Hello,
With my back being what it is, I just can't very well crawl under my kitchen
sink to see.
So, please, what is the likely wrench size to mesh with the female socket
that is
on the bottom of the (my) kitchen sink garbage disposal that is provided to
turn the impeller when it gets stuck ?
My guess is that are all the same size, but perhaps not ?
Have no idea what brand I have.
Also, is it a hex wrench that I need ? (or is it square ?)
Much thanks,
Bob

Try using a flashlight and mirror to get a look at the socket and brand
label.

1/4" hex. Disposals come with wrench for this, but if you don't have
one, a 1/4" allen wrench will be fine.

Are you able to reach in through the top? If so, turn it with your hand.
But, you know how people can be sometimes. If anyone's standing near the
switch, ask them to leave the room. No...the house. Or go shopping.

The Borg has a set of Allen head wrenches that fold up like a pocket knife.
Treat yourself to a set of standard and metrics next birthday or Valentine's
day. They have an ergonomically friendly soft plastic handle. Helpful for
lots of things, and the hinge keeps them all together.
Husky, IIRC.
