How many years/decades can a Sharkbite fitting be expected to last? I've read conflicting opinions; some people say they use them only as temporary solutions. If it were only a fitting between two pipes not subject to mechanical stresses, I assume it could last for decades without leaking. But when it's part of a shutoff valve, the operation of closing or opening the valve will cause some force on it. And if it's a shutoff valve located below a sink, it would be at risk of being bumped. Would either of these scenarios cause enough mechanical stress to be significant? How gentle must the residents be on these, to have confidence they will last for decades without trouble? Also, how confident can we be that Sharkbite will still be in business manufacturing replacements decades from now?

If I don’t have a deburring tool, what is the depth or lengths of the marks you’re making on the pipes.

I came across this wiring a few days ago in my house which was built in 2002. Great video, very helpful! Much appreciated!

You should put barker

You don’t need to twist the cutters. You are either using the wrong gauge or your cutters are dull. Stop giving wrong advice. Like, delete your video.

How wonderful your video was to solve my problem. I have the same issue with the wiring and you saved the day. Much much appreciated

When testing a single pole switch, how do u find the breaker for that switch without turning off random breakers?

Don't let loser comments discourage You!

You are adding more stress to something already not meant for heavy duty. If you want a stronger saw horse, take the geometry of the Pegasus and build a new portable one that you can attach to the Pegasus. At 3:40: you are using extra clamps to hold the wood when you have 2 clamps with guides included with the table for a more secure work and safer. Now, you cannot use the clamps provided with the bench neither use the guides on the table, you cannot use the pockets, you cannot add another Pegasus. It looks that YOU are the #1 problem with the Pegasus, not the table. Also, at 4:50: don't you have a table where to put the circular saw? it was on the floor, unstable. Do you want to be at the "Idiots at work" videos?

What kind of stand is your work surface on?

I have mistake number 4 at Time 5:16 with the smoke detector box uncovered 🤦

When I changed an outlet in my home, I found mistake number 5 at time 3:59

Don't want to sound rude, but the video has more the tone of "How do i teach a caveman what a drill is"

A switch in a room in my home has now screws at all but, I'm not going to try to add the screws because the plate is held on with the concrete and paint 😅🤦

🤦

Hardly a video about "Pros" use of the tool; more like "What you would learn if you read the damn manual"

Yes.. them live wires hurt like hell... and i know from experience when i was 18 years old...

Middle setting of the switch which locks out the chuck, it’s used to prevent the drill from draining the battery during transport

You are the shark bit king I see you have plenty of them Excellent presentation straight forward

The older bx wires had no ground wire but an aluminum grounding strip that is difficult to secure to the box.

Actually, you could fit a single strip of wood in the top grove between the Worx panels. If the top grove can't close the table can't open.

Thanks for this review. I used your link and bought one of their bundles. I can't wait to try them out.

Not supposed to use sandpaper according to Shark Bit.

Currently NEC does not stipulate for boxes. There are also nylon. When I rise to power, that will change. Only metal boxes will be code. Plastic and nylon will be banned and non code compliant. I hope the NEC pulls their head out of their @$$ soon. Whenever they do, it can't ever be soon enough. A simple light switch DOES require a ground wire. Why would you say it does not ? There is also a grounding screw on the light switch. The switch carried line power and if shorted can shock you if you touch screws or have metal plates.

good presentation, likely your descriptions as you did it. only thing I didn't like is speeding up the 2nd valve. i wanted to see it done again and hear a second time what you were saying. no reason to speed that up.

I loathe managing rechargeable batteries. How often do these need to be recharged? How many times can they be recharged? Are the batteries removable/replaceable? As an alternative, why not just use an ordinary lamp in the room, that shines light into the closet?

Really nice video; I was leaning toward the Ryobi speed bench over the Pegasus but I think you’ve swayed me. Do you find yourself missing out on the ability to use the included clamps with your topper in place or is it not a big deal? Thanks again!

The tub spout in the shower is wild

Thanks you. The information is nice and clear. Got my answer in a minute.

Thank you so much for this amazing idea. Just bought the worx bench and i noticed how difficult it was clamping anything down. Going to build this little jig!

Why aren't all videos that clear!? Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. In the last situation with a short ground and adding a dimmer switch, can I use a straight through wago connector and screw only the long ground from the dimmer switch under the box screw?

How do you measure when you want to replace an existing valve?

6/32 not matched

If light switches do not need a ground, why is there a grounding screw on the switch???

can that ball valve be permanently slightly closed to reduce volume of water ?

I think "#3 Restore Level" is an undesirable feature. Bulbs burn out mainly due to the current surge when they're turned on. So to maximize bulb life, I always turn the dimmer switch to minimum light before turning it off. That minimizes the surge when it's turned back on. But the "Restore Level" feature turns on the bulb with the high surge current that corresponds to the high previous light level. However, if the "Restore Level" feature were combined with an anti-surge feature -- an automatic gradual ramping up from off to the previous level -- that would be more useful.

I was wondering why the switches in my 1978 house didn't have ground wires connected to them, rather only to the metal box. I now know from a little tid bit where you mentioned it. Thanks.

I would add one edit to your list for DIY'ers using Metal boxes when Romex and other non class wires. Even when secured, the sharp edges of most boxes can cut into wire making the box live. Add bushings to protect your unclad wires be they Romex, Solid, Stranded Etc. Most DIY'ers think the bushings are for water proofing. I see it everyday.

Thanks for the info

How did you know to cut off 2 in of the pipe? Is this standard for shark bites?

Thanks for a very good video. I'm returning the cheap bend wire type tomorrow and getting this style. It looks so much easier. A good wire stripper is essential too. Thanks again!

Hi, i pretty much had the same issue you had, the only difference was i didn't have a shut off valve in my basement for the utility tub. I had absolutely no idea how to install a shut off valve untill i saw this video. I followed each and every step as you did, bought the exact equipment needed to this and it did the job. Thank you so much for sharing and making this video. You saved me quite a few dollars if I had to call a plumber to install theae valves. Thanks again 🍻

You could also just use a single bungie cord thru the table's rails to keep it together.

Can your wire strippers crimp butt connectors?

A great video with good ideas. Enough verbal info and simple-to-follow video tutorial. Thank you.

Wires need to be twisted before using a wire nut? Are you sure?

2 more mistakes.... 1. NEVER enclose the JB in a finished ceiling or wall. Must be accessible. 2. Be aware of box fill rules. Ratio of wire size, fasteners and quantity to Box Size. Play Safe.....

If theres such thing as pro-jects, are there amateur-jects also?

Would you recommend this or the new brushless version ??
