  • Thanks, I just bought a house where this pipe was broken in both bathrooms (and packed with pens, rubber bands, and a comb...) and I was able to replace both myself. Your video was very helpful!

  • Yet another video installing an overflow drain assembly into a non-overflow sink.

  • The one thing I couldn’t figure out when I installed a new faucet. You are the man Tony.
    Thank you

  • I'm glad this video showed that you probably have to grab the flange with pliers (destroying it) to get it out. This is particularly true on older, non-PVC connections that will have rusted or simply locked in place if they've been there for years.

  • Video was very helpful. On a trivial note, those were imitation generic tongue in groove pliers and definitely not Channellock.

  • About to replace my drain with a popup drain, because the plastic piece under the stopper is broken and the Clevis arm or whatever is totally not working. But turns out I had the clip attached incorrectly, but I like the idea of saving money here.
