If the tool looks like below, it's to remove a recessed aerator.

If it's a small metal hex key (allen wrench), it's to remove the handle on a single hole faucet.

It might also be the installation wrench:

Adhesive to use in a toilet tank

M

Mizzfixit2 on Nov 18, 2016

Hello .. I want to insulate a toilet tank. I cut blue foam (camping pad) to fit the tank, it fits nice. I need to glue it to the tank itself but am uncertain as to what kind of adhesive I should use. The tank is bone dry, has never been used yet ..I bought it by mistake but can't return for an insulated one. Does anyone know what kind of adhesive I can use for this project. Thank you.

Clean Toilet Fill Valve?

R

Can the valve below be disassembled and cleaned. [ATTACH]79158[/ATTACH] Background: It has been partially clogged for years but yesterday the city replaced the pipe to the meter on their side and now it is totally clogged. I verified the supply valve and line is clear. I know it's not expensive to replace but would like to try cleaning if possible.
