Fixed my problem! My faucet is the Trinsic Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet With Touch2O Technology in case anybody else is googling that name, and the process to tighten the handle was exactly as listed here.

Thanks for sharing

[@MarcosOrtiz-em8pe]

Thank you you are so clear and precise I actually fixed mine about six months ago it loosened again and I used your video to retighten it it is perfect thank you so much....

[@longwayhome5569]

Glad it helped

[@KoljaMineralka]

I had this loose handle fall into the sink 50 times probably,,, broke half of my dishes and cups...and finally I was able to fix it today. Thx to you!!!

[@longwayhome5569]

So happy to know this helped! Yeah, that handle dropping on the sink was an annoyance for me too

[@jeffg492]

Thanks so much for this. Every other video and bit of info I found on Moen faucets said it used a 7/64 hex head and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working, even after jamming a mirror back and looking at it with a light. You're correct, it's a 3/32. Very small difference, but super important.

Thanks! That saved me some time. I knew there was a hex wrench, but didn't know the size of the wrench.

3/32 did the trick. Appreciate it mate.

I have this faucet, Moen, M/N: 7594 OB (Oiled Bronze) the correct size on mine is not 3/32nd, it is one size smaller 5/64th. Nice video.

[@longwayhome5569]

Thanks for sharing

[@matthewzamora5503]

Thanks. I never knew about the starting point to be at 90 degrees, and handle top facing me. It made setting the loosened handle perfect.

[@Christymerferd]

Thank you!!! I have a different model and thought the set screw was missing. It was just out of sight. I was trying to find a new screw and Allen wrench to fit. Presto! I tried out an Allen wrench in the space and accidentally advanced the hidden set screw when I twisted the wrench. Lever works perfectly! 😘

[@longwayhome5569]

Great! I find that set screw is really important for friction grip.

Worked well. Our faucet is very similar. Thanks!

[@billscott6239]

Great video! It's a rare find, but we have that same Moen kitchen faucet with the same handle issue. Before watching your video, I spent a good 30 minutes trying to get various size allen keys to engage the set screw. An internet search for the size suggested 5/64" for most Moen faucet handles, with some saying 7/64.." Moen's product support says there is no standard size for the different models, and sells a set screw "set" on their website. But I'm going to see if I can find a clearly-marked 3/32" allen key and give it another shot. I'll let you know. Thanks for the video!

[@longwayhome5569]

Glad if I could help

[@longwayhome5569]

Please share what you find with the key size

[@billscott6239]

Turns out, our 2019 Moen Arbor kitchen faucet uses the 3/32" allen key, but my dad's older model Moen Arbor uses a 5/64" allen key. Best to bring all 3 sizes to the sink and test the fit.

[@longwayhome5569]

[@Linda8771]

Unfortunately, this was only temporary fix for my Moen faucet. It got to the point that I had to retighten my set screw throughout the day or the handle would come completely loose.

[@mariabooth8104]

Thanks for the video. Nice clear instructions. A mirror would help you to see what's back there. Just a suggestion. 🙂

A mirror would do the trick 👌

What to do if the base (the part under the cap) wobbles?

[@funboy7468]

New faucet

[@waynegreenwood4814]

How did you get it off?!!!!

[@longwayhome5569]

It became so loose that it just came off by itself

[@dougbilski]

I can’t get that ring to stay tight! I try using a bent coat hanger (or steak knife like you mentioned) and it will tighten up, but only for a shirt period of time. Anyone know if there is a special tool to tighten it?

[@longwayhome5569]

Are you referring to tightening the set screw? The only tool I use to tighten the set screw is an Allen or Hex key. The video shows the exact size of Hex key I use. See also the description box.

[@portalarizona]

I have done this many times. Every time the handle is loose again in a day or two.

[@MiKE-jz6jt]

May the balls of the designer of this particular design fall off the evening of reading this comment...

[@tallyt101]

I have done this but it is still loose. What can the problem be?

[@longwayhome5569]

May not work perfectly if the parts were already worn out. Is it a set screw or faucet handle that doesn't fit so well

[@keithbryan5737]

@@longwayhome5569 Similar issue, everything fits fine, it just doesn't tighten. Maybe we need to replace an interior part? Such as the stem?

[@longwayhome5569]

@@keithbryan5737 I would first check the set screw. Do threads feel worn out? Does the screw sit squarely on the flat of the stem when tightened? Gently nudge the lever before tightening to ensure the screw is not sitting over an edge of the stem. Is the stem leaking grease and preventing the screw from a good friction grip? The grease can be wiped off with some paper napkins. I'd also avoid over tightening the set screw to avoid wearing out the threads. If everything above checks out fine, I'd then check other parts for any unusual wear. Hope this helps

[@MiKE-jz6jt]

Hmmmm... Another design flaw..? Like I said the DESIGNER of this faucet...or ENGINEER..!
