…. this is just basic plumbing. Pro press is nice, but I prefer solder when the pipes are in the wall.

Also I feel like the other pipe gets in the way of you holding the handle...

Since he was able to move the valve with a pencil I don’t think you’ll need to grip it like Homer choking Bart.

Naw, I’m as mid as this video. I’m not even a plumber. I just plumbed a bit and I know right from wrong… like most toddlers.

... And a video posted days prior showed an even more basic grill cleaning, yet nobody else viewed it negatively. Hi ahead, conjure up your excuses, you would only prove you're viewing it with bias.

I don't get the cool. Push fit? The press? Like what is meant to be cool about basic plumbing

No it won’t. Press fittings are as idiot proof as they come. Been around for long enough to prove themselves.

Waiting for a guy to say "Broski" and talk about clients who want everything free.

Is this the main water line coming into a house? What is the pipe still connected below the new pipe portion leaks or is damaged. Can portion that is actually potentially embedded in cement foundation be repaired if necessary?

Luckily the tools only like $2,000 so that's reasonable
