1. A basin wrench assembly for manipulating an under-counter water connection for a faucet, said assembly comprising:
a handle comprising a first section slidably receiving a second section such that said handle has a telescopically adjustable length;
a wrench being pivotally coupled to said handle such that said wrench is pivotable along an axis being perpendicularly oriented with a longitudinal axis of said handle wherein said wrench is configured to be positioned to engage a nut on a water line attached to a faucet beneath a counter, said wrench comprising a pair of jaws being pivotally coupled to each other wherein each of said jaws is configured to engage the nut;
wherein said handle has a first end, a second end and an outer wall extending between said first end and said second end, said handle being elongated between said first end and said second end, said first end being associated with said first section, said second end being associated with said second section, said second end is rounded;
wherein said outer wall associated with said second section having a plurality of holes each extending through said outer wall associated with said second section, said holes being spaced apart from each other and being distributed along a full length of said second section;
wherein said outer wall of associated with said first section has an opening extending through said outer wall associated with said first section, said opening being positioned adjacent to a terminal end of said first section;
wherein said first end having a well extending toward said terminal end of said first section, said well having a bounding surface, said bounding surface having a plurality of intersecting sides such that said well has a rectangular shape wherein said well is configured to insertably receive a driver of a socket wrench; and
a tab having a primary end, a secondary end and a first surface extending between said primary end and said secondary end, first surface lying against said outer wall associated with said first section of said handle, said tab being coupled to said outer wall associated with said first section of said handle at a connection point located adjacent to said secondary end of said tab, said tab having a bend being positioned adjacent to said primary end of said tab such that said primary end of said tab is directed away from said outer wall associated with said first section thereby facilitating said primary end to be gripped, said tab being biased to lie against said outer wall associated with said first section.
