            This sink drain set perfectly matched my original. My only issue is they used scotch tape to bundle some of the items together and I needed to use Goo Gone spray to remove the sticky stuff. I replaced all 6 sinks in my house (2 in the master bedroom, 1 each in other 3 bedrooms, and the powder room).

            Make your own. Worst case scenario.
            If you have a piece of 3/4 copper you can make your own. Use a copper cutter to notch the copper on 2 sides and cut it to size with some sheet metal snips.

              faucet cartridge removal tool - good features-worked
              The cartridge removal tool worked fine. The repair was complicated by first installing the wrong cartridge but when I figured this out, got the right cartridge, I was able to complete the repair without problem.

              Could not have fixed the faucet without this tool.
              After reading a couple other reviews, I had my doubts about this faucet cartridge removal tool. It worked quite easily and quickly. I would not have been able to change the cartridge without this tool. The real question is why I need a special tool to fix a leaky faucet, but that's a manufacturer problem, not a Home Depot problem. The tool worked as advertised, though it did take a little more than a week to have it shipped to my local store.
