Always interesting but I'm more of a 2x8 ramp
Same here 🤣🤘
In a pinch use the floor mats from your Vehicle
Those are all fantastic tricks mon ami. My brother’s favourite trick is to call me for his plumbing repairs 😁
🤣🤣🤣
Now thats a trick that has a 100% success rate 😂
🤘

I'm in no way shape or form a plumber, but it seems like my boss does the same trick on every jobsite I've been on the last 5 years....especially right after the hired plumbers leave....and it's a swimming pool in said kitchen bath bar restroom or porch lol, had a fun one in an attic once lol. Ever seen a wall stub out in 1 1/4!!! Yeah...me neither..until about 2 weeks ago, wt actual f???
Love the C clamp trick. I’ll be using that one for sure
🤘🤘🤘
Well they also have 45* Drill bit for those tight area
@@mannyalgredo6005 - How does a 45° drill bit (which I'll have to Google) hammer in a nail?
Dustin Tunis the 45° Drill bit is attached to your Drill you can add extensions depending on the spacing it's very useful for Hvac installations. It's also called right angle driver Drilling but for short everyone calls it's the 45°
@@mannyalgredo6005 - That would be a 90, not 45, but it still doesn't hammer in a nail. I suppose you could drive a screw in instead of a nail though.
The “c” clamp trick, genius!!
Agreed! 🤗
Instead of c clamp I have used 480 channel lock pliers
"You'd be lying if you say you knew this one" yea he nailed that.
🤣🤣🤣
C clamp?
How bout a zip tie.
Duh!
They could be little hints BUT life savings and the very common ones. Very helpful.
Thanks heaps 🙏🙏🙏
Get a couch cushion to lay on while working under the sink. Be careful to leak water all over it.
Foil is a really good idea I’ve never thought of that. That being said if your soldering in areas like that often I’d definitely recommend getting a small fire blanket. Stuff does wonders
Good tip!
“Loyal to the Foil!”
Old license plates work well too.
That C-Clamp idea is great!
👌👌👌👌👌
Love how he balances the pipe to find the center then confirms with a tape measure! Brilliant 😉
Heyyy, it was just an example 😂
Great video! However, for the 2x4 back support, it's still uncomfortable, due to the sharp edges, and also can damage the bottom rail of the cabinet. What I've done is use about a 2 foot long by 18 inch wide piece of 3/4 " plywood, covered on both sides and edges with a thick carpet, it saves your back, and also protects the floor and cabinet from scratches/damage!!
That tubing cutter trick is great. I have done something similar in the past with vice grip pliers, tight enough to hold the pipe but not damage it.
Yes, works too 🤘
Any kind of pliers wold do , without damaging the pipe , just open the pliers a little bit bigger than the pipe and lay them on safe soldering area so the end with the fitting would be up and off the surface in a 35 degree angle or so , then apply the flame starting from the bottom of the fitting up to the top , by the time you get to the top part it'll be ready to take the solder , and clear the excess solder with the tip of the sold solder then finish it with brush and flux, never assume the pipe its not to hot , heat travels fast on copper so use a rag or pliers to handle the pipe and wipe flux off with a wet rag folded after 30 seconds to a minute after soldering.
That was the most helpful trick for sure. Who solders vertically when you could solder horizontally though?
Watching your videos as an apprentice I've used some of these tricks around journeyman and they've been like wth... 👍thx my man
So cool to hear 😎😎😎
“Hire an apprentice while he still knows everything!” 👍🏼
Damn bro your such an inspiration I genuinely appreciate your knowledge
Thank you sooo much 🙏🙏🙏
Been plumbing over 25 yrs but I always learn something from you brother. Keep the good work up. Shalom
😇😇😇
I used a pneumatic palm nailer to hammer in a few pex clamps in a tight space, working through an access panel in sheetrock where the clamp wouldn't have worked. Took a few tries to do, but it worked!
Yes! That last trick is a lifesaver! You are amazing! Thanks so much for posting these videos. I always look forward to them.
🙏🙏🙏
I always use my big chanellock pliers to install the pex clip when there is no room to hammer, just open the jaw and squeeze the nail in the stud.
Works!!!
The C clamp trick will come in handy for stapling Romex in tight spaces also!
I've never thought of using a tubing cutter as a vice, but I have used a pair of vice grips for the same scenario. Thank you so much for the tips!
Glad it was helpful!!!
The c clamp is one of those “Holy shit that’s so obviously useful how didn’t I come up with that” tricks.
🤣🤣🤣
Well, if you want an answer to your question: Low IQ, my friend.

Amazing tricks, some i knew and some i didnt. The C-clamp trick was a real omg moment for me. Why didnt i ever think of that?
Anyway, thanx for sharing and stay safe.
🤗🤗🤗
Very cool tricks, i learned something else today, and i know a lot of them, I'm a plumber , you never stop learning new tricks even if I solved these diferent ways, i liked them.

Always used smokepipe i like the aluminum foil idea
Lot of good ideas. I think I need to make a ramp for working under the sinks as a maintenance technician for a senior living facility.
🙏🙏🙏
All great!
Thanks a million!
Ingenious!!!

I love using the cutter as a way to hold a pipe while soldering.
🤘
Great Tricks.... thanks
Thank you so much 👌👌👌
Great tricks, the c clamp trick I will use today, I’ve was in a pickle last night with this exact issue. I have three feet of pex with no clamps.
🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Thanks. Forty plus years of home plumbing and it never occurred to me to use a c clamp for talon clips. Also I have always stole cushions from the couch to work under sinks. I am pleased.
😇😇😇
Got2 love it👍
😉😉😉
Good stuff 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great tips! another one for d/w tee or wye is a short piece of 7/8" rubber d/w hose (like what returns from the air gap), couple hose clamps and a 3/4" pvc plug fits in the end.
Yes, that would work even better, thanks!
Plug of plumbers putty works well too
I could've used that 2×4 trick today.
Joining the c clamp gang. That was a great one man. I dig for sure.
👌🙏
Brilliant
😇😇😇
Nice tricks!

Awesome! Thank you!
Love you from Bangladesh.
🤗🤗🤗
They make thick knee foam pads that I use to lay under sinks with, very handy piece of equipment.
Yes!
Foil also works great for leaks in walls to divert the water into a drain or bucket!
Yes it does!
I feel like I should have thought of #1 before..... THANK YOU!
🙏🙏🙏
I knew the c clamp one , literally thought about doing it on a repipe when I was an apprentice helping
stickers can be scratched off with channel locks too
C clamp, genius! When you are laying on the edge of a cabinet, I buy those kneeling mats from the hardware store and lay that on the edge. So much better.
🙏🙏🙏
I just use a pillow😨
@@budacah the places I end up working and the things I end up doing I don't want anything that is absorbent...
Great share 🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏼
Thanks Michael!!!
@@Got2Learn no sir...thank you
@@michaeljohn29 🤗
I like the pipe cutter to hold the pipe. I wish I knew that one years ago.
It's very useful hehe ;)
@@Got2Learn now I can quit trying to make a magnet that works for copper.
@@jpp9876 😆😆😆
Been a plumber for 30 years and knew most of them but learned a couple things too.
Sweeet!!! 🤘🤘🤘
C clamp my favourite
😉😉😉
For the cutting the pipe in half one, support the pipe at both ends on both pointer fingers, slowly bring your hands together. When your fingers meet they’ll be pretty close to center.
👌👌👌
As a master plumber I thank you for job security! People like you keep me in business! Keep it up!
🙏🙏🙏
