place I decided to try this toy out. I figured with all the modern technology and computer design these days, maybe Ridgid had come up with a miracle tool for installing/uninstalling sinks. Sadly, this is not the case. The most prominent issue so far is the length of the tool. If the sinks water lines aren't perfectly straight or if there is something in the way of the tool such as a garbage disposal, then forget about it, totally useless tool. If you're lucky enough to have perfectly straight water lines and a lot of open space under the sink, then the next issue is not stripping the tabs off the plastic nuts. I tried many times to slip this tool onto those plastic nuts and even if I got it on, either the nuts tabs would bend/strip or break off completely or the tool itself will bend and slip off. You see, since there is an open slot,to allow it to slip over the water lines, it also bends if you apply even a small amount of force. Using it to turn off the water supply shut off valves is more cumbersome than just using channel locks. Normally, I'm a big fan of Ridgid tools but this one falls short in so many areas, it's just not worth it IMO.

It doesn't work if you have a one hole faucet. The connectors bunched up just don't fit in the tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite hand tools, February 12, 2012

This review is from: Ridgid 66807 Faucet and Sink Installer Model 2006 (Tools & Home Improvement)

I own over 50 rental units and when I'm without a helper (which is often) I do most of the maintenance myself. I use lower priced faucets because tenants abuse them and they are easy to change during turnover.

This tool works great and is one of my favorite hand tools. It's true that this won't help much with single hole faucets. The 2 or 3 hole ones with a big plastic nut on each side is what this thing is made for. I've given this as gifts to several people and when I misplaced mine a couple weeks ago I bought another instead of changing the faucet without it.
