make sure you hold the tap tho
 
I thought gasman was a heating technician, not a leaky lad, I try to sreer clear of old taps n plumbing myself.

i'm going to buy one. does anyoe know of a shed/scrufix type affair that stocks them or is it random online stockists only?
 
Did a few jobs with my friend who's a plumber / gas man

Went to put tap revivers on, stuck fast, pulled out the old tool (!) & he was very impressed. In & out 15 mins.
