basic hacksaw: amzn.to/3gXrAg9
Nicer hacksaw: amzn.to/3x1old3
Channel lock pliers: amzn.to/3xSPS0k
My Drill (I have had this 4 years dropped multiple times-still works!): amzn.to/2P1jibY
One of my rentals had a hose that wouldn't come lose. Tenant had "tried" unsuccessfully. Just grab a cheap hacksaw and cut it off. BE CAREFUL not to cut threads of actual water spigot. This is very easy to do...once you get mostly through use a screwdriver or some other flat edge and pry off. This job will take less than 5 minutes!

Thank you! Have had to cut off several hose connectors that wouldn’t give any other way.

@how2q 2 года назад

Glad it helped!

@fuzzipariah Год назад

I have watched several videos about how to remove a stuck hose, and you're the only person to point out the need to support the hose bib with another set of channel locks! Thank you.

@how2q Год назад

Only included it because I have been known to make a job a lot harder by making stupid mistakes. I was very paranoid about busting the copper pipe on this one. Glad it helped.

@fuzzipariah Год назад

@@how2q I am sure it will help.

What can be done to stop this from happening again

@LanaRainbow69 Год назад

Thank you!!!!! I'm a 75 yr. old female, my cousin is 73 and we successfully sawed off the old hose and now we're back in business!!! Perfect intsructions!

@how2q Год назад

Sweet!!! Love the cheap fixes!!

@benazleeds 3 года назад

haha this is awesome! Thank you! I've had this problem this weekend and I would probably have just cranked straight onto the hose. So I appreciate the heads up to avoid the hose bib damage!

@how2q 3 года назад

I’m surprised my tenant didnt when they vacated!lol

@brianmartin3520 Год назад

You guys rule! I was scratching my head for weeks on what to do with my cemented-on spigot. Was ready to saw off the entire thing and re-do the PVC piping...then I ran across your video. Five minutes of arm work and she's off clean.

@how2q Год назад

Yup…the cheap fixes are best fixes

@CanItReallyBe Год назад

This worked great for a hose that had been left attached to a spigot for years until it badly corroded. Wrenches were no help. Thanks a lot.

Good idea about cutting the end of the hose off with a hacksaw. I never thought of that.

@how2q 2 года назад

Sometimes the simple answers are the best ones…especially the cheap solutions! Lol

@jesserowell2060 5 месяцев назад

Oh my god! Thank you!!!!! I have tried pliers, wd40, vinegar, wrenches, heavy duty jar openers, you name it with no success for over 1 year. This took less that 15 mins with an over abundance of caution and was so much easier on my hands and fingers! Thank you!!!

@how2q 5 месяцев назад

Haha wow ur persistence has paid off. Glad it helped!!

Thank you for the great video - I'm plumbing incompetent lol - tried PB Blaster and WD-40 to help - to no avail - googled and found your video - in minutes - problem solved! Thanks agian!!

@carterscustomrods 2 года назад

ughh...dang, I have a 1 inch hose I don't want to ruin. and I can't find adapters to fit my expensive hose anywhere.

@how2q 2 года назад

Woah a one inch hose...man sorry haven't had that issue. I wish I could help!

@avadhanam77 Год назад

My nozzle was stuck to hose. Tried channel locks until my arms hurt but nozzle wouldn't budge. Your hack saw idea did the trick. Thank you!

@how2q Год назад

Awesome…glad it helped

@beckyjones8951 Год назад

sir, 😊i can’t thank you enough for saving this single lady to replace the old hoses successfully for a new washing machine and NOT snapping the copper in my ancient 1920 shack!!! you saved me some money as well as my sanity and confidence!!!! 👍🙏☺️😁😁

@how2q Год назад

Haha awesome!! So easy and satisfying!

@brycemmcclure Год назад

Please also don't slice your hand open with a hack saw. Always cut away from your hand.

@how2q Год назад

Great point!

Good suggestion. Got my hose of pretty quick, nicked up the threading a bit but it should still be usable.

@how2q 2 года назад

Glad it worked!!

@corryunedited8154 Год назад

Same here. Mine was the hot water supply for my washer. The nicked threads don't seem to have caused a problem.

@mangofever4681 Год назад

What to do if you over cut and damage threads?

@how2q Год назад

Just hope its not deep enough to leak when hose attached. Basically will need replacing if thats the case. I have overcut w grinder but was no leak (thank god)

@Edward_Rogue 3 года назад

Would clr or vinegar work instead of hack saw?

@how2q 3 года назад

I shot it w PB Blaster with no luck. This is a rental so hacksaw was quickest solution. Possibly numerous applications of the PB or CLR might work. Sorry I don’t have a better answer

Thanks so much for your idea. I'm going to try it tomarrow. First I would like to know if I can replace that ring I'm cutting off or do I need to buy a whole new hose ?

New hose…sorry

@TheSeedsower107 Год назад

@@how2q thanks, I found out that I can keep my hose. I only need to cut off the damaged end and replace it with a new one. Easy fix. Thanks for your advice on the problem again !

@@how2q Your very welcome. You just need a female hose end replacement kit. You can buy them at any hardware store.

Thank you very much! I keep seeing videos with the two wrenches method, and I still wasn't sure if I could get it done, I didn't want to break the pipe and I didn't want to buy another wrench. IF I have to buy another tool, I'd rather it be a hacksaw, lol. This I can handle. You rock!

@jimtheedcguy4313 2 года назад

I hate when the answer is so obvious yet I didn't think about it lol! On my last visit to Phoenix, I noticed a lot of homes have swamp coolers, do they actually work to cool the whole house and are the substantially more energy efficient than an ac unit?

@how2q 2 года назад

Ha they are not the most efficient only because they don’t pump out the cold air like a traditional ac unit. Only can do so much.
