Quick take
The right plumbing tool changes with the fitting you are trying to move. A cleanout plug with a raised or countersunk slot needs a wrench set with sockets and a T-handle; a faucet nut needs a compact multi-tool; an angle stop compression ring needs a sleeve puller; a broken pipe nipple needs an internal grip. These four sets split cleanly by repair, so the first step is to name the project, not to buy the biggest kit.

Product notes
Plumbing cleanout plug wrench set - Red case
The 13-piece set is built for cleanout plugs. It covers raised square sockets from 7/8-inch up to 2 1/8-inch, countersunk sockets from 3/4-inch to 1 1/8-inch, and two slotted sockets for 1/4-inch x 1-inch and 1/4-inch x 1 3/4-inch plugs. The 17-inch two-piece steel T-handle and foam-lined carry case keep the set organized. Choose it when you need one set that handles most common cleanout plug configurations. The limitation is the size of the investment: at $315, it is the most expensive option here, and that scope makes sense when you regularly face a variety of plug styles rather than a one-time cleanout.
Klein Tools 68098 Faucet Wrench 12-in-1
Twelve functions in one tool make this a versatile carry-along for faucet and toilet repairs. The compact design suits tight spaces under sinks, and the US-made tool carries model 68098 for easy reference. If your project list is mainly shut-off valves, faucet nuts, or toilet connections, this is a practical pick at $36.95 that does not demand a full kit. The tradeoff is scope: its listed job is sink and toilet plumbing, so cleanout plug work, compression sleeve pulling, and broken nipple extraction are situations that need a different tool. That makes it a versatile general first tool rather than the only tool for every plumbing job.
6-Piece Plumbing Tool Kit - Angle Stop Wrench, Compression Sleeve Puller
This all-in-one angle-stop kit is the focused option for replacing compression angle stops. The kit pairs an angle stop wrench with a compression sleeve puller and includes sandpaper and a storage bag, so it is designed as a job-specific package. The 2-in-1 plumber's wrench adjusts to fit 15/16-inch and 5/8-inch nuts, while threaded ends work with 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch MPT compression outlet threads. At $53.99, it costs more than the Klein multi-tool but bundles the specific pieces a compression angle stop job needs. The limitation is the same focus: this kit is about angle stops and compression rings, so cleanout plug, general faucet, and broken nipple jobs need a different tool.
PIPE EXTRACTOR SET - internal wrench
The least expensive option here, at $29.00, is the set designed for broken pipe nipples. Its internal-wrench approach grips from inside the nipple, which is the maneuver you need when a pipe end breaks off flush with a fitting. OEM Tools identifies it as a pipe nipple remover tool, and the internal wrench style tells you how it works. It is the right choice when your project is not a faucet or angle stop but a stuck or broken nipple. The limitation is the narrow specialization: the set's stated job is broken nipple removal, so a faucet or angle stop repair calls for a different tool.
Final recommendation by use case
- For faucet and toilet service, the Klein Tools 68098 is the one to take under the sink.
- For compression angle stop replacement, the 6-Piece Plumbing Tool Kit is the job-specific package.
- For a broken pipe nipple, the PIPE EXTRACTOR SET is the one to reach for.
- For cleanout plug maintenance across many sizes, the Plumbing cleanout plug wrench set covers the range.
