• The plunger he used is not for pulling waste backwards but to fill the cup on the inside part of the plunger (with toilet water..yes you will get a finger or 2 dirrty) and keep the water in the cup while applying the same seal he pointed at and give 1 good push with the plunger and the water inside the cup will act as a flush dislodging the blocked waste where he pointed at in the cutout. anyways I always bet people if I can unclog a toilet with 1 shot you owe me 20 bucks, and I always bring a case of beer back home.

  No glue needed, no more cutting pipes when need to break some pipe and so on…
  Is it possible to buy similar type of pipes in US?

• Over where I live (Australia), anything beyond changing a washer or a shower head is illegal and requires a licensed plumber, hence plumbers charge a fortune assuming you can get one, and many people therefore are forced to learn how to DIY this stuff anyway due to budget constraints 🙂 Thanks for the vid.

• They make a version of those slip pliers with smooth jaws so as to not mar the fittings.
