- How to unclog a bathtub drain.
The tool in my video is called a "Tub Drain Wrench" (imagine that). :0)
It costs around $10 or $11.
The Plastic "Zip tie" is called a "Hair Snake" and costs @$3.

The way he Constantly looks back at the camera feels like he is really trying to make you understand and he cares so much. I got mad Respect for this man right here, i wish i could do more than Like and comment and share, he deserves so much❤️
and the "You got this" at the end, what a great guy!
I know right I adore this so much 🥰
@@alliel9970 i commented on that too
Him looking back often really feels like he is talking _to_ you and that you're really there, not just you watching some video.
You can, spread the word and tell ppl to subscribe ☺️
Some ideas:
- how to replace a car air filter (shops charge a lot for this!)
- how to change a furnace filter
- putting out fires
- leaking sink
- lawn care (various tools, how to set up sprinklers, shutting off water, basic sprinkler repair)
- shining shoes
- lighting a water heater
- cleaning gutters
- beginner tool sets (must haves when moving out)
- Maybe review bang for buck brands of tools
- sports rules, card games to play with family, things to pass time
- basic first aid
- things to consider/remember when looking for an apartment or home
Totally agree with the how to change a furnace filter. I always get confused by the arrows on the new filter as well.
I used to have to shine my shoes for marching band back in highschool. Our shoes were white, so if they weren't cleaned and polished it really looked bad.
Beginner tools is a solid idea.
I like the idea of the the beginners tool!
Beginner tools is a must have!
We have to protect dad at all costs from the toxic comments
*_Must protecc the dad of CZcams._*
I never had a dad. I had a deadbeat sperm donor, and an abusive drug addict step dad. I moved out at 17, and I've been living for two years on my own, and there's so much stuff like this that I have no clue how to do. Thank you so much
Good luck bro
Man thats so sad to hear ❤️ good luck with everything and hopefully things have been (or will) turn for the bright side :)
Felix, you're going in the right direction. YT and google are your friends. Don't be afraid to attempt anything, what's the worst thing that could happen? You might have to call someone for more help. Don't get frustrated, there are some things you would need special skills to do. I don't do much auto motor repair or welding for example or electrical work but you can figure it out or always call someone for a little help. Most skilled people will not criticize you for trying.
I'm so heartbroken for you, Felix. I'll be praying for you. There is a God who is a Father to the fatherless. He created you & knows all your sorrows, trials, & pain. I'll be praying that you will get to know him so that he can he can give you hope for your future & restore the years that were taken from you. Read the book of John in the Bible. ❤🙏
You are a strong person. 👏👏👏
You don’t know how much this channel is touching peoples lives. My dad passed away a little over 7 years ago, right after my 20th birthday. I’ve never been able to call him with “adult life and living on my own” questions, and this is the best channel I’ve ever found. I’m in tears right now. Thank you for being the kind of man that you are. ❤️
Thanks you for the kind words Rachel, I am sorry to hear that you lost your dad.
@@DadhowdoI Hi, Man
You Can Be My New Dad Of CZcams :)
So sorry for your loss x
Currently going through this as well, passed two months ago the day after my 20th birthday:(
Hell yeah you’re my second dad now, I’ve been trying to do this for ages but was too scared of breaking it
Congratulations on a new dad
Guess he's my dad too
Second dad
Me To Dad: *"YOU… ARE… THE FATHER…* Of All Of Us On CZcams"
I swear by that long hook thingy, I think I got one for like $4 at Home Depot. Definitely try that first!
My dad died last week and my bath tub clogged and I sat crying for hours cause I couldn't figure out how to fix it...thank you so much. I'm still in my teenage years and still need to learn. Thank you for this channel
God bless you with his peace and comfort.
I'm with you. I nearly had a crying panic attack the first time I went to Lowe's.....after dad passed and husband left. I couldn't figure out where to start and didnt know the terminology for what I was looking for. Be blessed and hang in there.
Your comment brought me to tears. I’m sorry for your loss😔
I will be happy to join my channel, and be a friend of mine so we can learn together. Subscribe and do the bell. please..czcams.com/video/dAv2V1Xi088/video.html😊😘
@@abderrahman5744 doesnt work you need to delete the emoijs
I'm a recently widowed 31 year old. Now it's up to me to do the "dad stuff" around the house. I have no idea what I'm doing over here, but I'm ready to try. I needed this in my life right now. THANK YOU!
