It happens to all of us, one day you go to turn off the hose and it just keeps dripping. That drip can cost you lots of money every year in wasted water, not to mention ticking off your better half who's had it on the honey-do list for the last 6 months. So, do you need to be a plumber to fix the faucet? No. It's so simple you can do it yourself.

~7 years later and this video is still helping people. Thank you for taking the time to make it and for helping everyday people better understand what the issue is, how to fix it, and why it's happening.
9 years now
Ten years now
IM going to try that tomorrow
A lot of guys explain this and they complicate the shit out of it. Thank you for making it simple
Amazingly, this is the only video I've found that addressed my exact problem. You'll still be helping hose owners in 2099!
Great video. I appreciate people who go slow and explain. One of the better DIY videos I've seen. Thanks!
agreed!!!

Due to your video, I was able to save $$ by not having a plumber come out, and I was able to fix it myself. THANK YOU!!!!
I watched this 10minutes ago and now, our faucet is no longer leaking!! THANK YOU!!!
Leaked for a year. 30 seconds to fix. Thanks!
Great video. Without actually seeing the used and new washers, I would never have known what the right replacement looked like. Also, I forgot (or never knew) that you could stop a stem leak by tightening the nut. Thanks!
I think this is still the most useful 3 minutes of video I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
I really appreciate getting the "why" and the "how" . Thanks!
This was a wonderful “do it yourself” video. Very articulate in explaining and demonstrating the process. Thanks!
Best how-to video for the novice I watched, thanks
Your video is the ONLY one I've seen that shows you can just tighten the top to fix the while-on leak. THANK YOU!! Fixed, and I don't need to buy anything, yet.
Thanks, your video just saved me a $500 plumber's bill!!
One more small project off my "honey do" list. Thanks!
You just saved me a TON of time and hassle....Thank you!
amazing. I was ready to replace the faucet but I watched your video and instead, just a trip to Ace and few cents and no more drip! Appreciate it.
Thank you so much for posting this video! The previous owners soldered the spigot to the water supply pipe and me thinking I needed to change the spigot, I was in a corner because I don't know how to solder. Tightening the packing solved the problem and you saved me $ and stress.
Thank you so much!
OMG! I have had a leaky stem forever, and you showed me how to fix that in about five seconds. A thousand thankyous!
I had a leaky faucet for months, was ready to buy soldering tools and coper pipe and replace the whole faucet, then I saw this and it worked like a charm, Thanks!!!!!
Just saved me professional plumbing costs!! Both bibs leaked and I thought it was likely the washer but I just tightened the nut nearer the top and viola! Wished I knew this last year lol.
It worked!!! The water doesn't spray out of the handle anymore!!! Thank you again!!!
Lots of videos cover the packing for the stem...this is the first I found for the gasket inside the valve. Thank you for covering both - I thought I'd have to replace the entire valve!
Thank you! This video saved me from making a phone call “weekend callout for a plumber” You got right to it and didn’t chat to the camera and your directions were clear. 😊
Thank you Brother! This is the 2nd time your video has helped me to fix a leaky spigot. We just needed to buy that small $3 stem washer & it was fixed! To fix it, I took off the stem & brought it in to Home Depot, to make sure the washer fit. Thanks again! Blessings to everyone! #WeNeedEachOther #TakeTimeToShareWhatYouKnow #ItWillBlessOthers #ThankYou
Just fixed mine with the help of this video. Thank you!!
Same here, I just fixed mine too - thank you!
The packing nut super simple fix worked!! I thought I needed to replace the whole thing! Thank you :)
Mindblown as well ! I was about to replace the whole thing. I actually feel stupid now lol
Thanks to you I fixed my own hose bib today! So empowering! Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this short video. Very helpful!👍
Wow! How simple this was. Thank you for teaching me this for free
Thank you for making this short and to the point. VERY helpful!
Amazing video! You uploaded it 7 years ago. It is in such a good quality and still helping me today.
Great video! The DIY RUclips community is the best!
This video saved the day!!! Thank you!!! The thumbnail is exactly what happened to us today and you saved us sooo much money! ❤
You just saved me $350. Thank you!
I'm really glad I found this video. My problem was leaking around the handle when I turned the water on (2:23). Thanks to this video I was able to fix it in about 10 seconds with a pair of pliers.
I've lived in this house for six years and my two hose bibs have been leaking when turned on the whole time. Five minutes after watching this, they're both fixed. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much. I am not a plumber and did not have to make a trip to Lowe's. I had the leak when I opened the faucet. I tightend the packing screw and it is all fixed.
Thanks! I know this is an old video but that trick to open the valve all the way and tighten the nut fixed the leak around that area saving me a trip to the hardware store.
Finally a video about a hose bib that looks like mine. The problem I have is that I cannot undo the top screw nor either of the lower nuts, they are all corroded on solid. All I might be able to undo is the nut holding on the entire hose bib. That is if liquid wrench will do its job.
I feel like the fix it lady all because of you. Thank you for doing this video.
Thank you so much, this help me fix my patio hose Bibb without replacing
Dude. The second problem in the video was the issue that I had. I used channel locks and fixed it just like you said! Killer quick and easy video. You're the man!
Dude you make it look soooooo easy.
Very good video with clear explanation and 'how to.' Didn't cover replacing stem or packing, but great on explaining washer replacement.
Thank you so much! Had a home inspection and was dreading having to have the hose bib replaced. What a simple fix.
Thanks so much! I've been putting this project for so long because I thought it was gonna be a lot more complicated. I appreciate the video!
After watching your video I took care of my water leak in two minute!!!...THANKK YOU for the tip!
This solved my leak problem ! I tightened the packing nut 1/4 turn and the leak was gone!
Been at my house for almost 2 years and my leak got fixed by tightening the nut. I didn’t realize it was that easy. Thank you!
Thank you for the video, one quick tight to the nut fixed the leak. Save me time and money from change the new faucet.
You resolved my long lasting problem in a min! Thanks!
Thank you. I seriously was thinking I had to replace the whole thing. But just tightened up the top and water doesn’t leak. Crazy.
Awesome video. The last piece of advice saved me from buying a new hose bib. Thanks!
Best DIY video, you help everybody save money. thank you
Thank you so much!!! I replaced both washers, but I still had water squirting up out of the faucet, I will have to try tightening the hex bolt tomorrow when it is light out. I had a lot of trouble getting the bonnet off at first. The builder of the house had completely painted the entire faucet. I couldn't even see the right thing to turn because of the paint, and the hard water deposits. I had to scrape the paint off with an exacto knife all around the hex, and I finally got it off!
Got a video on one that is 40 yrs old and won't budge
It's never as easy as they portray in these videos. Been working on mine for hours and I can't get the mechanism apart. Probably will turn into a $250 plumber job.

