Since i moved, i've had the hardest time getting the aerator off the faucet. I had to use pliers every time, and i always was worried about scratching it up. I was at home depot the other day, and found the perfect solution: an aerator wrench! It's just a little plastic deal, one side fits the regular round kind and the other fits the style with two flat areas. It works great, and only cost a couple of dollars. It's been a really nice companion to my beloved Python.

That's pretty sweet. I wanted to hook up the python in the kitchen for my moms tank( mine hooks up in my bathroom) but couldn't get the dang aerator off.

Thanks for the heads up!

That's fantastic!! I've been using a wrench this entire time! I'll have to look for that. Was it in the sink aisle?

Very cool. Didn't know such a thing existed!
I just don't screw the aerator on too tight.

It was in the plumbing section, where they had all the spare aerators. I tried to find a linnk to it on the home depot website but apparently they don't sell it online.
