Socket wrench for toilet oval water shutoff valve

Nice solution to your problem. I hope it does the trick!

As a maintenance guy in an apartment community I’ve been on the wrong side of those valves plenty of times - things like bad washers and seats or the handle snapping off in my hand. I always take replacements with me when I go to work on an old faucet or toilet. The quickest adjustment can turn into a major project in the blink of an eye.

I work as a maintenance mechanic at a hospital. When ever possible we replace this type of valve with a 1/4 turn valve. No more leak by or restricted flow when the rubber seat fails.

Roger that! Ditto here.
