Tap insert removal tool.

[Pipes Plumbing]

I use a bit of 35mm copper with a piece of old innertube taped inside it over the spout, and a decent deep hex socket on the headgear with a bar on it. Easy peasy and no extra tools to carry / lose...

proper box spanner or deep socket and what ever tickles your fancy to grip the spout, beats any diy gismo

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.

Its like £20 quid!!!? How much cheaper do you want it lol? Should pay for itself by 1 job

l have a set but only bother to use it if the insert is really stick in there & think I might damage the spout on a nice tap.

Looks good to the customer too; which is important if you want good reviews and word of mouth
referrals as, IMHO, it shows you're thinking about taking care of their expensive or not so tap body.

Plus you can charge more if you get a fancy looking tool in...

Tool looks like something worth having for the odd occasion you need it I think ill be getting one

on a off topic not that DIY doctor, (youtube videos channel)
they've got videos on showing how to DIY smoke test your flue,

There's one on eBay @ 24quid + offers but it doesn't show a case, but there's another exact same @ 38 quid but it has a proper case which is too dear prob get it cheaper but way better with the case, I emailed the 24 one to see if comes with case, but don't think it does just 2 red rubber bands
