Want to see more videos like this? We're thinking about giving Plumber's Hero another shot, what do you think?
I wonder if this kind of channel format would mesh with some of the stupid raingutter stuff I’ve seen.
I'm curious - would your plunger do the job? It's well known in dyi etc, that a gentle continuous force will move things, and that trying to just "smash it" will result in bad things. With a plunger, and a good seal, you could up the pressure slowly - with this thing, not so much.
I would love to see Plumber’s Hero used again just to get a good laugh of you being sprayed at by something 😂
I wanna see you unclog that sink with a regular cheap old plunger...
I would love to see you use the Milwaukee air snake with this test that would be awesome.
My wife always takes the sink strainer out when she's dumping the dishwater. I ask why she does that and she says 'because it get's food pieces stuck in it.' IT'S SUPPOSED TO ! She doesn't get it.
sounds like your dishwasher is broken
@@jrock865 Mine is broke as well. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@@jrock865 It's noisy anyway.
@@dalesworld1308 mine gripes and makes noises too so i just turn the game up louder.
@@jrock865 I am impressed, you created a statement with multiple meanings.
I'm addicted to plumbing videos. Now I'm considering be a plumber
dont it sucks lol
It’s a shitty job but pays very well. Just remember that nasty smell is the smell of money
This guy makes plumbing fun. Straight up unless you love putting pipe together and sometimes touching poop pipes,don't do it for a career. That being said nobody saves more lives than a plumber,so you'd be able to take that home everyday.
Edit: I also want to say money truely isn't everything,I'm an electrician (use to be an apprentice plumber),but I prefer installing flooring personally. Also it doesn't matter what trade it is,if there's a shitty smell,it's the smell of good money.
Second gen plumber. Everything my father wanted he got and more. Excellent field of work, just don't be a pretty boy.
Do it
They re-valved canned air and sold it as a drain blaster. What a racket.
yea lol thats waht im thinking would use the rest of it for, the computer.
@@justingovak3632 you’re gonna blow a hole through your motherboard Lmao
It would work, but he did it wrong. He should have cleared out some of the beads from the top part first which you can tell he didn't do.
@@ww2fan18 and he didn’t submerge it in water like the guy in the ad
@@r.4teen Even if he did add water, It would shoot upwards the sink, since it doesn't give enough force to push the beads, so dry or not. It doesn't work as advertised.
Y'all are gonna be finding orbeez in that room til the end of time lol
At least he didnt fill it with glitter
those orbeez are gonna be everywhere at the end of time
@@naryosh_ no
@@2MeterLP why must you make me feel pain
@@naryosh_ i hate you
Not gonna lie, I burst out laughing when those first orbeez came flying back up! As seen on tv indeed :D
Friend of mine bought a house from an elderly couple. After about 3 weeks living there, he noticed his kitchen sink would drain slowly, within a week it clogged completely. So he decided to stick Drano Max Gel down in the sink and it didn't fix a thing. Told him I'd come by and take a look for him. He had a 13ft clog of Grease, Pasta, Hair, Drano, and smell. God knows what else. I ended up redoing all of his plumbing to the house because it was a nightmare underneath his house.
that must of smelt like death.
Poor Guy
That smell must have been horrid, ive seen kitchen plumbing that smells so bad it made bathrooms smell like roses and im not even a plumber, i just help my buddy when he needs extra hands
You look like you're 11. I doubt you could put a lego house together.

So I was always told by my parents to NEVER pour grease down the drain. It clogs it up. But now I started to catch my husband doing exactly that, so I was curious so see if you were to do a video on it? There's probably other videos online about it but I'd love to see your take on it! Just started to watch these videos and you've successfully made plumbing sound fun.
I think you should show the proper way a trained plumber would deal with the issue after the as seen on TV product fails.
It’s a hole damn box of orbeez prolly not made for taht
He kinda did in the previous video involving Orbeez. At leas t with what lead me here, seems like he did 3 of them. Could be more. But it was essentially what he would do with Pasta - Rice - Potatoes - etc; that would naturally get built up. Disassemble and clean.
If you can't figure it out then call a plumber. It's kinda the ongoing theme here.
This unrealistic test. Also if you so week you can't keep a seal. Stop being plumber.
Yeah that’s 170$ a hour cuzz
"we had the rubber in place everything should have sealed off great" ahhh the story of how I was made
LMFAOOO!!!!
