Can I ask a massive favour....? I have a charity soapbox race this Sunday and I could do with some votes on the cart for the style points, it's free to do and you don't have to register to anything or sign in. It's just a case of clicking the link and selecting cart number 25. PS, It is the least stylish in the picture because it doesn't have any body work, we built it on the day it needed to be in but it is all now done, thanks in advance

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support Peter, we haven't tested the cart yet but I'm sure it will be fine, have a great weekend 👍

[@ImHowardMoonsir1]

Those gas meters have a neat time saving trick. If you press 0 (4 times) or until it says 'load' it'll give you an instant gas rate for your hob/boiler saving you 2 mins.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I will have to try that, I know it works on some and not others, thanks for watching mate

[@Schinney]

Its amazing how manky things become behind kitchen units Tom, seen any silver fish lately? Silverfish, a good name for the old soap box cart😂, good luck

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always mate, I did one not so long ago where I found someone's teeth under the sink, I think I have the footage somewhere so might include it at some point

[@uobefm2340]

Tom, great vt as always, tip for you and alll your subscribers, when using flex tap cons on compression fittings ALWAYS file the thread flat, to save the washer....

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support mate, like you say it is best to file the fitting flat to get the best seal, have a great weekend 👍

[@56ty78ui]

Just don't overtighten the fitting. No need to file down. Never had one leak yet.

[@thomascoyne157]

Very good video Tom you should video the soapbox race have a good weekend Tom 👍👍👍👍

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always mate, I might add a bit to the end of a video, we haven't tested it yet so it might end in complete disaster, have a great weekend 👍

Don't you just love customers that know you are coming to change a tap, yet leave the unit full, and draining board full of pots. 😏

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I know, I see it as all part of the job now, thanks for the support as always mate

Great content as per Tom, I bought the Nerrad kit, is it £160 good? Not really but all I know is there’s been occasions where it’s got me out of the 💩 and saved time and effort in the long run. One of those tools that’s not a necessity day to day but some days you’re glad you have it👍🏻

[@PlumbLikeTom]

It probably is worth the money just for the one time you really need it, thanks for the support as always mate

[@SouthWestWildernessScotland]

Tom i noticed online that the big online company starting with A are selling a version of those spinning pipe cleaners you were talking about. I have no idea if they are good, but I believe the are a lot cheaper. Just search copper pipe cleaners.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I see todays tools now make them, they do look good to be fair and I might have to treat myself, thanks for the support as always mate

The sink at 15 min is the greatest looking 👀 under sign 🙄

You will have to let me know how you get on with them, a lot of plumbers say they are good, thanks for watching Andrew

[@peteb3365]

with the box spanners you can usually add one on top other, make them longer btw wish i'd known that tap trick years ago would saved me lot swearing. hope had nice hols tom

You need the digital gauge for electronic gas pressure unless you can’t in the UK

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I do have one but I get on better with a water gauge, on some jobs if there's been a smell of gas I will use the digital one and do a print out although there is no legal requirement to do this, thanks for watching
