Is there a special tool, for securing a tap, that goes under the worktop and tightens the tap in position?

A deep socket or a flexible head ratchet spanner normally does the job quite wellSome people don't exaggerate........... They just remember big!0

OK so do I buy one of those or get a plumber to do it. The H & C pipes have isolating valves so I don't see it as a difficult job.Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0

Just take the tap and nut down B&Q or wherever and select a box spanner the right size.You scullion! You rampallian! You fustilarian! I’ll tickle your catastrophe (Henry IV part 2)0

Metric box spanner as per richardw link. Although I think that Toolstation do them. Look under hand tools.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -

The back panel of the kitchen sink base unit is in the way so will need something with a flexible head or universal joint.Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0
