He comes the next day, per our agreement and as he progresses he asks me for an extension cord and I'm thinking ????? and then he asked me for a Ladder ! ! ! He KNEW in advance what he came to my house to do. When he finished and handed me the bill I asked him seriously, 'How much is the discount for me supplying the tools.?

What a genuine twat. My can/toilet was full of foul shit, as it kept getting blocked. I had several council personal out to try and sort it. YES several, (the last guy) brought his stuff, new fittings etc, he rectified it. Now this matter is kinda different, because the few personnel before him, only brought a plunger and repeatedly tried to unclog it and try nothing else, best part is, they thought it was the paper I was using at the time that was clogging it, NO it wasn't, it was a main drainage issue, but during them trying to unclog it, you know one of them said???, you can get some toilet paper from X place. What a idiotic patronsing prat.
OMG Thank you for adding the "My Cousin Vinny " reference. My dad and I used to watch that movie all the time when I was growing up and we would laugh our asses off all the fucking time. One of the best movies of all time!
We had a leak in our roof. A friend recommended this roofer. The guy shows up and the first thing he asks me is if I had a ladder to get up on the roof? I looked at him and started laughing and told him to leave. What kind of roofer doesn't have a ladder?
Would have gave him the ladder and anything else he needed. Then when he gave me his bill, I would have given him my bill for the shit he rented from me. He would have ended up paying me for him to fix my roof.
@@PerfectChaosZeta An air ram isn't always safe to use on tub drains. If you have a moron (which is what it seems that guy was) they will over "charge" the air ram with air which could blow out the drain causing a larger repair.
On a tub start off with a simple drain cleaning tool (plastic wand with barbs on it) which will remove all the hair and gunk. Sometimes that's all you need. Next move on to the auger if needed. www.amazon.com/dp/B00OM31OOM/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_ks8SEbFAGZ3M6
Just imagine you've got a problem and you call a technion over to fix it. You've just got finished watching this video may I add. So the person gets there an the second thing they do is ask you for a tool they are supposed to have and you just bust out laughing. You start laughing so hard that you can't stop an the guy ask 'What's so funny.' which only makes you hold your stomach an laugh harder! 😂😂😂😂😀
And this folks is why I have learned to do everything myself. I've been there with these apes. Seriously. If a tradesman comes to my house to fix something I can't; which is very rarely; or I simply can't find the time and they start asking me for tools or basic equipment I say your done here get out. No pay for you. Open the door and escort them out.
No fucking wonder now I don't think I am a skilled guy with everything but can however do a lot n if I couldn't and got some one in n they started asking those kinda questions I really would tell them to fuck off, unreal how cheeky people can be when you are paying them money...
"Hey! We're here to put out your house fire. Got any hoses laying around?" The colors in that room are great, by the way. Is Lucy in charge of the paint?
A two prong will fit in a three prong extension cord. It's a 3 prong drill that does not fit in a two prong cord. A that point take the 3rd prong off the drill and ground yourself to it.
Did you at least get a discount for using your stuff? During a home remodeling project I noticed the carpenter was using my metal saw horses. I asked why, he said my metal horses were better than his plastic ones.
I think he made a mistake in his explanation, I think he meant to say he had a 3 prong drill plug and Vic gave him a 2 prong extension cord and he needed an adapter😊
I have had plumbers borrow pipe grips, electricians borrow screwdrivers, builders borrow stepladders, and yes plug converters, this is a global problem
I recently had a furnace person stop by for the annual check-up that they require to remain their customer .. I heard him say .. the tools weren't in the van .. the hvac couldn't find the tools .. he then mentioned that he'd be back in about an hour .. he told me, he accidentally left his service tool set-up at the previous job .. some in the basement next to the furnace .. and some outside by the air conditioner unit .. he told me he'd be right back. I'm pondering .. he must have had a hard previous night.
He's not a plumber he's a drain specialist. You have to be certified to be a plumber anyone can make an attempt to clean a drain no license needed. I love what you do
I worked in Apartment Maintenance years back, the company hired a new Maintenance Manager at the Apartments I worked at. On his first weekend on call, he calls me up and asked me if he could borrow my tools to take care of a emergency call he had at the Apartments. I asked him didn't he bring any tools with him. His reply was that he doesn't have any, that he didn't think he would have to do any maintenance work. I laughed at him and told him to get his own tools.
