Being one who records whilst they work and edits in the twilight hours. I know the difficulties and how much effort goes into making these videos. Material like this is undervalued. Education has changed so much with RUclips. Society are gaining the equivalent of a RUclips plumbing degree. It's good when it's used for something positive like making individuals better engineers. Onsite experience is vital as well as real qualifications. Yet this media stream and experience passed on is helping nations strive to better engineering standards. It would have been a game changer if I had some of these videos when I initially qualified as a plumber 13 years ago. There was hardly anything like this to watch. It's great that the information is there for those that are thirsty to grow in their knowledge of the trade.
Apprentice fits pipe incorrectly, supervisor starts removing their belt...
LOLLL
😂
Imagine the transcript of the trial,
Deffendant; " I removed my belt to separate a pipe fitting, time was of the essence, the fact that I exposed myself to my student was purely accidental, Your Honour."
It's political correctness gone mad! Hahahaha
I’m dead
I am 74 and learned a lot about plumbing from my grandpa. He was a plumber until he died. I am also a Tool and Die maker and have made just about anything you can think of but I always like to learn new tricks. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I worked at Arizona State University for 20 years In the Physics and Astronomy Instrument Shop basically a very hi tech shop. I taught some of the younger kids many tricks I learned over the years and am always eager to learn new tricks. That is what makes a good craftsman a good one, you gotta know the tricks of the trade. I always appreciate learning these sorts of things. Most younger kids have never made anything or worked on their own car. Hell I used to pull transmissions out by getting under them on the ground and pulling them out on my chest. Well anyway I always appreciate the neat things that people do to make the job not just easier but doable. Thanks again and keep up the good work. I loved the teflon tape thing and the hole saw trick.

By the way I have personally made parts for three Mars missions and actually have parts setting on Mars that I machined while at ASU and some on the Mars Global Surveyor that is circling the planet Mars. Been around the block a few times.
Check out my channel. ruclips.net/channel/UCa2M7xSoC4NkG_dgPQW4N5g
When using Teflon tape, leave the first thread clear and it will thread on a lot easier.
Bloody hell, a tips and tricks video that actually taught me something worth knowing.
Good to hear, I am glad the video was able to leave you with something, if you can please share with your friends, it's always greatly appreciated :)
My thought exactly! Possibly the only one on RUclips.
Thx buddy!! Please share ;)
Exactly.
Thanks!
Rapid fire, no nonsense tips and tricks that actually ARE tips and tricks!! Fantastic!!
Great to hear! I'd love if you can share with your friends and family, it would help keep this channel running healthy, thx again!!
AND I didn't have to hear the word... HACK!
I just learned more quick, practical solutions in 6 minutes and 45 seconds than in the last 20 years. Bravo and thank you!
Love hearing that, mission accomplished for both of us, cheers!!!
Apparently you don't pay attention to what's going on around you at work !
@@kennethjohnson2967 I don't work in the trade. Just a fan and a DIY guy. But good job identifying as a tool.
@@marathonfreak67 hopefully you have one or two little tricks you figured out for yourself?
@@sally6457 No one knows the tricks I know!
For 34 years I've been plumbing and heating only just under half of what was in this upload I'd worked out the rest is just pure genius! It just proves the old saying "You Never Stop Learning"
Thank you so much for what you've just shown in this upload
Comments like these make my day, thank you so much, please share :)
@@Got2Learn I will definitely!
I'm in the UK based in London Eng age 46 and theres No youngsters that are following into the trade behind anyone over the age of 35? Is it the same over in the US?
Its good in one respect as the money is good, supply and demand, but worrying as I understand the UK is not the only Nation effected by a overall trade skills shortage,
I'm trying to encourage any youngsters I meet
That's nice off you. I got badly hurt at the age of 19....did it till I was 27 and stopped. It's not an easy job man...you need to be top shape to do it :(
@@Got2Play if you think you need to be in top shape to be a plumber you have not seen many plumbers
If you are a "hard working" plumber you need to be in shape ;)
Ive been plumbing for ten years and in one hit you’ve just showed me several tips that will improve my work rate and skills ten fold , thank you 🙏🏼
🤟🤟🤟😉
It is so nice to see the amount of comments from people, with decades of experience, learning from this video.
I have never done work on plumbing, stumbled upon this channel from the recommendations.
