    Thankyou. Quoted $400 to change 4 washers by a plumber. This way it will only cost me the tools and washers.. I am so grateful for this basic step by step video and as a single person it has helped my bank account. Once again Thankyou

    The tool used is called a Tube Socket Spanner. Available in a range of shapes and sizes from local Hardware Stores. Common shapes are Hex or Square. Typical sizes for taps range from 15mm to 25mm. Most modern taps use Metric sizes. Older taps used Imperial sizes.Always confirm the correct shape and size before using the tool otherwise fittings can be damaged. Always rotate the fitting in the correct direction. Normally, Anti-clockwise to loosen. Clockwise to tighten. But always check. Never apply too much force. If the fitting seems to be very tight or stuck, apply a rust remover like WD-40 or CRC, wait a few hours, and then try to remove it. If it won't budge, try using a larger lever with the tool. If it still won't move call a Professional. A broken fitting in-situ is very difficult to fix and will usually require a plumber to repair the damage.

    Yes, replacing the washer is the first thing to try if your shower drips after turning it off, or if you have to turn the tap off very tight to stop water from dripping.

    It is called a tube or box spanner in Australia. The size for my laundry tub taps was 19mm from memory. They are also useful for jobs such as removing kitchen mixer taps, around 12mm.

    It's a pressed steel box wrench or tubular wrench, the name varies depending on what part of the world you live in. A cheap version of a tube socket or deep socket. The holes negate the need for the square drive on a ratchet or similar.