I work at a bottling plant and all the other trades guys borrow constantly. Extension cords , wrenches, sockets , impact driver, sledge hammers , saws and on and on. I set up a work table and left and the welders threw my stuff on the floor and took it over while I was gone. Their are no professional tradesman left
My son started working as a plumber for his first job. Two years of school and started at 13 bucks a hour. And he needs his own tools. Walmart starts at 11 bucks and no brains required. 13 bucks minus living cost. Minus transportation, minus 1/3 taxes. Not much leftover for tools. Most of these people starting this trade would be time and money ahead on welfare.
That is the problem when you start out. But he shouldn’t need tools when he starts because he should be working with a plumber for a while. His pay will increase significantly. I went from $10 to $33 per hour in 3 years.
This must be a stateside thing: can't imagine turning up at someone's house without all the tools I have, let alone the ones I know I'll need. Never heard of it happening to anyone else here in the UK either - I don't blame him for being pissed.
@Chris Ammar so you're gonna blame an electrician that doesn't have an extension cord and a plumber that doesn't have a plunger on the Mexicans? Are you serious? Nah you must definitely be joking 🤣
My plumber husband came out of the garage to hear your rant! He always has to bring EVERYTHING with him on a job and looked at me after watching this and said, "See?"
I’m an electrician. This is solid gold. I avoid home owners tools like the plague. The tools are normally terrible and I wouldn’t Want to be responsible should anything break. Both the plumber and the electrician are extremely unprofessional. For the record, both of them had the products on their truck but just didn’t feel like retrieving them. The plumber didn’t want to get his plunger wet and the electrician didn’t want to unroll a 100 foot extension cord. If they didn’t actually have the items on their truck then they are truly morons
yes, finish carpenter here. Never use homeowners tools. Dangerous ladders with screws missing 18g extension cords with bare wire showing. Used a step stool many years ago that collapsed like that old police car in the Blue's brothers movie. I only dropped 8 inches but I felt it right up my back.
I'm a plumber who doesent carry a plunger. If a plunger can fix your problem dont call me. I have snakes and augers. And tools to take your drains apart and fix/replace them.
What kind of plumber goes to chemical means right off the bat? What kind of plumber doesn't first check the waste shoe for hair, and then take out his 1/4" x 25' drain snake FIRST! F the plunger! It's a G.D. tub drain! Somebody mast have slapped the smart out of him when he was a baby. I'm not even going to touch the electrician issue.
That's like house cleaners who don't have a vacuum, a step stool, a mop, or other cleaning supplies. That's what we had at a recent move-out of one of our units. I lent her my vacuum cleaner, and she broke it.
Truly amazing. My farther never went into someone’s and did have what he needed to complete the job l, he even had his own broom to clean up when he was finished.
"Are these MAGIC grits?!" Love it, Vinny! :D Even worse, a two prong drill will fit into a three prong socket. It just won't be perfectly grounded. Something must be missing in the translation.
This reminds me of when I had to call to have a piece of adaptive equipment repaired many years ago, it was a device to move my leg after having knee surgery and the control box shorted out. The guy came out to fix it and he asked me and my younger brother if either one us had a tool kit. My brother said, "what the hell kind of repairman shows up to a job without his tools". We still ceack up about that over 20 years later.
I showed this vid to a professional plumber...he said no plumbers carry plungers...that's a homeowner tool. A plumber would fix that clog with a snake or a connetic ram.
Haha the temporary car shelter takedown guy was asking if I had a drill to remove the wood because he lost it at a client. I said forget that and we took it down ourselves.
Last time someone asked me to unclog a toilet there was shit in the bowl, I looked at the lady and said , sorry ma’am I don’t do poop. If you need a sink replace or a water heater replaced call a plumber. If your drain is clogged call a drain company.... I’m a master plumber, our company has one guy to unclog drains. Also you will save yourself a shit ton of money by calling a drain company vs a plumbing company. Rootorooter comes to mind. So in all honesty I’m not surprised a service plumber doesn’t carry around a plunger. Why would you want him to bring in a plunger , you don’t know where it’s been etc etc . Common sense .
