Ridgid

The open slot design of the Multipurpose Faucet & Sink Installer allows it to be used over water supply lines, so mounting nuts can be tightened or removed without disconnecting supply lines. Aluminum accessories include a shut-off valve attachment to turn hard-to-reach angle stops without marring the chrome. A hex socket attachment fits 3/4- and 1-inch hex nuts and plastic supply-line nuts, and a strainer basket attachment holds drain units in place while tightening the mounting nut. 888-743-4333. www.ridgid.com.
