    That Fix It Guy I been sharing the heck out of your videos brother. Your channel should be much bigger you put out great content that people can actually use. I see some of these channels that put out garbage useless content that have hundreds of thousands subscribers. I hope it takes off for you and grows. You deserve it.

    Man I wish I saw this video earlier. I do a lot of diy jobs around the house but never heard of a basin wrench before. I had to change some faucets in our bathroom the vanity is super tight no room at all. I ended up cutting down a pair of cheap Channel locks to get the job done (we’re still in lockdown 🙄) I figured there had to be a better way . Thanks for the video I’ve got one basin wrench on order 👍

    @@ThatFixItGuy Without a photo to show you, I can't get that hook shape to go around the nut. The space is tight and the hoses are in the way. Even if I disconnected the hose, the basin wrench won't fit and grip the nut. It's a brass 2 inch wide nut. I've never seen a nut like this before. My faucet dd cost me $1000 so it must be european like BMW's where every part is different from USA. Anyway, I've decided to hire a plumber and purchase a new basic stainless steel faucet that doesn't cost $1000. He wants me to purchase Kohler. I assume its the favorite of plumbers and easy to install. The plumber tells me to buy a new faucet and he will do hos best to fix my existing faucet/ If he can fix it, then I can return the new faucet. In not, then he can install the new faucet immediately.

He said the RIGID might not work since the nut is 2 inches, but I did watch a video where there is an adapted included that could work. If it doesn't work, I'll move forward with a Plumber.
