Great Video!

Thanks for sharing once again. Yes! Construction and remodeling my Dewalt Oscillating is a must. Not found of the cutter prices 😊

I'm a supervisor in a big plumbing supply chain in northern California, and I totally agree with your picks! Love your videos! Keep it up!

Always great to see the grumpy guy !!!

How do you feel about using shark bites in the wall? I had a really tight repair last week in a really old home did not want to risk torching to close to Old dried out attic wood

[@TheGrumpyPlumber]

I’ve used shark bites in attics and ceilings without a problem over ten years ago.

Michigan here with a temperature of 77 degrees outside for a change. It is always fun to watch Jim describe his plumbing trade. There is always something new to learn.

Most Excellent ¿

If you get the oscillating multi tool, get the Milwaukee Fuel models. Doesnt matter if its M12 or M18, the Fuel versions are much quieter and transmit less vibration to your hands. The non-Fuel versions are miserable to use. Even compared to Dewalts, Milwaukees are more pleasant to use.

I just invested in 2 ... wait for it ... pipe wrenches. The Ridgid 14" cast iron and Milwaukee's lighter-duty 10L (long handle, aluminum, smaller head.) Both are great, but most people will never need one today. I'm in a place with galvanized pipes we're slowly taking out. I'll buy a huge one if I'm here long enough to take out the steam pipes. Or a bigger sawzall.

Some tools you can rent from Home Depot.❤

[@melissasmess2773]

Basin wrench, too inexpensive to not own 😅

[@NorthwoodsAmerican]

I’m like Jim, I buy them but never get rid of them, can never have too many tools. Right angle drill with a hole saw attachment is another handy one👍🏼✌🏼🇺🇸

Here is all you need to know about loaning out your tools…Don’t ever loan out a tool you expect to receive back. That way, when it isn’t returned you won’t have any heartburn about it.

[@shorefire3747]

The Pro Press didnt make the list???

[@TheGrumpyPlumber]

It’s a great tool but for the homeowner, a little too expensive.

[@tumbleweed1976]

Buy the right tools. Screw up the project. Learn. Get better.

[@JamesBrown-db9pk]

Thanks Jim. If you don't believe me, ask your Rabbi. Thumbs up.

And don’t forget about the tool at the end of the job: 🍺 or 🍷 or 🥃 or 🍸....I mean the choices are endless! Probably also helps the Grumpy Plumber not be so grumpy at the end of the day. Boy, we both learned so much today!👍
