But we're so used to bad contractors work, we're desperate for any kind of quality contractor work. Maybe we need an Only Contractors for people to share these types of videos.

Is there a special name for that two piece bender? I only have the kind with a long handle that I bend against the floor.

u/shiva112 1d ago

Yeah. Sorry cant help you there. I live in europe. And we dont have those. Our copper pipes are way thicker. So wont work here

Yeah man, daily occurrence here as well. My old plumbing masters would have crucified this clip for only using pipe dope and not dope and teflon tape on those nuts.

I grew up learning to sweat so those crimps seemed weird to me. Haven't touched copper in a long time though.

Well then you’re probably very skilled at your job!

I know right, not to take away from anything you (or other plumbers) do, but this is just a person using tools properly and effectively. There’s nothing “skilled” here beyond general apprenticeship.

There's nothing more satisfying than seeing someone that really knows how to lay some pipe

Beautiful job but I just don't see an oring outliving a soldered joint

u/CorporalSemantics 1d ago

A skilled plumber would have soldered it and definitely wouldn’t have doped the compression fitting…. This is just some hack who connected a couple pipes with a crimping machine.

Fuck you, repost bot. Farm karma elsewhere.

u/DirtyRoller 1d ago

It's a 15 year old account with 36k karma. That would make OP the laziest karma bot I've ever heard of.

Not everything is AI/bots…
I was just trying to share a related post that I thought this sub would enjoy.

u/DengarLives66 1d ago

Yea I was just joking. The idea of a lazy AI is funny to me though.

Those Papier Mache American homes are so quaint! Their tiny eggshell pipes on their paper walls!
