Time to get both!  Going to replace some old taps.

If you nearby can just come take from me.

Success! Thanks to Mkl22 advice and this $3.90 pipe wrench. 😁

Total cost less than $50 and less than 10 mins.

I had to replace the tap again, bcuz this plastic locknut broke. It's 27mm

 

But my line is more complicated, so I needed more tools. I used open wrench 21mm, 23mm, 24mm, 27mm.

 

This tool is very useful for the undersink tap.

Yes, very useful and cheap, Just look for the cheapest seller for 8-in-1 tool. They are all the same.

Is this all I need for a kitchen mixer tap?

Plumber's tape? 

Some silicon standby? 

I also label the hot and cold pipes in case I mess up the two..

Bought a 24-27 box spanner from the DIY shop. They don't have the plastic multi-tool version.

It really depends on the clearance and access underneath...mine is a tight space with a double bowl and I have no vertical wrench...What I did was...use an open end spanner large enough to hold the nut in its position at an angle underneath the faucet...turn the entire faucet assembly in counter direction to loosen the lock position...i tink I can earn up to 10k also...😁

I have to analyse it first. Should have just changed this mixer when i moved in. zzz.

Buy from Shopee...maybe try a local seller.

You might need a couple of adjustable spanners more, depending on the work.

Not the best quality, but cheap and does the job, hopefully.

I got 2 adjustable wrenches. 1 short one, 1 big one. With the box spanner hopefully sufficient. Though i dunno how tight the space is back there. 

It's kitchen tap mixer, very marfan not to have it usable, not like toilet mixer.

So want to have minimal downtime.

On hindsight...i shouldn't have agreed to the double sink...have been trying to sell the large single sink idea to my wife for years...always make a detour to that section at ikea...😂

I have the red multi tool. Quite useless as it flexs and is too thick for most jobs. 

You made the right choice.