I'll see when life sends me back here to help me with my baptism in plumbing
Glad it was helpful!!!
OMG, the 2nd trick about the upsizing a hole that's too small is GENIUS! I literally just did this yesterday, I wish I would've watched this! You got a subscribe out of me just for that. I've done this twice in my life and both times totally screwed up the job because the bit kept jumping out of my hands...
🤠🤠🤠
Outstanding Job! I have been doing home repairs on my house for 40 years, and I didn't know a lot of these tips. This kind of knowledge is not found in any book. It comes from years of experience of experts doing this stuff over and over, and finding a better, easier way of doing it. Pure gold!
:)
Clever idea using two hole saw blades on one arbor so the smaller one centers the drill for the bigger one! Another good idea to drill a hole in a piece of plywood using the required holesaw, then clamp it over the area where you want to drill the hole to stop the drill moving around. I've used this trick several times. This is really good when you don't want the larger hole exactly centered over the smaller one, or if you want to make an oval hole using the same size holesaw by joining 2 holes together. This also works for diamond tile drills, and in fact I've made up a small plywood template which I keep with my tile drills.
Been in the oilfield for almost 40 years doing hook ups of all kind and I actually learned a few trick here, fantastic
Awesome!
"Substract" LOL! The enthusiasm and excitement in this guy's voice is so contagious, though, that it all sounds cool! GREAT VIDEO! I learned a lot, thanks!! The most-helpful for me was how to fix the out-of-round pipe with a wrench... I'm not a plumber, but I can use that tip in other fields.
Great to hear! I'd love if you can share with your friends and family, it would help keep this channel running healthy, thx again!!
I am just learning to solder copper pipe, you gave me great ideas and tips. Thank you and excellent video, look forward to your next one.
Nice job! Most people would drag out one trick for 5 minutes and waste everyone’s time. Thanks for not doing that!
My pleasure, please share if you can it helps make the channel grow!
Monte Stu you
Fuxs yea that's what's up my guy
Yeah this was refreshing to watch if anything he could've slowed down. Appreciated.
Always. Work smarter. Not harder.
After 50 years in plumbing there were some great tips here. One never knows it all!!
Been a plumber for 15 years and I learned a few new tricks!! Thanks for some plumbing tips!!
You bet, thanks @Eric Desbiens!!!
As a former licensed plumber I used all these at some point on the job. There's a ton more.. tips and tricks are always the best part of any trade.
Fantastic suggestions. I've run into a number of these issues and in fact was just trying to come up with a way to make a larger hole with a hole saw after a smaller hole has already been cut. Glad I stumbled onto your video!
Thanks a lot Rich, very heart warming, please like and share the video if you can it helps keep the channel healthy ;)
3:25... since when do plumbers wear belts?
It all helps if you are a 70+woman :) thank you Derek x
We all wish you guys would. They’re not expensive.
LMAO down to my crack....Y🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😅
They dont, its in the toolbox
I think you meant 3:16
Perfect video , Nice tips , Im a spanish plumber i have 28 years old and i know all this tips except a pair of them , thx to my plumber family Grandfather and 3 uncles we love this profession! Thx for this dude , greetings from Spain!
My pleasure man, glad you liked it, don't forget to subscribe and share, it helps a lot :)
I don’t ‘like’ many videos, but this one had a thumbs up. As a tradesman who’s been doing this for over 30 years, this old dogs learned a few new tricks. Every days a school day 👍
Awesomeeeee!!!
I wish there was a video like this for everything in life. No BS, just quick quality tips.
Great to hear! I'd love if you can share with your friends and family, it would help keep this channel running healthy, thx again!!
Lol I love the idea of the belt on the pipe. Some apprentice making a mistake is going to be all kinds of nervous when he sees his senior taking his belt off to correct that mistake hahah. Great video!
👌👌👌
I love how much content you cover in such a short time, too many other videos stretch things out.
I’ve been surfing the web for more than an hour today, yet I was unable to find any stunning videos like this one. It’s alluringly worth it for me. Keep posting more such amazing videos.
Wow, thank you!
Wait, what?! An informative video that didn't waste 5 minutes on small talk and had lots of useful tips in a short space of time? Judging by most videos I think RUclips will demonetize this asap.
Great to hear! I'd love if you can share with your friends and family, it would help keep this channel running healthy, thx again!!
Good to hear, thx!
