Tool means for use on the nuts mounted beneath a water basin on the water inlet pipes of a water faucet that hold the water faucet to the water basin, said tool means comprising:
- a. wrench means for closely fitting around one of said nuts holding the water faucet to the water basin, said wrench means including a body member having a first end and a second end and having a longitudinal aperture completely therethrough, the portion of said longitudinal aperture adjacent said first end of said body member having a cross-sectional shape substantially identical to the cross-sectional shape of a first standard size of said nuts holding the water faucet to the water basin;
- b. securing means for securing said wrench means to one of said nuts holding the water faucet to the water basin, said securing means including a rod member for extending through said longitudinal aperture of said body member of said wrench means and through one of said nuts holding the water faucet to the water basin, said rod member having a first end and second end, at least said first end of said rod member being threaded, said securing means including a plate member fixedly attached to said second end of said rod member, said plate member being of a shape so as to prevent said wrench means from passing thereover, said securing means including a nut member having a threaded aperture therethrough for coacting with said threaded first end of said rod member in a manner to clamp said wrench means about one of said nuts holding the water faucet to the water basin and against the underneath side of the water basin;
- and
- c. means for transmitting torque between said rod member of said securing means and said wrench means.
The combination with a water faucet of the type having nuts mounted on the water inlet pipes thereof beneath a water basin for holding the water faucet to the water basin, of tool means for removing the nuts from the water inlet pipes, said tool means comprising:
- a. wrench means closely fitting around one of said nuts holding the water faucet to the water basin, said wrench means including a body member having a first end and a second end and having a longitudinal aperture completely therethrough, the portion of said longitudinal aperture adjacent said first end of said body member having a cross-sectional shape substantially identical to the cross-sectional shape of a first standard size of said nuts holding the water faucet to the water basin;
- b. securring means securing said wrench means to one of said nuts holding the water faucet to the water basin, said securing means including a rod member extending through said longitudinal aperture of said body member of said wrench means and through one of the water inlet pipes of the water faucet and through the water basin and through one of said nuts holding the water faucet to the water basin, said rod member having a first end and a second end, at least said first end of said rod member being threaded, said securing means including a plate member fixedly attached to said second end of said rod member, said plate member being of a shape so as to prevent said wrench means from passing thereover, said securing means including a nut member having a threaded aperture therethrough for coacting with said threaded first end of said rod member in a manner to clamp said wrench means about one of said nuts holding the water faucet to the water basin and against the underneath side of the water basin;
- and
- c. means for transmitting torque between said rod member of said securing means and said wrench means.