Your advice saved me time and money. Thank you!!
Thank you. Tightened the top. Zero cost
Awesome straight to the point! Very professional. Thank you!
Thank you so much! My foundation was starting to soak up too much water. This video helped me out so much!
Tightened packing nut and fixed both spigots. Thanks saved me replacing the whole thing
I thought I was going to have to take the whole thing apart to fix the leak at the handle until I saw the last few seconds of this video. THANK YOU! You saved me a lot of irritation and time!
The last step was a game changer. Thank you
Thank you very much for your professional and excellent instruction.
Thanks. This helped me a bunch. I had to replace the rubber washer at the bottom of the bonnet assembly.
Came across this after fixing the exact same unit. Tips for anybody…center brass screw may be rotted….either drill out or hit with PB blaster and vice grips. Secondly, cup to retain the washer may crumble…perfectly fine to dremel flat and matchup washer OD…good to go!
Great video. Just what I needed to fix leaky hose bib on my house. Bought 2 rubber washers (.70 cents) and repaired it right up. Thanks!
Successfully repaired it myself! Thank you so much for your help and clear explanation!
This was a wonderful “how to fix it yourself” video. Very article in explaining and demonstrating very detail. Thanks!
Thank you! Just what I needed.
Awesome. Straight and to the point, simple and clear instructions. This handyman novice appreciates you. Thank you! ✌️😎
Dude, you're awesome. Tightening the nut as mentioned about 2:30 in fixed my issue. Thanks!
thank you! That 2nd leak tip worked great for me!
Boy was I overthinking that! Thanks for the video you just saved me time and money!
very nice video. i like how its straight to the point with simple instruction. Great job!!!
Thank you for this info. All 3 of my exterior faucets leak. Now, I can fix myself. Much appreciated!
Every DIY video should be this clear and succinct. 3 minutes is perfect.
So easy, I thought you had to replace the bibb and we have a super old 1" that I couldn't find. I was thinking of getting a reducer and 3/4 bibb. Thanks!
This was so well done. Great video, explanation and well spoken. Excellent
Great, thank you! Just repaired my leaking tap with this very useful video - did not need to spend money on the packing - just had to tighten it!
I love Ryco because is the name of my Dog. And this is a cool plumber
Thanks! I had a leaking hose bib for several weeks and I was going to call the plumber, but after watching this video I fixed myself in less than 30 seconds
Didn't know the first thing about fixing a leaking hose bib. Saw the video twice (I am slow) and went out and fixed it.
Thanks for the short, clear, and well presented video on how to repair leaks at hose bibs. Mine was the 2nd problem leaking around the handle. I had envisioned a long drawn out repair. 1/2 a turn with a wrench and the leak was gone. Thanks again for the well done video.
Awesome! The second issue is what I came here to learn about. Thanks. 👍🏼
Thanks for posting this how to video. Just fixed one at my sister's house
Thanks so much that is exactly what was leaking on ours! Fixed it!
Thanks! It was as quick and easy as you made it look.
Thank you, straight to the point.
Thanks a lot for your video guide. It saves me a lot of money.
Thank you sooo much! I didn't think it could be that easy. It was the 2nd leak that you talked about that helped me out with my problem. Thank you
Great video. I’m having this exact same problem. I’ll give it a try. Thanks.
Thank you! Best faucet repair video!😊
Well explained. Thank you.
Great short video. Thanks for no fluff
Awesome video assistance Sir! Best part was around 1:50 into the video where he/you said....."now you tighten the screw THAT YOU DIDN'T LOSE...".
Sir...quit spying on me when I'm doing my plumbing work!!!!!
Yep, I'm that schmuck! Where did I set that effin screw down? For safe keeping! Doh
That worked for me. Just tightened that top nut and the leak stopped. Thanks ~
Thank you for this! Extremely helpful and a big money saver too!
10 years later and this video is still...
