tools
I've assembled a set of swings, and am trying to tighten the nuts at the top. The trouble is that they are embedded deep inside a circular hole and I can't get to them with a regular spanner.
What kind of tool should I be using? I had a good look in my local hardware store and couldn't see anything useful.
Here's a (dreadful) diagram of what I mean.
Two things unbelievable about my answer.
I think I have the same seat, so here we go...
Excuse the glare, but this is what holds my seat down.
Now take the top half of the clips and twist them counter-clockwise. The picture shows them all the way turned. Now the hard part...
You might have to work at this but you give it some wiggles and it pulls straight up.
Hopefully this is what you have and hopefully the artistic work I did does not go in vain. Taking pictures of toilets or loo's or any device of this nature just does not do anything for me. I hope they don't pull my man card, then I have to get my you know whats out of my wife's purse.
Looking at the diagram, I believe you want a basin wrench. It's designed exactly for these bolts in these tight conditions. And the next time you go to replace a sink, you'll be glad to already own one. That said, I've never heard of, nor seen a jaw dropper plumbing wrench, so I was hoping that someone with more plumbing experience would chime in.
