Tap insert removal tool.

[Millsy 82]

I know this has come up loads before tried searching for it but I never get on with searching.

What is the name of the tap insert removal tool? I have had 2 taps beat me in the past couple of weeks and would like to give one a try.

Don't worry found it.

I was after an easy tap splitter.

Back nut spanner on the spout, grips locked on the works and a lever between the two. Same in principal to the easy tap splitter.
I'd get one to be fair but I thinks it's way over-priced.

I've always used a 1/2" ratchet spanner, deep socket set and a basin box spanner on spout. Usually does trick. I always find the heads harder to get off than the inserts

I bought one of the ABD Tap Splitter kits a couple of month back from ebay for £25. I did not bother buying the expensive set in the case. I have used it half a dozen times and it really is a great tool. If I lost it I would certainly replace it.

Think thats the one.

That's the thing.

It's expensive for what it is but if it saves me taking chunks out of my fingers I will be happy.

I use the wheel brace off the van, fits the majority of 1/2 inch tap cartridges

Got a lot of poor reviews. Flimsy tool and not worth having for the diyer let alone the professional (apparently).
