I used the knowledge from your videos to replace a leaking water line at my in-laws house yesterday. I did a couple practice runs on some spare pipe and fittings before making the actual repair. The final product was fantastic and looked professional (I bought all the tools I saw in your videos). I have never soldered a pipe before. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’m going to your Paetron site next to contribute.

Probably the best video, straight to the point - no bs, jokes, or loud music. I will do my first soldering today.

there has not been and there will not be a greater and better video than this on soldering. I thank you - RESPECT

I can see why this video received over 2 million views. The best all-around video I've seen yet. I've been soldering copper piping for over 60 years. Yes I started young.

This is by far the best plumbing channel I've EVER seen. Thank you so much.

Ive been plumbing and soldering going on 17 years now and your video nails it.

One could make a plumbing career (with pratice, of course) out of the videos that this guy has put out. Really good videos! People like this guy is what makes humans move forward!

Thanks dude for your efforts I'm a plumber from Tunisia and I learn from your videos ☺☺☺thanxxxxxx God bless you

Hey, thanks for these tips. They gave me the confidence to attempt my first repair with 2 joints and 2 couplers (8 joints soldered), and it was a success.

Me and my dad are plumbers it was fun to watch your videos together, and hearing his criticism is so funny but also just as great when he learns a new trick from you like that too when you put the nut on before you cut the all-thread rod

WOW, WOW, WOW. What a gift you have for teaching and explaining with precise clarity.

Since finding this channel I've successfully completed 5 plumbing jobs around my home. I can honesty say I had absolutely no issues and I was so pleased with what I learned from you brother. I was always worried to do any sodering in the past. Now I can't wait to do more job's or upgrades around the house. You are the best teacher and I highly recommend this channel to everyone that wants to learn from an expert. Bang on accurate 🎯 Furthermore the way each of the video's are done are so professionally made, Im really very very impressed. No point looking further cuz you won't find a better teacher then this channel. I must have saved a couple thousand $ dollars already doing it myself. Thanks once again. From one Canadian to another I'm proud of you brother. 🇨🇦 🎯 🇨🇦

Ive just started my level 2 diploma and i know nothing about plumbing but the way you explained everything in the video was absolutely great it was real easy to follow thanks alot for it.. I cant tell you how excited i am to be doing this course im 35 now and its never to late to get yourself educated... God bless all...

Very well done. Sure, it's not like being a journeyman, but for home DIY, this was invaluable. I kinda knew what to do, and had done the electric side of soldering a bit. Finally dove in, moved 2 feeds around a corner to an adjacent wall in our bathroom. Thanks for the tips, alot of solid info. I left the whole day for it, and went slow. Turned the water back on with zero issues. There were a couple of really nice details and tips that saved my ass. You said preparation was so important, and i think thats what got it for me. It really made a difference. great video.

Appreciate you taking the time to list the tools needed. I got a master bathroom remodel and needed to order a torch and everything

Thanks for all your videos on soldering. I installed a new water heater last summer and now I'm installing a new shower faucet kit that requires a new delta valve. All thanks to your videos. BY FAR the best.

If you're feeling extra cautious, or you don't have a small-flame torch, what I like to do (in addition to these steps and precautions) is to use a spray bottle to wet down the studs that may receive more heat than I want. I wait until it's all fluxed and assembled to be sure there's no water getting on the mating surfaces, dampen all nearby combustibles, hang /position my fire cloth, and then apply heat. Since I typically have a MAP bottle with a larger head on it, this gives me extra peace of mind.

I watched several of your posted videos, and I found them very concise and helpful for most DIY home owners and thank you so much for your contributions. If I may also suggest adding a few more comments in your future videos regarding the importance of heating the pipes and fittings uniformly before adding solder to allow the wicking effects of the solder to pull solder into the solder joints. Also it will be helpful to add a few words about how to add solder always from opposite side of the flame to avoid cold solder joints. Thank you again for great videos and looking forward to your future video postings.

Fantastic video,I never tire of watching it.I use a torch head on which the tip of the torch does not heat up,the torch head is a Craftsman 954287 self igniting torch head.It's a great dependable torch head and I've had it since I was 19 yrs old and I am now going on 59 yrs old believe it or not.I do not make plumbing repairs on a daily basis but thie times that I have had to use my Craftsman torch,and there have been many,it has never failed me and I love that the torch tip does not get hot which is one less thing for me to worry about.Many people may never think about their torch head tip not getting hot until one day they grab the torch by the tip instead of by the propane cylinder and end up getting a super nasty burn.It's usually the little things that get us,food for thought.
