Pozibite TapSplitter Tool kit for Releasing Even Damaged tap Head Nuts on Dripping or Stuck Pillar and bib taps

After spending several fraught hours trying to free the nut of a tap just so I could do the simple job of changing a washer to stop it leaking I gave up in frustration and ordered a Tapsplitter. Today it took 10 minutes to undo the nut and now I'm used to assembling the device, next time it'll take 1 minute. The tool is well presented in a good quality plastic case with a cut foam interior. The device is well made, works perfectly and will be a useful device for life. I DID have to order a 25mm insert separately to fit my large tap nut but that was OK in the end. EVERY house should have one of these. Being easily able to change tap washers is a boon to civilisation!

Bought this to sort out problem taps at my son's new house. Two cold water sink taps and a hot water bath tap were rigid with age and hard water deposits. They were impossible to turn off completely (unless you were King Kong). New taps are not on the agenda at present,so these old taps needed refurbishment. I tried everything but not a hint of movement in any of them and nuts starting to round off. Just as I thought I'd have to go under the units and replace the plumbing feeds, I saw the TapSplitter on You Tube and Amazon. Ordered, responded and delivered in 48 hours- excellent service. First sink tap took me about 20 minutes (learning and taking my time). Confident in the tool's prowess, next two taps were 5 minutes each,which included re-seating taps,new tap body units (Screwfix) and some lubrication. Good as new! I begrudged it's price a little , but after use I thought it was well worth it. Now gone into my plumbing tool kit as a worthwhile addition. Old taps will hold no fears in future. If you're a plumber, it's a great addition to have to hand and will pay for itself first job. I have no vested interest in this product other than being a satisfied user.

This tool is intuitive to use and freed two seized taps in under 5 minutes. It can appear expensive, but is a fraction of what a professional would charge. Highly recommended.

Used this product several times it is a brilliant piece of kit

This is a great product that works really well. I actually thought it hadn't worked at all as I was expecting some kind of big cracking sound or lightening bolt when the seal broke, but when I put the spanner on it came off no problem at all. My only advice is - check that the various fittings will fit your tap. I shelled out extra for the Pozibite fitting as all my efforts to undo the nut had left it pretty burred. Turned out the Pozibite attachment was way too small for my fitting, so I couldn't use it anyway. Luckily I managed to do it with the standard fittings anyway, so that was ok. Seems like, as the Pozibite has a screw which you drive into the nut to hold it on anyway, they could make the fitting a bit bigger to fit a broader range of taps. Although I spent a bit more than I needed to, it was still cheaper than getting a plumber!

Bought this to remove a tap gland which had a rounded nut. The Pozibite really came into its own and made light work of cracking the seal and removing the gland. Really saved my life. Not a tool that you will use often, but well worth having in your armoury! Have used it since to split other taps without the Pozibite bits, and it makes it so easy to split taps that have been in service even for many years. You can literally undo them with one finger!

I am a 71 year old lady and recently called in a plumber to re-washer leaking taps but the plumber could not undo the headgear nut. He said the the only way to release the nut was to return with a blowtorch and apply heat on it and left. So I used the TapSplitter (which I had bought a few months earlier) and I was completely amazed how easily and with no effort it undid the headgear nut. My heartfelt thanks to ABD Tools for designing such an amazing tool.

Bought this rather clever tool to split a hand basin tap which was seized solid after ten years of being in situ. I had tried the usual method to release it using a box spanner and adjustable spanner to no avail. The spanner slipped off and the tap moved! Luckily the pipe work or handbasin were not damaged. After watching the demonstration on YouTube several times and reading the instructions I felt confident this tapsplitter tool would make short work of that pesky tap! Not so. The spanner on the tap just twisted out of shape and the spout sleeve moved up the tap. Back to the YouTube video. Have I done something wrong?No. Tried again with same result. Having taken a closer look the taps themselves appear to have quite a steep angle on the spout so when the tapsplitter is put in position it looks out of true,and as you tighten things up the thing just buckles.The taps are from Wickes so they are hardly out of the ordinary and are very high quality.Sadly I gave up with the tapsplitter took the taps off popped down to Wickes and for £25 bought identical taps and put them on. I am sure this tool would work well on other taps that do not have such a steep spout. I shall keep it in my tool box you never know one day it may come in handy.
