how to fix leaky garden tap

julian_96

hi all

i I have a leaky tap, I’ve tightened it as much as I can with my hand and don’t really want to use my spanner in case I crack something or break it. I’ve seen some threads saying to turn main water supply off and removing the tap, going to bunnings to find the ideal one. I’d love to try it but what do i screw out? Just below the lever or the part connecting to the water supply?

Also I’ve seen tips on kinetic tape - should I get it? It’s only $1 and I assume would help with the fit of the tap?