I’ve never heard of a plumber not unclogging a drain. Unclogging a toilet is one of the easiest service calls you can make and more than not it’s a 10 minute stop at $120+ per service call I would rather drive around unclogging 30-40 toilets a day make $4,000-$5,000 than do an install of a sink to make $600-700. Plus you don’t know where it’s been?? It’s going into a toilet dude not someones kitchen table, if your afraid of a little feces you are definitely in the wrong business. Most GC’s will replace a sink and a lot will even do water heaters/toilets/showers but most won’t mess with a clogged drain unless it’s a stupid easy fix. This is what a plumber does, anything to do with plumbing.
I agree with you. I would call a drain cleaning service and I only do that to clear the main sewer line when it gets clogged as I'm not going to spend money on snakes that I don't want to keep in my basement to do a job I don't want to do and would rather pay someone. I have insurance through the water company and its a $50 flat fee to clear the sewer line and I have to get it done once every couple years. Money well spent. If the clog is in any of the drains before connecting to the main sewer line, i unclog those myself using augers, snakes or plungers depending on where the clog is. This is easy shit every homeowner should learn how to do, except the main sewer line which takes someone with a bit more experience and who's willing to deal with the smell and the mess. I would call a plumber to do anything related to sweating pipes or replacing sections of bad piping on the hot cold supply, or replacing a water heater. Installing faucets and sinks is easy, even installing toilets aren't that bad, so i do that stuff myself and never had problems. I know my limits though and that's important.
Clinton Shorrock That’s why you don’t call a plumber to plunge a toilet. Every home owner should know how to do that, usually it’s a deeper clog than that and setting up a snake and travel and time the charges start at $120 and that’s cheap. I’m saying I would love someone to call and pay that for me to plunge a toilet for 10 minutes of my time I’ll be rich. This guy is complaining about that kind of call, I would take them all day long but they don’t come in that often. Usually people that don’t worry about money or people who don’t Know how or don’t want to know how in which case they can pay $120.
Vegeta Is Better Than Goku All I’m saying as a plumber , I do new construction commercial, I do service from time to time when it’s slow, I don’t carry around a plunger, I have one at home. We don’t plunge toilets lol , I’ll come in with a snake if need be , but your toilet better be free of shit or I won’t work on it. Our company has 80 plumbers and we have one drain and he’s usually busy locating underground piping for our service remodeling, 9 times out of 10 we refer people to a drain company..Rootorooter comes to mind. If a plumber ask for your plunger, I’m guessing he’s trying to fix the problem with minimal cost to you.
Chris Cary So your company does mostly installs and large projects. I gotcha you made it just sound like you went to a routine service call and hit the road, if you don’t do normal service calls than that’s fine, you should’ve never been called out there to begin with. I get what ur saying but I still wouldn’t turn down easy money man, you will come across crap quite a few times and it can’t bother you or you’ll have a shitty day 😂.
We had a guy who was supposed to get squirrels out of our attic... HE DIDN'T BRING A LADDER. So instead of fixing the hole in the roof, he just put some traps on the tree outside. I'M LIKE, "BRO, OF COURSE YOU ARE GOING TO CATCH SQUIRRELS BUT YOU AREN'T GOING TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM!!"
Hey Vic... I'm a Handyman & not a specific plumber and/ or electrian but I carry 3 kinds of plungers as well as 4 different lengths of extension cords (25'-100')!
A device with a two-pronged plug will easily fit into a three-pronged extension cord with ease. Puzzling. If the drill was three-pronged, and the extension cord was two pronged, then you would have a problem.
David Hefner, I think Vic misspoke. I’ve never seen a two prong drill, and most homeowners have the cheap, two prong extension cords with two or three outlets on the end.
This video put me over the edge (I cried with laughter too!). I have loaned my tools to almost EVERY "professional" who has come to our house to do work. I'm NEVER going to do it again. I literally have to take inventory when they leave to make sure they don't walk off with my stuff. Have you ever had a roofer who doesn't have a ladder? I have. Have you ever had an electrician install a hot tub circuit and didn't have a GFCI? I have. Have you ever had a car smash into your house, and the insurance and engineer says to replace the entire wall and the guy shows up with three 2 by 4's, a hammer and a boom box? I have (that one got fired on the spot). Never again will I loan out my stuff, not even an extension cord or flashlight...….
