I like the spring loaded type. The last one pictured is only for the plastic nuts on the newer faucets.
I like model 1017: extendable, spring-loaded jaw that opens on its own to grab the nut, secure grip action.
1017... no worries...
I have the 342 also... gotta warrent the expense though...
now I gotta go find the 2001...
thanks...

WOW!!! What a Ride!

Thanks. The last three basin related fittings I did had those large plastic nuts. Would the 1017 help with that? The 2001 looks useful too. I guess it is a matter of how much one wants to shell out in tools.
that 2001 looks like the deal for the plastic nuts...
sinks
toilet supplies
seat covers...

As any woodworker/carpenter/construction guy knows. You can't use "do I need it?" as a criteria for buying a new tool. Whether or not you'll even ever use it is besides the point! For all you confused people out there, I will give you the listed reasons for buying a new tool straight from "The Man Bible" Chapter 35 Section 72 Subsection D Paragraph 23 states:
You simply buy a new tool because:
a) It's there
b) You can
I hope this has cleared up any questions any of you may have for buying new tools,

Please be informed that an addition has been to Para 24 Subsection D:
"c) You might just need it one of these days, and then you'll be glad you already have it."
This addition has been made just in case there were any remaining doubts after reading a) and b).
this better...

Better. Well edited.
you missed one
c) you're wife/girlfriend/significant other said "No"
Now that's a special clause because another rule say's you NEVER ask them for permission, but if you do, their answer is immediately overridden by above clause.
asking was never a consideration..

as it shouldn't be.
but some men have a temporary weakness/lapse, so we cover it just in case.
...ask for permission?..not if I can help it. .......for forgiveness?...maybe, sometimes.
Ever seriously check out the bathroom/powder room cabinets at home? Did they ask if they could get 'that' stuff? I don't think so. And check out the price stickers on some of that. Amazing what beauty/vanity can cost.
A tool, almost any tool, will eventually earn its keep.
bum...two wrongs don't make a right, but... three lefts do... :)
getting forgiven is definitly easier than getting permission...

personaly I've never asked for permission and if my wife new about half the tools i've bought she'd have a stroke, the same could be said, as you mentioned, about her make up, shoes, clothes etc.
But somewhere, sometime, some fool is going to go and ask his wife if he can buy something, so we must have a rule to over-ride her almost definate "no"
Once upon a time I started to collect tools, and over the years the collection gradually expanded. Nobody was any the wiser. One day, at a gathering, I said to somebody "... I've probably got $xx,xxx in tools in my shop." As it turned out, this happened to be heard, and awakened an interest in what until then had been unnoticed. In retrospect, silence would have been wise. I must also report that acquisitions of tools continued unabated and every body, for the most part, did live happily after all.
What's nice about that square base is you can put your crescent wrench on it and get any leverage you need.
I use it on real stubborn city meter turn on valves down in the box, makes it pretty easy to get it to turn.
