Thank you! I'm an old lady with arthritic hands, and your video enabled me to remove the two Sharkbite fittings that I had been unable to. The explanation of how they work was excellent.

God, I wish everyone did videos like this. Short and to the point and only the information that I needed. THANK YOU!

Wow. There’s a special place in heaven for Posters like you. 👍

Great video, you saved me from ripping the pipe out of the wall! Thank you. What a great idea to cut the fitting in half to show how it works that made all the difference! Thanks!

One of the best do it yourself videos I've seen on YouTube. Well done!!

[abdorakeebnaji]

not a plumber. I'm a Hvac technician. But I always learn something new every time I'm watching your channel..this channel I'll give it 10/10 among all other plumbing channels...great video as it always 👍👍👍👍👍

This is a fantastic video. Great to take the time to show the cutaway version of the fitting. And the two techniques for doing it near a wall are priceless since that is what I was looking for exactly. You explain things so clearly and elegantly too. You Da Man! Thanks!

[sherrimorana]

Amazing! Love how you cut it in half to better explain how it works! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You save lives. Thanks for all the times you've helped me bail myself out of minor plumbing emergencies.

[johndumoulin]

thanks!!! I as just trying this under the house, I couldnt get it off. I was just trying to pull it off by hand . Impossible. Seeing the inner view, of how the teeth need to be released, helped a lot. A little more technique involved, rather than brute strength.

Your contribution to the art world! I used what I learned from your channel to make a shower curtain rail system out of 3/4" copper tubing.. It has a 3/4" upper rail and lower rail divided by 20 - 1/2 x 3 to 6" long saddle-cut pipes, (kind of like an engineered joist) to hold up a shower curtain going into an all-aluminum camper. The 3/4 tubes are part of the water storage system (waste not want not...lol) where the cold water goes through the tubing before getting to the mixing valve. Thanks Got2Learn!

Hey Pal, You're videos are excellent and saved me a lot of trouble with the SharkBite push fittings. The ones I bought came with no instructions so I simply pushed them on and guess what - they leak! So I found your video and quickly understood what I did wrong. The next question was how to get them off so I could re-install properly. You showed me that, too. Thanks so much!!!

[ericness]

You just saved me the cost/effort of replacing some fittings and a trip to the hardware store. Many thanks!

[chrischapman]

Like many others, I just have to let you know a couple things....
The straight forward and to the point lesson given here was perfect.
Second,
I live 66 miles to the nearest depot/lowes with an hour and half drive each way. Stupid electrician doing plumbing work is not always smart but I'm pretty "able" so....
Here I am. the distance away, later in the evening and have to remove a couple of these during my new home "restoration". You are a super hero.
Thank you a shit load for taking the time to do this vid.

You're a breath of fresh air. I was about to go spend money on something i would probably use only once ever. Your video did the trick! Thank you so much.

[seylerfam]

Thanks for being straight to the point. Just got one of these today and I needed to remove it to check the connection.

[jamesle]

Thank you bro, yesterday at the hardware store I was wondering should I get the disconnecting tool or not then decided not to buy because want to find out more. Your explanation was so clear, I understand how the pipe works now.

[jeanj]

I watch you series of video about pipe work. They are very useful and very easy to understand! Thank you very much! The best video!

[yankthis]

Thanks bro!! You just saved me a 3rd trip to Home Depot!
