Talk:Basin wrench

There are lots of different wrenches that can be called "sink wrenches". You will find this one in tool catalogs as a BASIN WRENCH.

Professional plumbers also call it a BASIN WRENCH. Sink wrenches are a category, that includes this and this and this and this, all of which are wrenches designed specifically for sink plumbing.

Try this experiment: 1) Google images for "sink wrench" - you get a whole lot of different stuff, including about 40% the wrench on this page 2) Google "basin wrench" instead - 90+ percent of the images are of this wrench. Most of the rest are of a different form of the same tool (looks like an orange split pipe).

Therefore, it's called a basin wrench. If you want Wikipedia to have a page for sink wrenches, it should be a category page.

Similarly, there are many kinds of pipe wrench, but only one Stillson wrench. I'll go hit that page too.

Yes, "basin wrench" is the common name for this tool. I renamed the article accordingly. Lambtron (talk) 00:13, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