I'm a handyman, and the first and basic thing that's literally ALWAYS in my van, is an extension cord. Some of the other tools and materials in my van may differ depending on the job i got to do but the extension cord is ALWAYS in the van.
Mr.Dibitetto, I once helped a plumber being foolish to change the sink pipes in a bathroom. He kept asking for stuff an still charged full price, I was young an it was in my grandparents home. It was a joke! I understand. You need to just drop them once they ask for something!
Cop: "You're under arrest. Do you have any handcuffs"?
ahahahahahaahaha!!!!!
Aha, but sad news for ya. In some cases, you won't be put in them, when apprehended ;).
Why sure officer. You can borrow my set of cardboard cuffs. And actually, just go ahead and hang onto those.
@ ZACK MORRIS....EXACTLY!!🤣🤣🤣
Best comment!
Electrician -Here's my bill for $100
Me- you got $100 I can pay you with? I don't carry money with me

That's a good reply
Hang on, $100 for a sparky? No way they'd be that cheap

Yeah, that dude would be leaving my house or job site with his tail between his legs after I was done with him
Shouldn't it be ok? The other way around would be the problem.
A two prong will fit in a three prong extension cord. It's a 3 prong drill that does not fit in a two prong cord. A that point take the 3rd prong off the drill and ground yourself to it.
@Robert,exactly! Where the hell do they get these schleps??
I'm guessing Vic got it backwards.

Did you at least get a discount for using your stuff?
During a home remodeling project I noticed the carpenter was using my metal saw horses. I asked why, he said my metal horses were better than his plastic ones.
You can put a two prong in a three pronged extension one blade is larger than the other so it only fits one way.
I think he meant extention cord with 2 prongs and for some weird reason the electrician had a cord coming off his tool with 3 prongs.
I think he made a mistake in his explanation, I think he meant to say he had a 3 prong drill plug and Vic gave him a 2 prong extension cord and he needed an adapter😊
Nice Rocky shirt. You are absolutely right about the nuckelheads you had to put up with.

If you need a sink replace or a water heater replaced call a plumber. If your drain is clogged call a drain company.... I’m a master plumber, our company has one guy to unclog drains. Also you will save yourself a shit ton of money by calling a drain company vs a plumbing company. Rootorooter comes to mind. So in all honesty I’m not surprised a service plumber doesn’t carry around a plunger. Why would you want him to bring in a plunger , you don’t know where it’s been etc etc . Common sense .
I’ve never heard of a plumber not unclogging a drain. Unclogging a toilet is one of the easiest service calls you can make and more than not it’s a 10 minute stop at $120+ per service call I would rather drive around unclogging 30-40 toilets a day make $4,000-$5,000 than do an install of a sink to make $600-700. Plus you don’t know where it’s been?? It’s going into a toilet dude not someones kitchen table, if your afraid of a little feces you are definitely in the wrong business. Most GC’s will replace a sink and a lot will even do water heaters/toilets/showers but most won’t mess with a clogged drain unless it’s a stupid easy fix. This is what a plumber does, anything to do with plumbing.
I agree with you. I would call a drain cleaning service and I only do that to clear the main sewer line when it gets clogged as I'm not going to spend money on snakes that I don't want to keep in my basement to do a job I don't want to do and would rather pay someone. I have insurance through the water company and its a $50 flat fee to clear the sewer line and I have to get it done once every couple years. Money well spent. If the clog is in any of the drains before connecting to the main sewer line, i unclog those myself using augers, snakes or plungers depending on where the clog is. This is easy shit every homeowner should learn how to do, except the main sewer line which takes someone with a bit more experience and who's willing to deal with the smell and the mess. I would call a plumber to do anything related to sweating pipes or replacing sections of bad piping on the hot cold supply, or replacing a water heater. Installing faucets and sinks is easy, even installing toilets aren't that bad, so i do that stuff myself and never had problems. I know my limits though and that's important.
