RIDGID One Stop Plumbing Wrench Review!

What happens here

With the angle stop valve loosely in place on the copper pipe, the presenter inserts the lug end of the smaller, detachable wrench into the valve's opening. This stabilizes the valve and prevents it from turning. He then uses the 15/16" open end of the main Ridgid One-Stop Wrench to engage the compression nut. By turning the main wrench clockwise while holding the valve steady with the lug tool, he tightens the compression nut, securing the angle stop valve firmly onto the copper pipe.

Goal: The presenter demonstrates how to securely install an angle stop valve onto a copper pipe by using the smaller wrench (lug side) for stability and the main wrench body (15/16" end) to tighten the compression nut.
