Basin wrenches are much too bulky for most tap backnuts.

Backnut box spanner available from plumbers merchants is the tool you need.

You may still need the adjustable wrench to dis/connect the tap connector
though.

I need to remove a wash basin tap as it is leaking water around the body
when the basin is rinsed down. I want to seal it properly.

The nut is deep up inside the china and I need a spanner.

I have looked at this on the Screwfix site but wondered if it might be too
bulky to properly get onto the back-nut.

What do you think - is there a more slender one available or am I worrying
unnecessarily?