LMAO!!! How right you are man!!!!!
For some strange reason it seems like RUclips is never for you. More like Themtube.
90% genius 10% dubious. That's the best ratio I've seen on any tips and tricks vid video!
Thank you buddy, please share if you can it greatly helps ;)
Top class tips. I do all my own plumbing and LOVED the one about filing out the inside of a straight coupler for when there is no movement in the gap between the pipes. How many times have I struggled with that one 😂😂. Thanks!
🤘🤘🤘
Very useful tips, fast delivery, no egotistical padding - this is how RUclips should be used, many thanks.
Great to hear! I'd love if you can share with your friends and family, it would help keep this channel running healthy, thx again!!
I'm not a plumber, but that was cool as hell.
Thanks a lot Rex, please like and share the video if you can it helps keep the channel healthy ;)
Great advice! Another cool trick to removing shark bites is, take a plastic bag and wrap it around the pipe twice and start to pull it off using a flossing motion toward the shark bite. Works well when the stub outs are too close to the wall and you can’t get a adjustable wrench behind the shark bite
Great tip! I'll add this trick to my next "plumbing tricks" video, keep an eye out ;)
This hands down the best no BS straight info and tricks. Keep it up mate. World needs people like you. RUclips double this man’s right for extra allowance 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
New apprentice plumber here and nobody I work with has taught me any of the these tips or tricks. You got a new subscriber!
Awesome, thank you!
There were so many great ideas, I'll never remember them all. But I won't forget your tips on using the smaller hole saw inside the larger hole saw for when we make the wrong sized hole.
I know, it's super useful, thanks buddy, don't forget to share!!!
That is also the one that really stuck out to me as well. Thanks.
Yeah that was the one that got me. I can't believe I never thought of that before. It's probably hard to get the small one off if it gets torqued on too hard, but it's a great idea for just starting the larger hole.
Nice tip
Agreed. That one was genius 👍
The belt one was super clutch. Thanks man
As a plumber I knew all of these but one, but I work with people who have been doing this for 40 years+. The fact I learned anything was impressive. Thumbs up, I could also teach you some nice ones you missed.
Thanks man, any new tricks are well appreciated Nick, have a great day!
More informative than expected! Concise and to the point. I love how there's no wasted time, fluff, or overly-annoying music.
One pet-peeve: "Lever"? -Most who've ever turned a wrench say "Cheater" (On the U.S. West Coast, anyway) -We've all been using pipes over ratchets, breaker bars, and wrenches, for leverage, ever since they were invented.
great tips, thanks. Loved the ones for the wrong size hole cutter!
Thanks a lot meme, please like and share the video if you can it helps keep the channel healthy ;)
Yes I have had this problem , too bad I didn't see the video before it happened !!
This is the best all around handy man tips and tricks video I have ever seen. Please post more!
I have more to come! Please share it really helps the channel out ;)
Nothing gets more excited than videos about plumbing
Great video. I'm a 30 year kitchen and bath remodeler, and there were even a couple I hadn't thought of. Well done!
Cool !!!! Please share, it helps a bunch:)
I use the tape one daily. Makes me wonder how I ever did it before seeing your other video.
Been a plumber for 40 years and these are all familiar tricks except I never thought about wiping off the flux on an inverted joint ....Installing a boiler tomorrow...I will give it a shot...Thank you.
Don't wipe off too much or you won't be able to solder your joint! ;)
I do all my inverted joints on the vice first.
So do I, espesially on 3" and 4" copper
I am loving these videos, learning never stops. I had to pause and run down to my basement and check my tubing cutter for the spare blade, lol mine didn't (25-30 yrs. old) but I have a spare. Great content and presentation !
Heheee, thanks man!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Woke up this morning looking for a worthwhile video to watch while drinking my coffee. I happened to come across yours. Wow, what a treat! Thanks for all the awesome hacks. PS Thanks for diving right in instead of giving long and annoying intros, as many people do. PSS I just hope I remember all these tricks when I need them. lols
Lovely, thanks so much for your kind comment !!!
Man I've been in the trade for at least 20 years and every time I watch your channel I learn something new every time thanks for the videos

Best video I've seen in a while. Much thanks!
Thanks a lot Mike, please like and share the video if you can it helps keep the channel healthy ;)
Deffo been doing this a long time, that's just ingenuity at it's finest or plain ole common sense...THANKS!