Sorry to hear that bro

@@MikeL-FL Oh I'm not saying air can't be effective, I'm just suggest the old Sitcom might've used pressures that would have just straight up cracked the porcelain xD
You laugh, but I kinda wish he'd made like Mythbusters and done "Okay, so what DOES it take to blow the orbeez down the drain?" and tried bigger and better techniques until something gave...

Some day, some random tik toker will invent the orbeez drinking challenge.
Nothing would happen. The acid in your stomach wouldn’t react with them and expand them. You’d just crap out small orbeez. Look up orbeez in sulfuric acid
Some day our lord and savior will present him or herself and create the long anticipated orbez drinking challenge
Jesus christ i spelled orbeez wrong
@@bionicleone what if they drunk water after
What would happen tho

fuuusionnnn hoo!
About a month ago I bought one of these hero tools to help my folks unclog the kitchen sink. I never could get the damn thing to work as advertised. It kept back blasting me with surface ick, so I decided to take apart the plumbing. Unfortunately this did not happen because the instant hot water system under the sink was awkwardly installed and partially obstructed the pee trap. I'm not a plumber and a barely qualify for handy man. I didn't have the technical know how to even want to try and uninstall and then reinstall that system just to get to a pee trap.
After forcing my folks to endure my, rather colorful I might add, tirade of frustration I ended up jury rigging a thin steel pipe I found in my dad's tool chest to his shop vac with gorilla tape. Set the vac to blast and got to fracking the kitchen sink. Alternating between blow and suck on the vac I would dislodge clumps then suck them out. This worked rather well and I removed the clog in 15-20 minutes.
I can see the hero working on minor clogs but the back blast sucks. Its awkward to use and if you don't get the seal on the drain perfect you'll get all that ick lingering round the drain on you. Honestly the shop vac was easier to use.
Pressure will take the easiest way to escape. If you just have a minor clog, which will move easily, there should be no back blast.
On the other hand: If you are clogging your pipe system that often, that you often need such products, you should evaluate your behavior in pouring anything into the sink. Or flush the system correctly afterwards, that it won´t clog up.
I keep trying shop vac ugh
My first thought seeing that splash back was "what if that was drain cleaner?"
My second was "what if that was toilet water?" 😂
i mean to be fair it's meant for sinks, not toilets, but there can still be some pretty nasty stuff in sinks, especially including drain cleaner
I really hope Roger makes a series of "As Seen on TV VS 50,000 Orbeez" because it has so much potential!
Well, the Orbeez moved, just not down the drain.
What’s cool about any tool using compressed air to clear a clog in a pipe is the fact it’s using the water’s hydraulic force to clear the clog. Because water can’t compress it will push anything it can out it’s way, but the down side is if it comes in contact with something that won’t move you’ll create a water hammer and likely bust the pipe.
"Luckily for me, I had safety glasses on"
That's not luck, that's anti-darwinism
No awards today
@@kuhljager2429 actually evolution can happen in the brain. It ensures that we can actually use the tools we make
@@somuchtocook9159 ?? I think you replied on the wrong comment thread
@@kuhljager2429 yeah but I’m just saying that we evolve in a different way because it ensures that we can continue to use the tools we have
You'd think that the average idiot would know better, but then again, the Florida-Man meme exists for a reason.
The commitment to the push🤣🤣🤣 I love it. He's deadass trying to make it work and getting sprayed
About as good as I would expect from an As Seen On TV product
if you get told you need to cover your face, use that picture as your face covering.
Came across this channel by accident, best accident ever.
Legend has it, old man wakefield is still wandering his shop, picking up stray orbeez to this day.
Just give it a few minutes. The sharkbite guys will be here in a minute to tell you that you just don't like it because it gives homeowners their power back.
@@teddyfresh9605 , lol
@Deon Denis , most plumbers use PEX now because copper has gotten too expensive. PEX is also installed much faster. What took days to do in the past, now takes hours because of PEX. You'll see some old skool plumbers who still use copper, but it's not as common as it use to be. Some states still require copper in commercial/industrial settings.
8:23 the real reason plumber hero was made was for you to get a beer and watch the plumber do his job
Love the vids and you being a Longhorns fan. (Me too). You're VERY good at teaching. Thank you for the hard work.
Wow this was cool, and I love how you brought up the safety concerns. You’re my new favorite plumber!
imagine all the crap that shoots out when you use this in an actual sink
These videos are so much fun! And very informative at the same time
Is it possible that these Orbeez expanded so much that they lodged themselves significantly more than a regular blockage? Is it a fair comparison? I don't know enough about Orbeez vs a regular clog.
