2. A multi-purpose basin wrench can operate the same method as a traditional basin wrench, but they’re better to use for plastic wingnuts that are being utilized in more recent faucets.

Richard demonstrated a range of wrenches that are all designed to work with the connections around faucets and toilets. For jobs in the basement or other more complicated plumbing jobs, other tools will be needed.
The basin wrenches Richard showed, both the basic version and the one with the light, are offered at most house centers.
The interchangeable plastic tab/brass connection basin wrench Richard spoke about is the EZ Modification Faucet Tool, and the other wrench Richard showed is the 2-in-1 One Stop Plumbing’s Wrench. Both of these are manufactured by Ridgid (https://www.ridgid.com/).
