Oh and you know H depot is orange, sound like a BB store expert to me

I go to both when need be, depends on where I am and what I need. I really like Lowes 3/4hp ISE SS disposal for $119.

Lately I've been buying mostly from online plumbing supplies and saving $$. My garage is getting crowded tho......

I had some kitchen sink faucets that the box's got damaged at home depot but I sold all of those....40.00 each is what I paid.

I will buy anything that I know the ends and outs of......I have the advantage EVERYTIME. Its like playing pool for money.....I never gamble,to gamble I would hafta be playing a player equal to me or better and I never play anyone for money thats equal to me or better so its not really a gamble is it?

Point being when you have the nuts.......a sure thing is a sure thing if its pool,faucets or whatever.

I was thinking about getting one for making crimps in tight places. If they would make one that only had 1 hole(size) I would get a set for sure. It would be really compact.

I got the Pocket Pex Crimper. Got it on sale cause someone tried to open it. It is around 20 bucks new I think, I got it for $5. I figured it would come in handy someday when I left my pex crimpers somewhere else. Never used it yet though. Seems like to me it will come in handy sometime in a tight spot or under a house where there is alot of mud that could damage a high dollar pex crimper.

Itsused alot in manablock type systems. Each fixture hot and cold gets its own 3/8 line from the main manifold.
