About the Basin Wrench

Invented by plumber Arthur Andree in 1920, this wrench enables plumbers to reach otherwise inaccessible nuts in the tight spaces under sinks. Its single jaw applies torque in only one direction, but because the jaw head pivots, the tool can both loosen and tighten.

Richard installed a Pfister Pasadena faucet in a brushed nickel finish. The faucet also came with a stopper, drain pipe, and an installation tool to do all the work. The other tools and materials Richard used to remove the old faucet and install the new one, including the wrenches and the plumber’s putty, can be found at home centers and plumbing supply houses.
