The Idea Behind The Basin Buddy

Barry has been a professional tradesman since 1986, specializing in plumbing and HVAC. There isn’t much Barry hasn’t encountered over the years in the industry, "Most jobs require extensive handling in tight spaces." In this industry, you will quickly find that most jobs face challenges, and plumbers try to find new ways to approach the jobs at hand, or better tools to achieve the daunting task. Barry always kept this in mind when working on sink fixtures and replacements. It wasn’t until Barry had open bypass surgery that he realized how difficult even the simplest tasks became during his recovery. “I found it extremely challenging trying to use both hands to apply torque to a wrench in a tight area under the sink. I was unable to perform these jobs with limited mobility after having my ribs cracked open.” Barry then began to think about what would make these jobs easier, not just for himself, but for others as well. What if one tool could be operated with just one hand? Barry sketched out an idea and presented it to a fabricator friend. Months later, he had a prototype that he couldn’t wait to test, wondering if this tool would change the game. His design was compact, round, and easy to maneuver into tight spaces where other tools would struggle. It fits snugly on the lug nut and has the capacity for short or long extensions, providing more leverage and torque. Now, one hand can do the job with his ingenious creation!

Welcome The Basin Buddy™

With Originality Comes Imitators:

We have seen others try to copy the Basin Buddy, hoping to imitate the authenticity of what is already the perfect tool! The Basin Buddy is the one and only, made here in the USA! What else makes the Basin Buddy great? Our design is completely round, with nothing protruding to get caught in tight spaces. Theirs, on the other hand, requires a socket to hold it together...and it requires two hands to maneuver the tool, which defeats the purpose of what the Basin Buddy stands for. Also, it is important to note that with their clunky design, supply tubes can easily get bent, making it nearly impossible to slide their tool into place due to restrictions, rendering their version incapable of turning to break the nut. Why make a tough job harder? Don’t be fooled by the imitators; trust in the tool that is highly imitated and the innovator, the Basin Buddy!

The Basin Buddy was brought into production by Wal-Rich Tools. Superior Tool ® took the product to the masses via retail through brick and mortar, and online stores. And it was even featured in Supply House Times Magazine. This tool turned heads, and many soon found out what Barry had hoped for—a tool that brings real ease and true convenience. We are proud to support his idea and share it with you! This tool revolutionized the old ways of doing a task...all it took was a look outside of the box and a creative mind like Barry’s to change plumbing tools in this sector. We celebrate the innovation of the Basin Buddy and the ingenuity that Barry possesses.
