As you can imagine, this device fits around a pipe to grab difficult-to-turn-in-tight-places plastic mounting nuts on facuets and such.
I feel stupid. I’ve fought with these before, and as much as I’ve talked to RIDGID over the last month, I still didn’t know about these. At $20 street, I’ll damn well have one before I install my next faucet.

To save a few coin, I made a similar tool from a length of 1-1/4 PVC plastic pipe with a notch cut to fit the wings of the plastic wingnut. It worked fine for both removal and reinstallation of the wingnuts.
