hopefully one of you boys has one I could borrow for a quick bit...

I need a gripper or pliers of some sort that would get rid of part of my faucet (I need to take it off and put on an adaptor thing so I can make useage of my dishwasher)

Anyways, I have a set of needle nose pliers, but they are all metal with the grips and would wreck the hell outta the part i'm trying to get off...and I'm trying to keep things happy for when and if i ever move out.

much love! and I will pay in my standard currency of cookies when I get things settled out ;)

I love it when people figure it out themselves, best education available because you will never forget and there is a feeling of accomplishment.

...and surprisingly through this entire thread "duct tape" was not mentioned once
