+1 to adam’s comments, I have never had a more frustrating P.O.S. tool than the WM packing nut wrench. You have to adjust it every 1/4 turn, and even then it’s hit or miss if you will get any rotation on the nut,, or just fly off it and bang your knuckles on something.

I also found the little corkscrew tool pretty useless, a bent nail and visegrips or a dental pick or a coathanger seem to work better at getting all the little bits of flax out.

Hi Adam,

There are, indeed, a trick or two. First, if yours hasn’t been maintained, the cheap crappy packing gland wrenches you can buy at West Marine or where ever are totally useless. I mean, don’t even bother. You’re wasting your money.
