About This Product

Whether you're a professional plumber or a working homeowner, the RIDGID EZ Change Plumbing Wrench Faucet Installation and Removal Tool is a valuable addition to any toolbox. This multifunctional plumbing tool is ideal for under-sink faucet installation and removal and is compatible with common faucets, shut-off valves, supply lines, and basket strainers. The six-sided cubed wrench insert works on 5/8-inch, 3/4-inch, 7/8-inch, 15/16-inch, and 1-inch nuts and is ideal for use with supply lines, clamp nuts, and turning angle stops without marring chrome finishes. The cylindrical insert with a 5/8-inch deep-welled socket end accommodates most single-hole faucet mountings and features a pronged retainer end that holds 3 or 4-slot strainer baskets in place while removing or installing the strainer nut. Additionally, the hole on the side of the cylindrical insert fits screwdrivers for extra leverage when breaking tight nuts loose. The wrench's notched end handle accommodates most common 2, 3, 4, and 6-tab basin mounting nuts, while the handle's open slot clears supply lines to loosen or attach. Its convenient handheld size clears tight spaces under sinks, while its reinforced plastic body and lightweight aluminum inserts that fit inside the handle provide long-lasting durability and use. RIDGID - Built For Those Who Know.

    I'm interested in catalog #57003, but when I click the link to retailers to purchase I find they are selling catalog #56988. Why, and what is the difference?
    ByFeb 15, 2026

    Answer This Question

    The #57003 and #56988 are the same tool. The catalog number is different because of the packaging for store sale versus the sale in distribution.

            Will this tool work for tightening toilet tank to bowl nuts? The access to the nut is in tight space with a porcelain lip around the bolt.
            ByNov 15, 2025
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hi JMMB, The EZ Change is not specifically marketed for toilet tank - to - bowl nuts. It works on common nut sizes (5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 15/16", and 1") However, toilet tank-to-bowl nuts are usually larger and often require a deep socket or a specialized wrench because they sit in tight spaces and may have unique shapes. The EZ Change tool is not specifically marketed for toilet tank-to-bowl nuts, and its size range (up to 1") might be too small for some tank bolts, which can exceed that diameter. If your nuts are within 1" and accessible, it might work, but for stubborn or oversized nuts, a basin wrench or a dedicated toilet wrench would be more reliable.

                    I replaced all faucets in sinks and tubs recently and it went quicker than usual with this tool. It's definitely handy for reaching up under and getting to plastic and metal nuts and getting the leverage needed to loosen and tighten. Easier than getting a wrench up in the tight spaces. Great for tightening down a tub drain shoe without marring the finish. Worth it.

                    Great multipurpose tool for plumbing!
                    I bought this tool to change my faucet to a sensor version. It worked to remove the nuts and made it possible to change it quickly and easily. I appreciate that it is a multi-use tool and will keep it in my toolbox for future plumbing projects!

                      Bulky and would not work with a single hole kitchen faucet
                      I've worked on enough plumbing at home to see how this tool could be valuable. I bought it for snugging up a single hole kitchen faucet, thought it would work better than the cheesy plastic thin wall socket wrench that came with the faucet. However, the 15/16" head of this wrench is too bulky and couldn't slip over the nut with the water lines and spray hose all in that location. See the photo. Had to make due with the cheesy plastic socket wrench. While I'm sure Home Depot would have let me return this tool, I put it in a bottom drawer of my tool box, where all the other specialty items are stored. It will save the day, eventually.

                        Bought in a pinch because the work area was very small and tight. Super useful tool. Very solid design and easy to use! Worth the price.

                          Very good tool
                          I bought this tool to help get a mounting nut loose that was on over 30 years. The only thing I would change is to add a 3/8 ratchet hoe to the square end of the the tool. Have to get a big pair of vise grips so I can get enough leverage to break it loose. If there was a 3/8 drive in the Square in, I could’ve used it. Thank you

                            My Rigid does more than my plumbers tool similar to this does.
                            I absolutely love this tool. I am by far not a plumber, however with this tool I put a new faucet on a bathroom sink like a pro!

                            Not for 1”
                            This does not fit a 1” nut as advertised. It’s bigger than 1” .