I have learnt some tricks today that even in 40 years of practice I wasn't aware of , totally brilliant , thanks .
Thanks for the tips! Great stuff for the DIY homeowner to know.
Thank a lot Jennifer, I really appreciate it ;)
Great tips, can use some of these as an electrician. I always try to learn from other trades, thanks buddy.
Thx, really appreciate your comment, you don't have to but if you can share it, that would be very nice of you ;)
Wow! I have seen alot of tips and tricks videos, but this one is one of the most helpful thus far. Straight and to the point. Great job.
;)
This was the best diy video I’ve ever seen. Straight and to the point tips. Awesome!!!
🤘🤘🤘
The drill tip for drilling holes is great wish I knew that earlier, would have saved my wrists from the pain lol. thanks for the tips I'm an apprentice plumber at the moment and plan to run my own business within ten years.
Wow holy crap...these tricks I needed years ago....better late than never....thank you !!!!!!!
I've been plumbing 18 years and never knew about some of these... definitely going to try some of them
😇
Awesome and well executed video, straight to the point and I don't think I've ever gotten so many useful tips out of 1 single video! Thanks
Great to hear! I'd love if you can share with your friends and family, it would help keep this channel running healthy, thx again!!
For the homemade inside cutter you can also use your hole saw bit to cut through a piece of Steel stud and use the plug that you cut out as your piece instead of a washer the problem with that though is that your hole is going to be too small to stick 3/8 Rod through you'll have to make the center hole a little bigger but I am done this trick and it actually Cuts better than my inside cutter because of the larger diameter of wheel
These tips are bloody good.
I'm a commercial hvac guy for 20+ years, these are legit! Thank you
Awesome!!!
As an old plumber I used all these tips for years. Very good!
Thanks a bunch :)
I wish you existed in every discipline. This is great!
😇😇😇
I love watching absolute quality videos A+ buddy
Brilliant stuff! I will need to watch this a few more times to get the hang of these!
Great to hear! I'd love if you can share with your friends and family, it would help keep this channel running healthy, thx again!!
The pencil trick with the teflon tape worked perfectly and looked great. Thank you!
1st class the best I've seen, filed it on favs for future reference. thanks
Thanks a lot Bill, please like and share the video if you can it helps keep the channel healthy ;)
Excellent video, Thank you !
Great to hear! I'd love if you can share with your friends and family, it would help keep this channel running healthy, thx again!!
Two of your tips saved my butt more than once! Thank you for sharing the knowledge!!
My pleasure bud ;)
I know the ones he said use Vaseline did
Fantastic! - from a DIY plumber for many decades.
My pleasure man, glad you liked it, don't forget to subscribe and share, it helps a lot :)
Put a nut on the threaded rod before cutting then run the nut off after cut to straighten threads.
Good tip, thanks for the input ;)
Nice!
That's what I've been doing for the past 30+ years
Let's say you want to cut a 70cm rod and the rod is 2m long from the shop. Now you have to thread the nut in for 70cm!! That takes the whole day! I use a tool that's meant to clean up the bad threads after cutting.
That's what I usually do to :)
LOL i have a pipe spliter and didn't know about spare cutting wheel LOL Thanx. great video tips, first 2 videos new to me, the 3rd one with figuring pipe offset, yep I knew that one from math. inner pipe cutter and vertical joint soldering, thanx for those. I Like, OLE!
Thank you for the great comment fvrrljr, please share the vid if you can it helps make the channel grow ;)
nvr knew about the spare cuter ether lol nice thnx
Now you know :)
Not all copper cutters come with an extra cutting wheel.Only the quality ones do.Ridgid of coarse and Lennox does to.But if u bought a cheap piece of shit,u know the one u biught so cheap u thought if it gives me 1 good cut it was worth it.They dont have extra wheels.
Ouch..
Excellent, common sense on-the-job solutions to REAL problems (and time savers). Cheers!
Thanks for the great comment buddy, really appreciate it, i'd love if you can share it that would be awesome :)
You've got really good videos. I've been watching all of them. Thank you.
Thank you so much man!
I am not a plumber, although I have done a few things around the house, but I enjoyed the video tremendously! It was both useful and entertaining. Thanks for posting!
Awesome comment, thanks for that!! ;) +++
1:40 "voilà, you are back on the ROD"
Great joke!
