Darius from Plumbdog is giving some love to one of his favourite plumbing tools — the Rigid 150 tube cutters. These are a must-have in any plumber’s kit, but like all good tools, they need a bit of TLC every now and then.

In this video, Darius takes you step-by-step through a full rebuild and service — cleaning, greasing, and reassembling the rollers and winders — to keep them working like new.

In This Video

•How to strip down and rebuild Rigid 150 tube cutters
•Removing jammed rollers and cleaning out corrosion
•The right way to grease and reassemble moving parts

“The Rigid 150s are one of my go-to tools — they’ve been through it all. But every now and then, they need a proper service to keep them spinning smooth.”

The Result

•Rebuilt Rigid 150s performing like new

•Clean, lubricated, and corrosion-free components

Not every plumbing job ends with just pipes and fittings… sometimes it ends with a freezer full of meat! Richie from Plumbdog headed out to a job in Midland, helped a customer out, and left with more than just a smile and a 5-star Google review.

The customer surprised him with a massive bag so heavy he could barely lift it — packed with prime cuts, lamb shanks, and steaks for the Plumbdog pups. Needless to say, the dogs were very happy with Richie’s day on the tools!

Ever had one of those days where everything that can go wrong… does? That was Richard’s Monday at Plumbdog.

The Morning Mayhem

Richard started the day with the usual routine: drop the kids off, jump in the van, and head to the first job. But chaos struck fast:

1️⃣ Delivery mix-up – plumbing products were delivered… to the wrong house. After a bit of detective work, he tracked them down across the road at a house with a removed hot water system. Crisis averted! ✅

2️⃣ Power outage at the job – setting up for a shower breach replacement behind tiles, the drill wouldn’t work. ⚡ Turns out, the electrician on-site had turned the power off to upgrade the fuse board.

Plumber vs Electricity

Tiles ready to come off, power down, Richard had no choice but to:

•Laugh

•Head to the local park

•Wait for a text before getting back to work

Even though the day started stressful, Richard made the most of it — enjoying the sunshine after a rainy weekend and keeping perspective.

💡 Takeaway

Sometimes plumbing isn’t just about pipes — it’s about:

•Patience

•Problem-solving

•Keeping a sense of humour
