Ridgid 57003 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Ridgid 57003 EZ Change wrench fit the plastic tab nuts on a new kitchen faucet?
Yes. The slotted section of the Ridgid 57003 EZ Change faucet nut wrench is cut for 2, 3, 4 and 6 tab faucet mounting nuts, which covers the common plastic tab nut styles used on kitchen and lavatory faucets. If your faucet instead uses a single hex or round nut on a single-hole mount, use the cylindrical insert with its 5/8 inch deep welled socket.
2) What size supply line and clamp nuts does the Ridgid 57003 handle?
The cubed insert gives four wrench sizes: 5/8, 3/4, 7/8 and 1 inch. Those cover typical supply line nuts and clamp nuts under a sink, and the same cube section works on stiff shut-off valve stems so you aren't reaching for a second wrench.
3) Can one tool install a sink strainer basket and the faucet, or do I need a separate basket wrench?
The 57003 does both. Its cylindrical insert doubles as a retainer for 3 and 4 slot strainer baskets, holding the basket while you run the locknut, and the slotted end handles the faucet mounting nuts. For strainers with a different crossbar or slot count, you'd still need a dedicated basket wrench.
4) Is there enough room to use this faucet wrench in a cramped sink base cabinet?
That is what it is built for. The EZ Change wrench uses a short body so it can turn in the clearance behind a sink bowl and around trap arms where a basin wrench or standard socket won't swing. The deep welled socket also lets it reach down over a long threaded shank on single-hole mounts.
5) Should I buy the EZ Change faucet nut wrench or a basin wrench for faucet work?
Different jobs. A basin wrench has a long handle and a pivoting jaw for reaching a nut high up behind the bowl on threaded shanks. The Ridgid 57003 is for the plastic and composite tab nuts, 5/8 to 1 inch supply and clamp nuts, and strainer baskets, and its short body is meant for close quarters rather than long reach. Shops doing faucet changeouts usually carry both.
6) How heavy is the Ridgid 57003, and is it practical to keep in a service van tool bag?
It weighs 1.41 lb, so a plumber or maintenance tech can carry it in a service bag and have tab nut slots, four wrench sizes and a strainer basket retainer in a single piece instead of three tools.
7) Will this crack on a seized plastic faucet mounting nut?
The slotted and cubed sections use a reinforced body construction intended for hard-to-break fasteners, so it is built for nuts that have set up over years of service. On a nut that is corroded solid to the shank, cutting the shank is still usually the faster call than loading any plastic nut wrench.
8) What is the exact Ridgid part number to order for the EZ Change faucet nut wrench?
Ridgid 57003 is the manufacturer part number, sold as a single tool with no size or finish options to specify.
