Abstract: An angle stop wrench with an open first end sized for holding a plumbing component during an installation procedure. A side opening of a different size from the open first end is also included in the angle stop wrench for holding a plumbing component during the installation procedure. Finally, a hook end portion for holding and aligning a plumbing component during the installation procedure is also provided, where the hook portion is formed on an end portion spaced from the open first end portion. The angle stop wrench may be secured for storage within the handle of a second tool useful in the installation procedure.

Abstract: A one piece hand tool is provided for cleaning and chasing water faucet threads. The hand tool has an engagement end and an operating end spaced along a central tool axis. Intermediate the engagement end and operating end, an external surface is provided with an overall hexagonal configuration. The engagement end is open for accessing an internal threaded surface for engagement with water faucet threads to be cleaned. Four equally spaced vertical grooves parallel with the central tool axis are provided in the internal threaded surface of the hand tool and disrupt the internal threaded surface to contain debris during operation of the tool. The internal threaded surface has sharp leading and trailing edges for cleaning and chasing the water faucet threads during engagement and disengagement with the hand tool.

Abstract: A drain removal tool with a central opening aligned along a central tool axis, a holding section with a hex head for applying torque to the tool, and an engagement section including elongate sharp ridges or teeth extending in a helical pattern from an external surface of the engagement section from the tool for engagement with the drain to be removed. Each elongate sharp ridge has one flat face and a ramp face. Each flat face is aligned along a radius extending outwardly from the central tool axis. The ridges are spaced such that the distance between each flat face is approximately 6 degrees. Each helical ridge is a left hand helical serration on a 15 degree pitch with respect to the central axis of the central opening. The holding section includes a hex head configuration. The central opening in the holding section has a hex configuration.
