Technology 2017 You Don't Know Exist Today!

They sure makes things a lot easer to do these days but I suppose for a one time project you still need to try and get it done with your tools at hand.

These are great for industry or a contractor, but I do have and have used that copper pipe cutter.
I've also used the tools that are used with the modern Pex water lines when I renovated my cottages.
If you know what you're doing some of these similar tools can probably be rented.
I once had a blockage in my sewer pipe leading to the sewer.
I rented an electric "snake" like the one near the end of the video and cleared it in no time at all.

We seems to have a lot of issues with blockage in our sewer pipe but this is handled by our local municipality as it is always in their pipes.

I have a straight run from my house out to the city sewer so it was easy to clear - and it was my fault.
I have an air tight cap on my basement sewer line just for that purpose and it's easy to fish a snake along the pipe.
The blockage was well out towards the sewer and the rotating snake head pushed the blockage along and into the main sewer.
It let go with a pop and the sewer stink of air that came back nearly knocked me off my feet .
That was about 40 years ago and I haven't had an issue since.

Don't we have the most interesting conversations

Don't we have the most interesting conversations

We do tend to digress at times to the strangest topics

This isn't a sewer pipe but. . .

The tools that are made today are something else, its a total different world today than when i was in my early 20's buying up tools that i wanted and needed.
