So, do you need to be a plumber to fix the faucet? No. It's so simple you can do it yourself.

A lot of guys explain this and they complicate the shit out of it. Thank you for making it simple
~7 years later and this video is still helping people. Thank you for taking the time to make it and for helping everyday people better understand what the issue is, how to fix it, and why it's happening.
9 years now
Ten years now
IM going to try that tomorrow
Boy was I overthinking that! Thanks for the video you just saved me time and money!
Due to your video, I was able to save $$ by not having a plumber come out, and I was able to fix it myself. THANK YOU!!!!
Your video is the ONLY one I've seen that shows you can just tighten the top to fix the while-on leak. THANK YOU!! Fixed, and I don't need to buy anything, yet.
I watched this 10minutes ago and now, our faucet is no longer leaking!! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you! This video saved me from making a phone call “weekend callout for a plumber” You got right to it and didn’t chat to the camera and your directions were clear. 😊
This video saved the day!!! Thank you!!! The thumbnail is exactly what happened to us today and you saved us sooo much money! ❤
I feel like the fix it lady all because of you. Thank you for doing this video.
I had a leaky faucet for months, was ready to buy soldering tools and coper pipe and replace the whole faucet, then I saw this and it worked like a charm, Thanks!!!!!
Just saved me professional plumbing costs!! Both bibs leaked and I thought it was likely the washer but I just tightened the nut nearer the top and viola! Wished I knew this last year lol.
Thank you for the video, one quick tight to the nut fixed the leak. Save me time and money from change the new faucet.
It worked!!! The water doesn't spray out of the handle anymore!!! Thank you again!!!
I'm really glad I found this video. My problem was leaking around the handle when I turned the water on (2:23). Thanks to this video I was able to fix it in about 10 seconds with a pair of pliers.
One more small project off my "honey do" list. Thanks!
After watching your video I took care of my water leak in two minute!!!...THANKK YOU for the tip!
Great video. I appreciate people who go slow and explain. One of the better DIY videos I've seen. Thanks!
agreed!!!

You just saved me $350. Thank you!
Just took me less than 2 minutes to fix the leaky hose that’s been bothering me since we moved in last year. I feel like superwoman haha. Thank you!
Came across this after fixing the exact same unit. Tips for anybody…center brass screw may be rotted….either drill out or hit with PB blaster and vice grips. Secondly, cup to retain the washer may crumble…perfectly fine to dremel flat and matchup washer OD…good to go!
Great video! The DIY TH-cam community is the best!
Leaked for a year. 30 seconds to fix. Thanks!
Awesome video. The last piece of advice saved me from buying a new hose bib. Thanks!
Great video. Without actually seeing the used and new washers, I would never have known what the right replacement looked like. Also, I forgot (or never knew) that you could stop a stem leak by tightening the nut. Thanks!
29AUG2021 - 0045 hours I was watching your video and saw the second solution which was a small issue when I purchased my home last month. Tightened up the packaging and immediately fixed my leak! Thank you for sharing your solution, I am truly grateful.
Thank you Brother! This is the 2nd time your video has helped me to fix a leaky spigot. We just needed to buy that small $3 stem washer & it was fixed! To fix it, I took off the stem & brought it in to Home Depot, to make sure the washer fit. Thanks again! Blessings to everyone! #WeNeedEachOther #TakeTimeToShareWhatYouKnow #ItWillBlessOthers #ThankYou
Wow! How simple this was. Thank you for teaching me this for free
Thanks, your video just saved me a $500 plumber's bill!!
I've lived in this house for six years and my two hose bibs have been leaking when turned on the whole time. Five minutes after watching this, they're both fixed. Thanks so much!
Finally a video about a hose bib that looks like mine. The problem I have is that I cannot undo the top screw nor either of the lower nuts, they are all corroded on solid. All I might be able to undo is the nut holding on the entire hose bib. That is if liquid wrench will do its job.
Amazing video! You uploaded it 7 years ago. It is in such a good quality and still helping me today.
Been at my house for almost 2 years and my leak got fixed by tightening the nut. I didn’t realize it was that easy. Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this short video. Very helpful!👍
Thank you for making this short and to the point. VERY helpful!
This was a wonderful “do it yourself” video. Very articulate in explaining and demonstrating the process. Thanks!
This video is great! All the others just said to "tighten the packing nut." Which I did, but it didn't stop the leak. Thanks to you, now I know that there are two separate reasons for a leak, which need to be addressed individually. I was about to give up and buy a new faucet, but this video showed me how to finally fix it right. Thanks again!
Best how-to video for the novice I watched, thanks
Thank you for this! Extremely helpful and a big money saver too!
Awesome. Straight and to the point, simple and clear instructions. This handyman novice appreciates you. Thank you! ✌️😎
Thanks so much! I've been putting this project for so long because I thought it was gonna be a lot more complicated. I appreciate the video!
Thank you so much. I am not a plumber and did not have to make a trip to Lowe's. I had the leak when I opened the faucet. I tightend the packing screw and it is all fixed.
Awesome straight to the point! Very professional. Thank you!
Lots of videos cover the packing for the stem...this is the first I found for the gasket inside the valve. Thank you for covering both - I thought I'd have to replace the entire valve!
You just saved me a TON of time and hassle....Thank you!
This was a wonderful “how to fix it yourself” video. Very article in explaining and demonstrating very detail. Thanks!
Thank you so much! Had a home inspection and was dreading having to have the hose bib replaced. What a simple fix.