Clinton Shorrock That’s why you don’t call a plumber to plunge a toilet. Every home owner should know how to do that, usually it’s a deeper clog than that and setting up a snake and travel and time the charges start at $120 and that’s cheap. I’m saying I would love someone to call and pay that for me to plunge a toilet for 10 minutes of my time I’ll be rich. This guy is complaining about that kind of call, I would take them all day long but they don’t come in that often. Usually people that don’t worry about money or people who don’t Know how or don’t want to know how in which case they can pay $120.
Vegeta Is Better Than Goku
All I’m saying as a plumber , I do new construction commercial, I do service from time to time when it’s slow, I don’t carry around a plunger, I have one at home. We don’t plunge toilets lol , I’ll come in with a snake if need be , but your toilet better be free of shit or I won’t work on it. Our company has 80 plumbers and we have one drain and he’s usually busy locating underground piping for our service remodeling, 9 times out of 10 we refer people to a drain company..Rootorooter comes to mind. If a plumber ask for your plunger, I’m guessing he’s trying to fix the problem with minimal cost to you.
Chris Cary So your company does mostly installs and large projects. I gotcha you made it just sound like you went to a routine service call and hit the road, if you don’t do normal service calls than that’s fine, you should’ve never been called out there to begin with. I get what ur saying but I still wouldn’t turn down easy money man, you will come across crap quite a few times and it can’t bother you or you’ll have a shitty day 😂.
You make my day real people
Bathtub clog is a 1/4 inch cable machine, no chemicals. You sure you didn't hire a handyman lol
We had a guy who was supposed to get squirrels out of our attic... HE DIDN'T BRING A LADDER. So instead of fixing the hole in the roof, he just put some traps on the tree outside. I'M LIKE, "BRO, OF COURSE YOU ARE GOING TO CATCH SQUIRRELS BUT YOU AREN'T GOING TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM!!"
Vic you need a hug mate, keep up the honest truth
YOU NEED TO GET TONY GAGA ON THE CASE!!!!!!!!
Hey Vic... I'm a Handyman & not a specific plumber and/ or electrian but I carry 3 kinds of plungers as well as 4 different lengths of extension cords (25'-100')!
A device with a two-pronged plug will easily fit into a three-pronged extension cord with ease. Puzzling. If the drill was three-pronged, and the extension cord was two pronged, then you would have a problem.
Exactly. And I'll add I never heard of a 3 prong into 2 prong adapter, because they don't exist. No reason to exist.
I was wondering that myself. That's another level of dumb. If he meant that
You can can put a two prong drill into a three way extention cord.
David Hefner, I think Vic misspoke. I’ve never seen a two prong drill, and most homeowners have the cheap, two prong extension cords with two or three outlets on the end.
This video put me over the edge (I cried with laughter too!). I have loaned my tools to almost EVERY "professional" who has come to our house to do work. I'm NEVER going to do it again. I literally have to take inventory when they leave to make sure they don't walk off with my stuff. Have you ever had a roofer who doesn't have a ladder? I have. Have you ever had an electrician install a hot tub circuit and didn't have a GFCI? I have. Have you ever had a car smash into your house, and the insurance and engineer says to replace the entire wall and the guy shows up with three 2 by 4's, a hammer and a boom box? I have (that one got fired on the spot). Never again will I loan out my stuff, not even an extension cord or flashlight...….
Are these magic grits? 🤣🤣🤣 Nice My Cousin Vinny quote 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's like being a teacher and not having lesson plans for their students. Lol.
Magic grits! I love that movie!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you, Vic. I had that experience. 😂😂😂 I'm dead.
It happen to me too, my wife and I asked the same thing how come they don’t carry their tools
One of Your BEST..
I'm a handyman, and the first and basic thing that's literally ALWAYS in my van, is an extension cord. Some of the other tools and materials in my van may differ depending on the job i got to do but the extension cord is ALWAYS in the van.
Another great video. Keep it up Vic. Awesome!!!!!
Mr.Dibitetto, I once helped a plumber being foolish to change the sink pipes in a bathroom. He kept asking for stuff an still charged full price, I was young an it was in my grandparents home. It was a joke! I understand. You need to just drop them once they ask for something!
Thats a tactic to get you to back the fuck off.
It started with you standing over thier shoulder didn't it?
its like a soldier showing up to battle without ammunition.
Vic you just got a taste of today's work ethic. It's in the shitr.
A two prong plug will ALWAYS fit into a three prong outlet 😂