Lol yeah these things are made to suck in water and expand to big balls.
Man this guy always stuffing the sink full of shit.
It actually does seem to have made the Orbeez move, though ... although, by spraying them all over your face, and not the direction you hoped for.
Hey the face was the target all along.
Im not sure you can say this was a failure
When she says “DEEPER” 7:44
Oh yes.
Oh boy.....
Oh gosh........
oh lord........
Oh daddy
I've come from a long line of watching people mow lawns to perfection to this guy testing plumping products and I gotta say it's been great
Who knew a plumber could be so entertaining
You have to be having a bad day to dislike this guys videos
6:56 The rubber is actually attached the wrong way around. I guess thats why you should always read the instruction first xD
I just watched the ad and you're correct, it's actually on backwards. I assumed you were mistaken but nope, it definitely was put on backwards.
Not quite an accurate test. He never took the excess Orby‘s out of the basket strainer. Unless that thing is perfectly sealed the back pressure is going to blow out the top like it did every time. Entertaining for sure lol
No, I didn't search this.
No, I never wondered if this gadget could actually unclog Orbeez.
But I'm here now so I might as well find out.
you're putting the seal on to seal the drain, but did you remove the orbees first? if the orbees are still there, you can't make a seal. i know if i ever saw stuff in the sink, i would try to vacuum it out first, then use the plunger/snake for anything deeper
He's not an idiot...
If it made the seal it doesn't matter if there are orbeez there, if the orbeez interfered then it wouldn't make a seal.
@@lilkittygirl if there's a seal, then how are a bunch of orbees flying out of the sink
@@darkgtprince
Well since you're too dumb to understand simple concepts, let me help.
There is a seal made when applying the device. Water DOES NOT compress, so the pressure from the device needs to go somewhere.
The area between the device and the top orbeez is where the gas has area to compress to stabilize the pressure. If the pressure exceeds the devices capabilities, two things can happen. One, the orbeez gets pushed down or the deal of the device breaches and the pressure escapes.
So whatever is holding the strongest amount of force is going to maintain itself. In this case, the seal was weaker than the orbeez at holding the pressure. Thus the seal broke and it splashed everywhere.
Now go back to grade 6 and get an education about basic physics concepts. This isn't complicated.
@@lilkittygirl You don’t need to be such a douchebag about it at least.
the plunger was on upside down any way creating no seal
Edits are amazing, once again. Good work everyone. N
Now THIS is the kind of video I want RUclips to recommend.
Kinda did
8:00 You look as epic as my welding teacher when he accidentally misses up on a tutorial
What a Chad.
Even for his RUclips Video Filmed in private he still clarifies WHY he doesnt use the proper equipment.
A Plumber with Heart and Soul.
enjoying the really good editing the goes into your video keep up the good work
I've got an awesome team that makes these videos perfect!
I thought pluming was so boring and simple but watching your videos it makes it fun and interesting I love it keep it up
I just discovered this channel and I'm not a plumber, but man is this channel awesome!
Mate, this is a damn clever video. This little artist thoroughly enjoyed it! Maybe you could try what happens if you try to wash oil point down the drain, would the oil in oil paint mess things up?
Also, my guess would be that Orbeez have a slightly rubberish texture, I've never played with Orbeez so I wouldn't know, but my guess is the orbeeze expand, plus the rubberish friction would mean that product would stand little chance, but probably would work for something like hair. and basic things.
Nice video mate, and kudos to the editor :) loving the style.
“Plumbers don’t want to see this product! “ yeah because it sucks 😂
Howdy, Roger. Where you're talking about the downsides of that air tool, I agree completely, but I also have to comment that stuff like that does actually work, in some cases. I've seen it work. I've done it. But yes, the clog you've made there, seems too much.
Sad, really... I was looking forward to a cannon of orbeez.
Very well done and some great advice on safety
Lmmfao this classically hilarious 🤣 😆 😂 keep these coming pls 🙏
I always use my plunger and it’s called the
‘Handy Man Special’
I call mine Excalibur
Roger is so wholesomne🥺dude's got a good sense of humor
these videos can entertain me for days even though i don’t know anything about pluming
That clear P-trap is so cool. I'm considering buying them. Would make it much easier to tell where a clog is
RUclips clickbait spliced with empirical science. This guy's a genius.
So basically this product would just be one more failure for that French guy.
You're awesome and I'm glad I never bought these for my kids. I found you on pipe freeze prevent vid. Always done plumbing etc myself cause homeowner fun. But you're so great to watch. Thank you.
