      Thanks! I'm not a fan of the current trend of spending 30 minutes on 5 minutes worth of content, I like to keep them lean. ☺️

    Best investment made for me was a tap reseating tool, completely stopped the leak in our kitchen hot water tap.

      A good quality tap reseating tool used carefully can make a big improvement. A poor quality one can quickly make things a LOT worse! 😧

      I'm still surprised that I managed to keep the hacksaw cut that straight!

    Nah mate. This looks like some sorta hack job. The only way this should be done is with hemp thread soaked in whale oil.
    I should know I've had 17 years as an oompa loompa smoking opium in a Ugandan barber shop.

      That's for a different kind of tap body with a packing gland area built into the bonnet. They still use that type for big high-pressure taps (usually Gate Valves), but I haven't seen that style used on a simple garden tap like this one for about 40 years.

      Also, we're a bit short of whales around here. 😏
