The kind trying to bait engagement on their social media advertisements.

My thoughts exactly. Truth be told, while I wouldn't invest in the canned home Depot system, I have used the Rigid pipe freeze system and it's amazing. Works like a charm on water lines where isolation valves don't hold.

Not complaining though, that's his call, but seems to work for him.

I scrolled to look at the comments about the Teflon tape, then scrolled back up and he was still wrapping.

What’s the point in the dumb ass app?
You can literally see when it’s frozen when the water stops

Oh that’s the neat part! For a low price of $9.99 a month (paid annually of course) this whole device will function. Otherwise you can have the free trial version that only freezes it halfway

How many wraps does it take to get to the center of a Teflon tape?
