What tool/method to use for tightening this faucet...

[jgerrish]

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help as I'm looking for a good way to tighten the Kohler faucet on this bathroom sink (Picture attached). It's a 3 post faucet setup and I can't (for the love of God) get any tool around this faucet nut to tighten it snug enough to not loosen up when grabbing/bumping/washing the faucet.

Please help! Thank you very much.

Remove the pop up rod linkage and tighten with a basin wrench.

If the hot/cold valves are loose, tighten with a basin wrench.

Ah... So there is a specialty tool for this. Fantastic. Will get one of these ASAP and give it a try.
Thanks so much!!!

Plan on a box of band-aids as well. You may bust some knuckles.

Ridgid makes a cute multi tool for faucets N stuff.

I use and like it. I can get tremendous torque out of it with not much effort. I was surprised.

Several types available
