A plumber in Tulsa showed me his pipe wrench trick and it cut my setup time in half
I was at a supply house on 11th Street in Tulsa picking up fittings when an old plumber saw me fumbling with my aluminum wrench. He grabbed my wrench, flipped the jaw around, and showed me how to use the back side for tighter spaces under sinks. I tried it on a bathroom rough-in last Tuesday and finished 40 minutes faster than normal. It is a small change but it made a big difference on a cramped job. Has anyone else picked up a simple trick like that from a stranger at a supply counter?
Ever see a guy use a shark bite cap as a temporary plug during a repair? My buddy watched an older guy do that at a job site in Broken Arrow last month. He popped one on a cut line so he could run to the truck for a part without water spraying everywhere. Saved him a big mess and a trip back to the supply house.
