Abstract: A tool for cutting and removing a nut from a threaded shank member extending beyond the nut, a particular application being to remove from the depending end portion of the shank of a faucet the nut securing the faucet to a sink. A body is formed with a pair of substantially parallel bores, one of which is threaded along its entire length for attachment to the shank. One portion of the other bore is threaded to receive a bolt, the remaining portion of the other bore is smooth walled to receive a plunger which has a chisel edge at its end nearest the nut. The bolt engages the chisel edge to drive it between an inoperative position and an operative position engaged with the nut at which point continued advancement of the bolt results in breaking and removal of the nut.
