Danco 10909 Multi-Use Aerator Key, Black

I specifically bought this tool to replace my plastic one which got destroyed while trying to unscrew a gripped aerator. I chose this over a proper metal spanner or key only because it specified this tool is a "durable construction" and made of metal, no mention of any other material. It turns out the flat part only is metal, the actual aerator key itself is made of plastic. It failed me on my very first first attempt, like my previous plastic key the aerator didn't budge so it's the flay section of the plastic key that gave in.Destroyed in seconds and my aerator is still there. Amusingly, I bought this for 35 dhs yesterday and today the price is 60 dhs...

Did not work with my Kohler faucet

I am giving it 5 stars because it worked for me when nothing else did..I have flex hose sink faucet with model number--A112.18.1; that is a Moen brand. This was the only aerator wrench that would engage the slots on the underside of the head. My choice would be to have one with slightly wider prongs to help avoid the prongs slipping out and ruining of the plastic slots, but, with the proper precautions, you probably can make it work.My faucet has 4 slots on the underside of the spray end. The set of prongs nearest the center of the wrench engaged two of these plastic slots. You have to be very careful not to tilt the wrench when you apply pressure or you will ruin the slots. Keep your hand cupped over the prong end of the wrench when you twist it. Don't think you can just twist the wrench holding the other end; if you do, you will surely tear up the slots.The faucet slots are at the center of my sprayer, so it looks like the wrench is going to loosen the center of the place where the water comes out. Instead, the threads you are loosening are around the edge of and inside the head, and when you undo it, all the head parts fall out. In effect, you are loosening threads that are 2" in diameter using a 2 prong metal device that engages plastic slots that are only about 3/4" in diameter. This is a really bad design, of course, so you have to be careful not to cam out the slots. If you successfully get it apart, be sure to coat the treads with silicon so it comes apart easily next time.I ordered through Amazon Prime about 11:30am on a Friday. The Amazon web page said this would receive same day delivery, but it actually came Saturday night about 10:30pm. That was good enough for me. We just washed our dishes in the toilet for two more days. No problemo.

As i DIY'er i was looking to try and clean out an old tap, and happy to have found this. It fitted perfectly on the gauze i wanted to clean, but the other fixing on the tool, also allowed me to clean the other taps in the rest of the house. Another item to add to the DIY kit!

Works as advertised

Tried with different Kohler taps ..this device is unable to open up any of the aereators…maybe this is meant for taps outside India or could be for specific models only
