Faucet and Sink Installation Tool

[JIMMIEM]

I have to work on a Rohl kitchen faucet and need a Faucet and Sink Installation Tool. Is there a 'one size fits all' tool or do I need one for the specific faucet? I'm not sure of the correct name of the nut types but they are plastic, about an inch or so long and have the raised 'ribs'. I haven't found any specs on the Rohl web site.

Ridgid makes a tool that fits many of the common faucet nuts.

Thank You. I was in Home Depot today and saw the Ridgid tool, about $20.00. I briefly read the package and yes it seems to do lots of stuff. I'll see if Rohl tech support can supply some specs and compare them to the Ridgid tool specs.

There are two things you can use (basin wrench) it's been used
forever something I just bought (bAsin buddy)it goes on the end of
a 3/8 socket basin buddy is on amazon it's much easier
to use then a basin wrench if you don't do it all the time

I have a basin wrench which seems like a one trick pony compared to the Basin Buddy.

I have the ridgid tool. Barely use it. More suited for 2 handle basin faucets. I use my deep sockets or 6” pipe wrench on most faucets