Thank you so much for posting this video! The previous owners soldered the spigot to the water supply pipe and me thinking I needed to change the spigot, I was in a corner because I don't know how to solder. Tightening the packing solved the problem and you saved me $ and stress.
Thank you so much!
OMG! I have had a leaky stem forever, and you showed me how to fix that in about five seconds. A thousand thankyous!
Thanks to you I fixed my own hose bib today! So empowering! Thank you!
Thank you for this info. All 3 of my exterior faucets leak. Now, I can fix myself. Much appreciated!
I was about to replace the whole faucet. Thank you for saving me a ton of money!
One of the best diy videos!!!!!! Fixed my spraying everywhere nose bibb in seconds!!! Thank you so much!!!
Great, thank you! Just repaired my leaking tap with this very useful video - did not need to spend money on the packing - just had to tighten it!
You resolved my long lasting problem in a min! Thanks!
very nice video. i like how its straight to the point with simple instruction. Great job!!!
Thank you! Just what I needed.
Thank you so much, this help me fix my patio hose Bibb without replacing
Best DIY video, you help everybody save money. thank you
Thank you sooo much! I didn't think it could be that easy. It was the 2nd leak that you talked about that helped me out with my problem. Thank you
Thanks for the short, clear, and well presented video on how to repair leaks at hose bibs. Mine was the 2nd problem leaking around the handle. I had envisioned a long drawn out repair. 1/2 a turn with a wrench and the leak was gone. Thanks again for the well done video.
Thank you very much for your professional and excellent instruction.
Dude, you're awesome. Tightening the nut as mentioned about 2:30 in fixed my issue. Thanks!
Thanks! I know this is an old video but that trick to open the valve all the way and tighten the nut fixed the leak around that area saving me a trip to the hardware store.
I love Ryco because is the name of my Dog. And this is a cool plumber
Your advice saved me time and money. Thank you!!
Very good video with clear explanation and 'how to.' Didn't cover replacing stem or packing, but great on explaining washer replacement.
This was so well done. Great video, explanation and well spoken. Excellent
I really appreciate getting the "why" and the "how" . Thanks!
I thought I was going to have to take the whole thing apart to fix the leak at the handle until I saw the last few seconds of this video. THANK YOU! You saved me a lot of irritation and time!
That was very helpful, thanks for posting the video!
Successfully repaired it myself! Thank you so much for your help and clear explanation!
Just fixed mine with the help of this video. Thank you!!
Same here, I just fixed mine too - thank you!
Dude. The second problem in the video was the issue that I had. I used channel locks and fixed it just like you said! Killer quick and easy video. You're the man!
Great video. Just what I needed to fix leaky hose bib on my house. Bought 2 rubber washers (.70 cents) and repaired it right up. Thanks!
Thanks! I had a leaking hose bib for several weeks and I was going to call the plumber, but after watching this video I fixed myself in less than 30 seconds
going to give hose bib a try after work on Tuesday my father inlaw will be happy
The packing nut super simple fix worked!! I thought I needed to replace the whole thing! Thank you :)
Mindblown as well ! I was about to replace the whole thing. I actually feel stupid now lol
Thank you so much for this great DIY video. You are awesome.
So easy, I thought you had to replace the bibb and we have a super old 1" that I couldn't find. I was thinking of getting a reducer and 3/4 bibb. Thanks!
Thank You, after watching this video I was able to fix my leaky hose bib! You just saved me $50.00!
Great video and thank you . You just saved me a service call. Cheers!
Please make more tutorials like this! So good!
Thank you so much! My foundation was starting to soak up too much water. This video helped me out so much!
Thanks! It was as quick and easy as you made it look.
Awesome! The second issue is what I came here to learn about. Thanks. 👍🏼
Thank you! Best faucet repair video!😊
Thank you so much!!! I replaced both washers, but I still had water squirting up out of the faucet, I will have to try tightening the hex bolt tomorrow when it is light out. I had a lot of trouble getting the bonnet off at first. The builder of the house had completely painted the entire faucet. I couldn't even see the right thing to turn because of the paint, and the hard water deposits. I had to scrape the paint off with an exacto knife all around the hex, and I finally got it off!
Thank you. Tightened the top. Zero cost
Thank you so much man! It was hard finding a video with hose bib like mine. I am from Arizona that is probably why.
I really like how you explain why the leaks occur in the first place. In this case, the washer expands a little every time you close it tight and then it rubs on the inside of the bib. Thanks. Subscribing.
thank you! That 2nd leak tip worked great for me!
Awesome video assistance Sir! Best part was around 1:50 into the video where he/you said....."now you tighten the screw THAT YOU DIDN'T LOSE...".
Sir...quit spying on me when I'm doing my plumbing work!!!!!
Yep, I'm that schmuck! Where did I set that effin screw down? For safe keeping! Doh
I watch a lot of how-to videos on TH-cam, and I just want to compliment you guys for doing something many producers don't do: miking the talent! So many producers think the mic on the camera is plenty good enough. It's only good enough if you're not interested in hearing the person speak.
Thanks a lot for your video guide. It saves me a lot of money.
Thanks. This helped me a bunch. I had to replace the rubber washer at the bottom of the bonnet assembly.
My hose bibb had the second leak you fixed all I did was tighten the nut and it stopped leaking. Thank You !!!!!
Well explained. Thank you.
Awesome video. You saved me time and money. Much appreciated Sir
The last step was a game changer. Thank you
Thank you. I seriously was thinking I had to replace the whole thing. But just tightened up the top and water doesn’t leak. Crazy.
