Reviving a Tap: Stubborn Tap Head

[Rayleigh]

Hi

I have trouble with reviving a leaky tap. the tap head just wouldn't come off with an adjustable wrench. (It slips off the wrench.) Would a Ring Spanner be of more help?? What are the other things I can try?



Cheers
Ray

a deep socket set might do it
do you have a set of grips or stillsons?

Get your self a good set of pipe/water pump pliers/grips will do the job

Why is there a condom on the end of the spout?!

I have just got a standard pliers which hasn't got much grip at all. What kind of grips should i be getting? water pump pliers or mole grips?
