Yea but you don't need it...

The only use would be for tightening the nut on a basket strainer and you shouldn't be using that type anyway cause so many of them end up leaking.

That large nut has so much surface area and friction that they never get tight enough to make a good seal so they make a great source of income for us service plumbers...

the wrench is no use to us cause when we get called to replace the basket strainer assembly it is all loose and spinning and the nut won't turn so we just pry under the nut and it breaks and flies off...

Save your money!

I have no beef with lowes or the depot. I'm not driving 4 extra miles to pick up somthing when I can stop in lowes and get the same...or BETTER for cheaper on some items.
