Some of the popular hand tools offered by HAUTMEC include the HAUTMEC Basin Wrench, HAUTMEC Plumbing Spanners, HAUTMEC Adjustable Wrench, HAUTMEC Plumbing Keys, and HAUTMEC Pipe Cutters. These tools are designed to help DIY homeowners, home improvement enthusiasts, and professionals easily access tight spaces and effectively grip hard-to-reach sink nuts that cannot be reached with other implements.

To provide useful tips for users, it is recommended to always turn the wrench in the direction towards the open jaws for a better grip and force. For tightening, turn the wrench clockwise, and for loosening and removing the nut, turn it counterclockwise. Additional leverage can be obtained by using an adjustable wrench, and placing a small piece of sandpaper between the stubborn nut and the spring-loaded jaw of the basin wrench can provide more friction to help loosen the nut.

In case the basin wrench struggles to grip and turn plastic nuts, it is important to note that plastic nuts can suffer from corrosion and age, making them prone to breakage if mishandled. To address this issue, penetrating oil can be utilized for stubborn nuts in the sink basin. If the mounting nut is out of reach for the basin wrench head, a telescopic basin wrench with a extendable shaft can provide the necessary long reach.

The Basin Wrench is an essential plumbing tool for tight spaces, specifically designed to tighten and remove mounting nuts of kitchen or bathroom sink faucets located underneath the sink basin. It features spring-loaded self-adjusting gripping jaws that can accommodate faucet nuts ranging from 3/8'' to 1-1/4''. The 180° rotating head ensures it remains perpendicular to the 11in long T-bar handle during use.

To use the Basin Wrench, the wrench head should be adjusted by pivoting it to a perpendicular (90-degree angle) position to the shaft. The claw should then be clamped onto the mounting nut beneath the faucet. To tighten the nut, turn the wrench clockwise, and to loosen and remove the nut, turn it counterclockwise.

To ensure a secure grip on the nut, the ridged jaws of the claw should tightly grip the notches or edges of the nut. By using both hands on the T-bar or sliding the bar to one side and levering it with one hand, the Basin Wrench can be easily turned for effective nut removal.

Some tips for using the Basin Wrench include using a piece of sandpaper between the stubborn nut and the jaw to prevent slipping. Additionally, a pipe or the back end of an adjustable wrench can be used to increase leverage on the T-bar for easier handling.

Overall, HAUTMEC offers a range of high-quality hand tools designed to facilitate efficient plumbing work in tight spaces. By providing tools with innovative features and useful tips, HAUTMEC ensures a smooth and effective user experience.
