FAQs

What is the primary use of the Amtech basin wrench?

The primary use is for sink tap repairs and other plumbing tasks, particularly where access is limited.

What is the benefit of the swivel head?

The swivel head allows the wrench to access and grip fittings in hard-to-reach or confined spaces.

How do I adjust the jaws?

The jaws are adjusted to fit the nut or bolt size. Ensure the jaws fit snugly.

What is the length of the wrench?

The wrench is 16 inches (400mm) long.

What should I do if the wrench starts to rust?

Clean the rust with a wire brush or fine steel wool, then apply a rust inhibitor or lubricant.

Can I use this wrench on different types of pipes?

This wrench is designed for nuts and bolts, not for direct use on pipes. It's suitable for connecting fittings.

Troubleshooting

Jaws won't grip the fitting securely.

Ensure the jaws are adjusted correctly to fit the size of the nut or bolt. Check the spring mechanism to make sure it is functioning properly.

Wrench is difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.

Adjust the swivel head to optimize access to the fitting. Try repositioning yourself to get a better angle of attack.

The tommy bar slips.

Ensure the tommy bar is properly inserted and that you are applying pressure in the correct direction. Use gloves for better grip.
