Moen single handle kitchen faucet

Hi, I need some advise on the removal of a Moen single handle faucet. Can someone tell me what special tool I need to remove the faucet from the sink and is it available at my local Lowe's or Home Depot? The faucet is so corroded with hard water scale thatthere is no saving it and I am going to replace the whole thing. Should I stay with the same brand or upgrade to one better? Thanks a lot

If you are the original owner you might try talking to Moen at 1-800-Buy-Moen.
