How to Replace A Kitchen Sink Strainer

I am a 60-year-old female and learning how to fix things around the house. I am GLAD to say I followed this video and did it myself and NO LEAKS. Thanks so much

Thanks so much DIYguy. My dad is long gone, and now I depend on you, and honest to goodness guys like you, to show me how. I appreciate your simple, straightforward stuff. Dad would be proud!

Excellent. Commercial quality video: clear, concise, and with no wasted time. You can't do better than this. Thanks.

Thank you so much! I am a 51 yr old female that has had to learn how to fix things on my own in the last few years. I live in an older home which means things are needing to be repaired. I followed your tutorial exactly and fixed my sink for a minimal out of pocket cost. I read a few of the negative comments and total disagree. You did a great job of simplifying the instructions and helping me (which my income doesn't allow for over priced repairs) fix my sink. Thanks again!

I’m 61 yr old woman that fixed her sink and installed a new faucet 😆👏🏻👏🏻 thanks to these easy to follow instructions for the sink drain !!! Thank you so very much 🙏!!!

I am a 56 year old woman and disabled so I try to save money as much as possible. I appreciate your videos because you make it easy to understand and for me to do. Thank you!

Perfect! To the point, without any unnecessary information. Exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you soooo much, this video helped me replace both sink strainers. I called Rotor Rooter and they said they have a flat rate of $65 just to
come out to assess the situation, this does not include labor fees. In fact all the plumbers I called had such a 'come out and see' fee.

All I needed was to get a $7 mini hack saw to remove that corroded locknut underneath as you suggested. I got all the materials I needed (hacksaw, sink strainers, plumber putty, tailpiece pipes) at Lowe's for around $30. In less than 30 minutes I was done!

I love this! No nonsense and straight forward and clear instructions with great camera work. I have a leaky sink strainer basket (just discovered while getting something from further back under sink, and found about an 1/8" of water covering the entire bottom under sink; after trial and error, determined it was the old and decrepit strainer basket that needs changed). This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

Now that's the best step by step video I have seen so far. Thank You for making things so much easier for a guy that is trying to learn and save a buck at the same time. I would recommend this video to anyone that wants to replace a drain strainer and they will be relieved to see how easy this guy makes it to do yourself. Keep up the Great work and thanks again!

Very helpful - thank you! I am installing a square drain basket with a foam gasket for above the sink and plastic gasket below. I wasn't sure if I needed silicone and where exactly to put it (and did not want to hire a plumber for something fairly simple like this). Your instructions are clear and simple and your voice and style are very friendly and pleasant to watch (not the case with all DIY videos).

Thank you very much for this video. I'm glad you went into enough detail to explain how things were to be taken apart/put back together.  The instructions on the new strainers I bought weren't very descriptive so I was left guessing how much putty I needed to apply without ending up with overkill.

This is my first comment ever on Youtube and this video needs the praise it deserves! This was the best video. I could see everything you were doing and you didn't talk about anything else, just right to the point and you actually explained it! I am not afraid to do this now! Thanks a bunch! Keep you the great videos!

Thanks for the video! Short and sweet. Having a Home Advisor "Plumber" replace your sink, faucet, and garbage disposal=$375. Getting to re-do all of his shotty work myself = Priceless. I think I'm now a Plumberess. Maybe I should go work for Home Advisor!

[kathrynblackwell]

I’m a 60 some female and do all my home repairs. Your video is the best! Your voice is calm and clear and the video shots are excellent. Also I appreciate that you do not leave out ANY STEPS and don’t assume homeowner already knows that step! Thank you! Please keep the videos coming! Good luck!

[janicerodriguez]

Thank you SO much! My plumber was going to charge $175. For less than $20 in materials I was able to change this completely by myself. I feel so PROUD! For anyone with the same issue as me...I couldn't get the locknut off with a wrench, so I tapped it with a flat screwdriver until it loosened.

[skaizun]

I'm just wondering why in the world some people gave this simple, clear, video a thumbs down!!! Trolls gotta be trolls, I suppose!

[earache]

Perfect visual explanation! Thank you... I already did it once and it leaked so I found your video and no leaks!!

[sgtzsquad]

Appreciate this video. I am a 3rd shift worker who woke up to my dear princess pulling all the stuff from under the sink because of a leak. Well I didn't get to work out today, but I did fix the problem with the help of your video. Thanks again! Semper Fi!

Thank you for the demo, just what I needed! The nut was stubborn as you said it might be, so I sprayed it with vinegar and waited as Jim suggests below, then a few bangs with a hammer freed it. After that, Channel locks were fine for unscrewing the nut, no need for special tools! You just saved me some good money. Thank you.
