This sink drain set perfectly matched my original. My only issue is they used scotch tape to bundle some of the items together and I needed to use Goo Gone spray to remove the sticky stuff. I replaced all 6 sinks in my house (2 in the master bedroom, 1 each in other 3 bedrooms, and the powder room).

Make your own. Worst case scenario.
If you have a piece of 3/4 copper you can make your own. Use a copper cutter to notch the copper on 2 sides and cut it to size with some sheet metal snips.

    faucet cartridge removal tool - good features-worked
    The cartridge removal tool worked fine. The repair was complicated by first installing the wrong cartridge but when I figured this out, got the right cartridge, I was able to complete the repair without problem.

    Could not have fixed the faucet without this tool.
    After reading a couple other reviews, I had my doubts about this faucet cartridge removal tool. It worked quite easily and quickly. I would not have been able to change the cartridge without this tool. The real question is why I need a special tool to fix a leaky faucet, but that's a manufacturer problem, not a Home Depot problem. The tool worked as advertised, though it did take a little more than a week to have it shipped to my local store.

    This is a must have if you are replacing your Moen faucet cartridges. I’m not sure we could have replaced them without it. Saved us a lot of time for sure ??

    This Moen cartridge retainer removal tool for 2 handle faucet is required to remove the Moen 2 faucet cartridge to repair a dripping faucet. It costs about $5.50 at HomeDepot.com. It would be good for Home Depot to stock these in their stores because you cannot remove the cartridge without using this tool.

    Made this tool from 3/4 tubing and it worked well. But the tool bought from Home Depot worked well to install the new cartridge. You cannot push the cartridge from the center stem, it will break the cartridge.
