It happens to all of us, one day you go to turn off the hose and it just keeps dripping. That drip can cost you lots of money every year in wasted water, not to mention ticking off your better half who's had it on the honey-do list for the last 6 months. So, do you need to be a plumber to fix the faucet? No. It's so simple you can do it yourself.

Great video. Without actually seeing the used and new washers, I would never have known what the right replacement looked like. Also, I forgot (or never knew) that you could stop a stem leak by tightening the nut. Thanks!

The previous owners soldered the spigot to the water supply pipe and me thinking I needed to change the spigot, I was in a corner because I don't know how to solder. Tightening the packing solved the problem and you saved me $ and stress. Thank you so much!

This video is great! All the others just said to "tighten the packing nut." Which I did, but it didn't stop the leak. Thanks to you, now I know that there are two separate reasons for a leak, which need to be addressed individually. I was about to give up and buy a new faucet, but this video showed me how to finally fix it right. Thanks again!

I watch a lot of how-to videos on KZfaq, and I just want to compliment you guys for doing something many producers don't do: miking the talent! So many producers think the mic on the camera is plenty good enough. It's only good enough if you're not interested in hearing the person speak.

I really like how you explain why the leaks occur in the first place. In this case, the washer expands a little every time you close it tight and then it rubs on the inside of the bib. Thanks. Subscribing.

Thank you so much!!! I replaced both washers, but I still had water squirting up out of the faucet, I will have to try tightening the hex bolt tomorrow when it is light out. I had a lot of trouble getting the bonnet off at first. The builder of the house had completely painted the entire faucet. I couldn't even see the right thing to turn because of the paint, and the hard water deposits. I had to scrape the paint off with an exacto knife all around the hex, and I finally got it off!
