[@TightWadDIY]

Thanks for adding this info!

[@JohnSmith-uy2bl]

The comment i was looking for. thank you sir

[@shayyoung1921]

Very much appreciated...worked like a charm

[@1Williams]

Huge miss in the video was not calling this out... Ty!

[@robertmessinger6053]

I would add, if you turn far enough removing the handle with an Allen wrench there’s a good chance that the tiny screw is going to be affixed to the end of the wrench. Always put a towel, even a paper towel, down in the sink to prevent any small parts (like that screw) from falling into the drain. I just replaced a hot/cold stem in my bathroom sink and used a Kleenex or two. Didn’t drop anything but better safe than going to Lowe’s to hunt for a tiny screw that might not be easy to find…

[@TightWadDIY]

Great tip!

[@rower41]

Two thumbs WAY up on this. My exact problem. Interesting as this seems to be a design flaw in several Moen faucets. Their engineers should be watching this...

[@TightWadDIY]

I agree. It’s definitely a design flaw.

[@adamlacourse6739]

What size is the Allen wrench that you are using?

[@benjaminmeigs8593]

No one answered this??

[@shayyoung1921]

Allen wrench is 3/32

[@gregperkins1977]

Much Better video than some other guy who had me under the sink... Thank you!

[@TightWadDIY]

Glad it helped!

[@Raynorlxix]

“Hey, it’s the Blackstone guy!” That’s what I yelled out when my wife and I were looking for a video on how to fix this exact issue. Worked like a charm! Thank you! Subbed!

[@TightWadDIY]

😂😂 You found my original channel!

[@ABenz]

I appreciate the video! I'd seen instructions elsewhere, but I didn't realize the outer cap could actually come off. Thanks!

[@TightWadDIY]

Glad I could help!

[@awagakanciren]

Thanks for this video! I initially thought the loose cartridge housing was a loose or bad cartridge. You saved me a trip to replace my kitchen faucet.

[@starson42]

Thank you!!! The second issue was my problem, and I had no idea how to describe or tighten it. I was all ready to call Moen on Monday to explain it to them, but your simple & clear instructions made sense and totally fixed the annoying wiggle. Liked & subscribed :)

[@TightWadDIY]

Glad I could help!

[@Vini-Pizza]

Omg!! This fix was SO EASY!! Thanks for the video! I probably saved $100 on a plumbing house call!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@TightWadDIY]

I’m glad it worked for you too!

[@MarkPorter-l6s]

You helped me out a whole lot. Nothing about this anywhere else I looked.

[@TightWadDIY]

I’m glad you found the video.

[@petershriner71]

This loose under-the-collar problem showed up a few months after I installed a new Moen #1255 cartridge in my Moen MN #7594 side-mount kitchen faucet. Your video was an fast easy fix - Thanks! 😅😅😅

[@TightWadDIY]

Glad you got it fixed!

[@claymiller2141]

Great video! Love the clear video and instructions.

[@scremdelascrem]

Dude!!!! Thank you so much. Good man here!

[@TightWadDIY]

Glad to help!

[@dair805]

Bought it from Home Depot and I’ll reach out to them. Thanks a lot!

[@TightWadDIY]

Reach out to Moen directly. HD won’t help.

[@erinkesler9981]

What size allen wrench did you use. The screw on mine is very close to splash guard on the wall. Thank you

[@breakersrowe9662]

Excellent video!!!! This solved my problem thank you!🙏

[@TightWadDIY]

Glad it helped!

[@jeffdennen7758]

What size is the Allen key?

[@woofie7128]

worked!! thanks!!!

[@TightWadDIY]

You're welcome!

[@geoffhazel2]

Mine had a little plastic plug hiding the hole. Easy to remove with the tip of a sharp knife. The screw was 2.5mm and not accessible until I rotated the faucet.

[@TightWadDIY]

Nice job!

[@Dtruthseek]

Thank you so much.

[@TightWadDIY]

You're welcome!

[@betseysarris8927]

Hi. Great demonstration! The nut that gets tightened in the faucet handle is possibly broken. Is there a replacement for this? I don't know what to ask for if I go to a hardware store. Thank you!

[@TightWadDIY]

Not that I know of but faucets have a lifetime warranty.

[@chriscliff7764]

Video saves the marriage!

[@TightWadDIY]

Yeeeessss!

[@billedinger71]

With all due respect what size is the damn Allen key?

[@denisebertrand3934]

Will this also fix a leak in the same area?

[@andrewmeneilly4653]

Can you replace the screw that you loosened in the beginning with the Allen wrench?

[@TightWadDIY]

Yes. It’s called a set screw. They sell them at hardware stores.

[@patdixon3844]

Thank you

[@TightWadDIY]

My pleasure!

[@kensternberg3780]

When I removed the outer ring in my faucet there was just a round black plastic piece, not brass or metal at all. And there was no space to insert the wrench.

[@TightWadDIY]

Sorry. Every model is different.

[@dair805]

I have the same faucet and the screw on the handle stripped. No water comes out because the handle almost came off. Can I replace just the handle since the little screw is stripped?

[@TightWadDIY]

They have a lifetime warranty. I’d reach out to them.

[@doctorelxv6856]

Good video. Fixed my issue. Thank you.

[@TightWadDIY]

Glad it helped

[@mlbotma2474]

Is there a tool to tighten this nut properly? I am thinking of something like the tool you use to remove the back of a watch.

[@TightWadDIY]

I’m really not sure!

[@Thecurvifit]

Hello do you know what screw for the handle is needed

[@TightWadDIY]

Sorry I do not know the size.

[@GrantHealy]

You need to add that the allen key is 7/64

[@ChiefDirtyBird]

Subbed 👍

[@TightWadDIY]

Thanks for the sub!

[@MrSTOUT73]

For me to do it like the video I’d have to be reaching in through the window over the sink. There’s a wall there!

[@TightWadDIY]

Oh no!

[@AgendaInMind]

The handle still falls off after tightening with a wrench! It cost me $250 and it does this?!

[@dougpinto1267]

The only reason I watched was to find the Allen wrench size and not mentioned

[@michaelfarris2556]

With my strong hand

[@TightWadDIY]

Haha.

[@jeffreyclark6375]

2.4 mm

[@marcycalabrese]

No hole in the back- the handle fell off

[@TightWadDIY]

There has to be a hole on it.

[@wnburroughs4082]

@@TightWadDIYmine doesn’t either. And the assembly isn’t loose but the handle still is even after tightening the Allen screw.

[@wnburroughs4082]

Never mind. I fixed it. There is a flat area on the shaft that the set screw has to tighten into. That was my whole problem.

[@jimsiggy]

"Moen"

[@TightWadDIY]

Haha. Autocorrect got me! Thanks for pointing it out.

[@christinaperez1162]

What size of Allen key for this?

[@bluebobbyd]

I think 5/16
