Compact TapSplitter tool for releasing tap head nuts to repair dripping and stuck taps Product Description
Description: The major cause of problems when fixing a tap is a seized tap head nut.
Brute force applied with a spanner to undo the nut can cause the tap to spin resulting in damage to the ceramic ware and water pipe joints.
The solution? It's as easy as ABD with our unique tap tool kit - and absolutely safe.
Using our TapSplitter to safely and easily undo the tap head nut on pillar and bib taps allows easy access to the washer or spindle for replacement and to the tap seat for regrinding to stop leaks, reduce stiffness, turn off and on correctly and fix other tap problems. The TapSpanner and 4 inserts give 5 sizes to grip the vast majority of tap head nuts in use. For sizes other than 17mm, 17.5mm, 19mm, & 22mm please contact us.
The pressure created by this tool will undo even the most jammed tap head nut, and as the pull is completely internal to the tap and nut is guaranteed not to damage the pipe fittings or the basin, sink or bath.
Features:
- Safely release the head nut on pillar and bib taps in basins, baths or sinks with very little effort
- Fits together compactly for storage. Designed for the one job which it does brilliantly - tap repair
- No risk of causing basins, baths or sinks to crack or causing pipe connections to leak
- Guaranteed to safely apply all the indirect force needed to undo a tap head however tight or seized
- 4 inserts (17mm, 17.5mm, 19mm, & 22mm) to fit most pillar and bib tap head nut sizes
Price: £20.28

Product Review: Does exactly what it says on the, er, instruction leaflet!!! Very good indeed!!!
Had two tap glands to change on upstairs sink; I'm not a plumber, but I do like to have a go at stuff.. First one, using a combination of numerous medium-sized tools, application of heat, mild use of hammer, mild swearing, eventually sorted. Second one - applied all above, wouldn't budge. Tried larger tools, more heat, more hammer and much more swearing - still wouldn't budge. Now I really,really didn't want to change the whole tap so turned to every amateur plumber's friend, the internet. I found this little gadget on Youtube, twenty-odd quid, thought I'd give it a go.
Arrived in a couple of days; first impressions were not great, looks a little too basic and small, instructions also basic but OK. Waited until after the weekend, when I had the house to myself, just in case things got serious and/or I needed to call in a professional (got three on my street!) (Why didn't I think of that before!!?). 10 minutes of fretting and fiddling around, setting it up properly, then 20...
