I like to use the basin waste washer kit to avoid the need for plumbers mate or mastic. But it is hard to tighten the nut far enough to squash the donut washer without this box spanner to provide the required grip and torque. Tookabout 10 minutes to fit once I had this in my hands. I also bought a brass washer and the spanner fit perfectly. It was a bit small for the original plastic washer though. It is a little on the heavy side but well made and great to have in the toolbox.

With the box spanner being to small and time pressing to install 3 basin wastes by the weekend I had to resort to filing all the insides of the box spanner and outsides of the 3 basin waste nuts. This enabled me to get the spanner on the nut. The spanner was required due to the limited access to the nut and need to compress the rubber seal of the base mate ensuring a leak free basin waste. I did request comments or refund form the supplier but because I had used the spanner/ filed it, they were not interested

This is a box spanner that has one end for 50mm A/F nuts and the other end for 46mm A/F nuts. That's what it does. Those reviewers complaining that it's too small are clearly not aware that it's designed to fit nuts that are either 50mm or 46mm across the flats. A BRASS backnut for a 32mm waste is usually 46 or 50mm across flats, and this is perfect for them. If you have a PLASTIC backnut it is likely to be bigger than 50mm A/F (the one I had was 51.9mm A/F). I suspect that manufacturers make the plastic backnuts a bit chunkier to give them strength, so if you have a plastic backnut you do have to file it down a bit to get it to fit the box spanner before fitting it. Takes about 2 mins to do - file the plastic nut, not the box spanner... Inconvenient, but it's not the box spanner's fault! The other isue you may encounter is that some plastic backnuts which ARE 50mm A/F are not hexagonal, they are octagonal and even though 50mm A/F they obviously will not fit this box spanner which is made for hexagonal nuts.Read full review

This tool was a tremendous boon when I had to take out the waste plug. In a basin. The tool was made of heavyweight metal, not a toy. Value for money as the 50mm nut was determined not to be moved. The Monument Tool soon sorted a good result for me. Service good, delivery also. Best £9 ever spent.

Bit disappointed really, listed as waste nut spanner but! as yet will not fit any nut that it has been tried on, to date 5... 1.1/4" wastes, 46mm end is to big for all 5, in fairness might fit older wastes but manufacturers seem to be producing cheaper items and reducing the size of the nuts...thought it would fit one basin waste but spanner was to big to fit in space so ground off the corners (which stopped me returning it) and then found it was still to big and just went round on the nut...50mm end might be useful but unsure, still a good spanner and addition to a tool kit...but needs thinking about before buying...DA,