I knew someone one day would catch on ;)
You are a DYI Genius. Thank you so much for these tips. They helped me a ton!

@@Got2Learn My baby sister's Husband is a Master Plumber, but lives far away and actually the only good advice he ever gave me anyway was something I already knew, but not from the experiences of a Plumber. 'Never Bite Your Fingernails" ! hahaha
great tips. like how you get straight to it and not long winded. my favorite is the pipe tape on a pen. don't know how many times that would've been nice.
Great to hear! I'd love if you can share with your friends and family, it would help keep this channel running healthy, thx again!!
Just a handyman, some things I hope to remember. Thanks for the video.
;)
lots of good stuff!...I have an International Master plumber License with 32 years in the trade
and I use many of these as second nature! The tip about making an internal pipe cutter is secret gold to us plumbers!......have fun G>
Can you do the blackbelt trick?
They were some really good trips and tips. Will have to use them.
Great ideas!! These tricks are actually helpful for each n every person who is working in the filed of plumbing. Time saving tips and quick tricks for insertion of pipes for bathrooms, kitchens and toilets give us major goals to follow them. I have visited West End Plumbing of Sunrise, FL, whose professionals were so quick and intelligent that within 15 minutes they resolved my plumbing issues which i was facing from long time. Trusted Plumbers of Sunrise: West End Plumbing
Awesome, love hearing that!!!
Mate!! Not one idea that is not useful. You are a legend!
Thanks a lot Greg, please like and share the video if you can it helps keep the channel healthy ;)
these were actually some really useful tips! Of course there are a few that are well known. Like wrapping your pipe tape in the correct direction. I liked the one where you used your tape measure as a support for the pipe. That’s genius.
Thanks a lot p0tat07, please like and share the video if you can it helps keep the channel healthy ;)
Never wrap teflon tape any closer than one complete thread from the end; this will prevent scrap pieces from entering the line and fouling any tight or screened orifices.
Best tips video EVER! No BS, just tips, and a lot of them too! I feel like your video has made up for hundreds of other click bait videos I've watched claiming "life changing life hacks" only to see 47 craft ideas!
Thank you!
What a great comment!! If you'd like to help spread the word, you could share it around, it helps me a lot ;)
Always trying to help out a fellow RUclipsr!!!
Thanks buddy ;)
THANK YOU !! for keeping it short and very informative !!! Got a new subscriber and thumbs up.
Awesome!!! Thanks ;)
You had me at make your own inner pipe cutter. Bloody Jeanyus!
Thanks a lot Bob, please like and share the video if you can it helps keep the channel healthy ;)
Genius... (SMH)
Hehe funny way of writing it huh lol?!
“Go get me some bubble fluid and a left handed pipe wrench boy!”
Great video!
You need a sky hook and a pipe stretcher tell the new guy it's deep in the tool box. Best way to get the tool box cleaned
thanks mate ... you had few very good tricks...
Most people use flexible aloy&plastic hoses now for residential plumbing on this side of the world at least.
Thanks buddy, I appreciate your comment ;)
I've been doing plumbing installations and repairs off and on for 45 years and wish I would have know some of these tricks. Would have saved me many headaches and time. Thanks
So nice to hear, tjanks for tge great comment buddy!!
Short and 2 the point. Love it.
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate it ;)
Bernoullis principle at the end there. Thats really cool though.

Great job. 30 PLUMBING TRICKS.
🤘🤘🤘
I got a couple more for you. If you use teflon and pipe dope and the pipe dope gets messy, put the pipe dope on the threads first and the teflon over it, no more mess. If you use a saw to cut your pipe and always have a rough edge and you don't have a chamfer tool handy, take a fitting of the same size and roll the outside edge of the pipe inside the hub of the fitting at a 45°angle to take down the edge and make it smooth before gluing it together. Awesome video by the way
Wiw, thx so much for the tips buddy, i'll definitely take these into consideration, have a great weekend!!
Magnetic tip on a measuring tape, will be making my own, thank you!
Wow, a rare to the point and ingenious video where as a seasoned tradesmen I learnt a new trick or two. 10 out of 10 mate.
Thanks Max, so nice to hear comments like yours ;)
Excellent! I've had most of these problems and wish i had known these things then. Thanks.
My pleasure Jim, I am glad I could be of any help :)
