Plumbers, what tool?

[marlinspike]

Among all my automotive tools, I can't seem to find a suitable one, so I come to you, plumbers. I need to remove the hot water faucet valve from my bathroom sink. Looks like I need something to turn a 29mm nut that is in close quarts and deeply set (screws against the underside of the basin). I'm sure there's some perfect tool for the job that plumbers have...what is it?

Basin wrench. Like this: http://www.lowes.com/pd_331886-943-03811.STC3_0__?productId=3220009&Ntt=basin+wrench&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dbasin%2Bwrench&facetInfo=

I prefer this one because I can use socket extensions with it: http://www.lowes.com/pd_331785-943-...h&pl=1&currentURL=?Ntt=basin+wrench&facetInfo=

Surprisingly I have found an occasional automotive use for these.

Am not a plumber but Dad taught me some things.

We had one of those at home growing up. I never knew what it was for though lol.

These from Ridgid are extendable for deeper basins and the return spring on the jaw has more tension. They ALL ****.....but these **** a little bit less.

Harbor Freight sells the extendable model.

The basin wrenches work in nearly all cases. I have found plumber's sockets fit most of the nuts on kitchen faucets.
