Got a ripper sent in by Oliver @ollieboy15. If you’ve ever had a brass elbow go too deep into a hot water service and your shifters won’t reach it, here’s a handy little trick. Oliver uses the handle of his flaring tool to wind it in and get it tight. Simple one to keep in mind. If you’ve got a handy trick like this, send it in and I’ll share it. #thehandyplumber #plumbingtips #plumberlife #tradietips #australianplumber
