At the bottom end of the shaft is a sliding T-bar that provides leverage for turning the shaft. Because it is designed only for use on faucet mounting nuts, a basin wrench's uses are limited. A faucet that has been in place a long time may have mounting nuts that are frozen in position with corrosion.
If this is the case, a preliminary spray with a penetrating oil can be a good idea. A spray can of oil with an extension straw is ideal for applying a small burst of oil onto the threads of the mounting bolt.
Wait a few minutes for the oil to penetrate before attempting to loosen the nut. Pivot the head of the basin wrench so it is perpendicular to the shaft and faces the correct position for loosening or tightening the nut:.
Remember, turning clockwise tightens; turning counterclockwise loosens. Or, if you prefer: righty-tighty , lefty-loosey.
Also, remember that you're viewing the nut from the perspective of looking up at it from under the sink—not from the top looking down. You'll know that you've positioned the head correctly if the claw grips the nut as you turn the wrench in the desired direction. If you get it backward, the claw will slip off the nut immediately. Fit the head of the wrench around the faucet mounting nut so the ridged jaws of the claw grip the notches or edges of the nut.
In this photo, the head is positioned for loosening the nut. Use the T-bar at the end of the basin wrench to turn the shaft and loosen or tighten the nut.
You may have to use two hands on the T-bar, or you can slide the bar all the way to one side and lever it with one hand while stabilizing the wrench shaft with the other hand.