This went exactly how i expected it to🤣 love these videos Roger, cant imagine how many folks have wasted money buying these over priced cans of air
Seems to me that this is just a cheap and really crappy version of a kinetic water ram. I enjoy the content Mr. Wakefield!
I've used a very similar product called "one second plumber" when I used to work in maintenance at a hotel I've found it works well on a minor clog but stuff backing up and spraying you happens often and if its something moderate to really bad best to call a plumber and get it cleaned out properly.
The sound is hilarious!!! 🤣🤣🤣
That can of air looks like something meant for a car's AC.
If the shower or tub starts to clog then use your foot to compress in a downwards motion over the drain hole to create a down force reverse negative pressure.
What a boss mustache!
Just found your channel... this is good stuff!
Never thought id be watching videos about plumbing. But this is awesome, my new lifestyle lol
Glad you enjoyed them
re-do this please! ill buy a t shirt and hoodie from your shop if you do! :) If you choose to accept this challenge; you must clean up the orbs that the pipe regergitates back up. next wipe the area with iso alcohol or your fav hard liqour to remove the orb oil/slime from the drain so seal can be best as possible then proceed as you did in this video, good sir. You rock man!
People up vote so he can see challenge!
You mean like?
Their too used to reddit
Me: Think it's gonna unclug this very short lenght but obviously would never fix an entire piping.
Also me after watching: NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Not sure about orbeez, but as far as genuine kitchen sink clogs goes, last year, my sink was not draining, and the dishwasher was backing up into the sink. Got a similar product to this from supermarket after taking apart all accessible pipes revealed no immediate blockages, and me not having the funds to pay a plumber to dig deep into the walls to find the blockage, and it cleared it up within two shots. It was amazing. Maybe your issue with the orbeez was the sheer pressure created within the pipes across the entire diameter due to the amount of orbeez used? Had you used just enough orbeez to just loosely fill the U-bend (similar to a genuine kitchen blockage), it might have had a shot 😉
Instructions are very important: The one I had instructed you to fill the sink to the top of the headpiece, and to hold a wet towel against the overflow or garbage disposal if you have it. Basically to stop the jets of air going the wrong direction. Didn't even need an adapter to create a seal either.
My man make plumbing look fun
Try the Milwaukee air snake next!!
I know this is old now, but I was looking at one of your other videos and saw this one and had to watch.
One thing I was thinking of in your test here is that the As Seen On TV demonstration does indeed show air bubbles "blowing back" like you had, but they deliberately had their sink with 3-4" of water in the bottom. I believe this pressure of the water above the device would help make the seal better and may keep more of the force directed down the pipe. That, or you would blow way more water in your face. Anyway, just thought Id mention it.
exactly, it looks like 1" of water in the video, far from enough >:(
You know your dedicated to your job when you put a sink together and say your playing around ^^
This channel deserves so many more subs!
plumber's hero, more like oversized keyboard cleener
So the orbies preferred your real face over your paper face 😂
awesome vid! do more!!
Love your videos a great way to make plumbing awesome 😁😎👍💪
This is what happens at Taco Bell every night
Who is watching this after watching that French guy ruin his life cause of orbees
Finding your channel has been great. Love the sub reddit also. I fix technology issues but also donny fair share of random other repairs. Go plumbers!
I swear this dude is a comedian love it he’s like let me read the instructions Ha why would I do that 😎 to funny
I wish the clogs were only in the p trap ever. Never happens
This dude is a living and breathing Dad Joke and I am here for ittttttt
Great explanation!
You make plumbing look fun
Who's here after 'French Guy Detroys his life with Orbeez'

I worked in a Nursing Home and we had some thing close to this it was thicket used to make a residence drink turn in to apple sauce to much turned into concrete lol
Dude i love your content keep it up
I'll have to saw this one made me laugh out loud - well done
Roger, i swear you got the large attachment the wrong way round, surely you want the large foot on the bottom. otherwise, what you saw happens
Yeah, it kinda looks like a plunger.I feel like it's supposed to suction onto the sink, right?
7:15, and u broke your dewalts lol the second that crapy finish rusts those things r junkers
Milwaukee baby!
Watching this at 3 am loving it
never did i think i would watch this, never have i heard of this product, but i sure as hell loved this video
last
This video is recommended out of no where. I am now a expert in plumbing 😂😂😂
I really enjoyo learning through these videoes :)
Love learning you have a magnificent channel
