Lucky it wasn't an ikea special where nothing is standard size.

So is it a worthwhile tool for those times you get in a fix, or is it a DIY thing that only works when you're not a plumber and the reason you can't get it undone is just that you don't have any strength or proper set of ring spanners or similar, and then breaks when the tap is REALLY stuck?

I.e. any good for professionals or not?

Can you justify the cost of purchase and how often would you use them ? Been doing this job since the seventies & never needed anything like this

 

[Dotty]

I've got one. User it half a dozen times now.

Worth its weight.

It's the eastern idea of using the taps strength against itself that sold me.

Use your opponent's strength against himself, grasshopper...

how long you've not been using one really is no argument against whether it might be useful to use one.

Could someone invent something similar for removing bath taps from old enamel baths.
My angle grinder is prone to cause collateral damage.