Lindsey, you can do it! 💖 My husband passed away 6 years ago when I was 28. Much love to you 💖
Sorry for your loss.
If any one ever dislikes your videos. It’s cause they are the dad that walked out. I hope your channel blows up. I saw you on reddit.
Thanks for the kind words Kendra! 👍
Actually. Ive come up with a possibility of why this happens.
I noticed it after it happened to me. One day, I was going to comment on a video and went to scroll down. In my comment, I was referencing the video and needed exact quotes.
On my way scrolling back up, i noticed I disliked the video. Only reason why was cause I had accidentally clicked dislike as I was scrolling and hadnt noticed beforehand.
Had i not scrolled back up, i probably wouldnt have noticed. Im sure there's trolls and assholes that dislike stuff like this, but I'm betting most of those dislikes are accidental and not intentional.
I read somewhere that there are bots that just dislike videos. So yeah, could be a bot, not a person.
@@SK3564 I doubt it. I have a few videos with 0 dislikes. If it was a bot disliking the videos, thered be no reason why videos have 0 dislikes.
He just gained 180k subs in 15 hours, we have to protect him
You are now everybody’s new dad - THANK YOU
You're welcome Carla. 👍
This channel is so wholesome I’m almost crying watching this guy explain how to clean a drain
I'm right there with you!
Same here. I am watching this, smiling and close to tears and I'm thinking wtf is wrong with me.
I haven't spoken to my dad in over 10 years and my boyfriend doesn't have a relationship with his dad. Thank you for showing us how to do things we never were shown 💕
Seriously you and your boyfriend are shit if you don't know to do this. Like seriously how are you Americans that lame... my 14 year old sister knows how to do this. smh
@@jobsmine please tell me you're being an ass as a bad joke
Jobs mine fuck off do you have anything better to do
Jobs mine yeah I don’t know how to do any of this my dad left when I was two I grew up with a single mom and this is very helpful to me
@@jobsmine I'm not American and my single mother raised us, but thanks :) I do know how to clean a drain but to snake it? Nah that's what landlords are for
Hi, i saw your kids fb post and I just to say THANK YOU. No one really taught me anything growing up lol I'm so excited to fix something and suprise my husband
You're welcome Ian. :0)
Ian Duray I’m here also because of the Facebook post.
I'm here because reddit shared the Facebook post
Thanks Xane, I was wondering why it was blowing up! 👍
also here from facebook! THANK YOU DAD!
maybe a what to keep in your car emergency kit...how to paint a room...how to paint an outside railing, how to garden/yard work...also, thank you!! i didn't grow up with a father so this is comforting :')
Thanks Michelle. 👍
Yes!! How to use gardening power equipment..lawn mowers, trimmers, chainsaws all that. Husband grew up without father and doesn't know how to do many things😕 ..I gladly help bit idon't have the time or patience
the people who are disliking your videos have no soul, you’re helping me and other children who are growing up without dads
thank you.. ❤️
My Dad died when I was in 5th Grade. I wish we had something like this back then. You are doing an awesome thing. Much Respect to you Sir!!
Dear ‘Dad’
Thank you so much for your videos! As have so many of your viewers, my Dad died when I was a kid, and I was never taught these skills. THANK YOU!!!
I like how he keeps looking at the camera. It really feels like a dad trying to teach you something, always looking back to see if you are still paying attention.
Wish this channel existed when I was growing up. In my mid 20s now but so glad someone is thinking outside the box. So many kids now with no idea how to do any of this. And it's not their fault. Glad your here to help them.
I’m 69 years old and my dad died when I was just 11. Now I realize why I’m so inept at home DIY projects. Never too late to get help from a dad! Thanks for lowering my water bill.
❤keep them coming. How to start a fire in a fireplace. There's a whole.process to where small pieces and newspaper go with big pieces. Change furnace filters. Cook a steak on a grill and not explode the propane tank. How to back a trailer up on a truck. How to stack firewood. How to manage household recycling separating it and getting a schedule. How to get a Fish pole ready and what bait to use...bobber weights worms. What to have in a tool kit so you can be ready for projects. How to turn off water in house or check a breaker.
Those are the kind of videos I'm really looking forward to, since my mom already took care of most things shown in his videos. But cooking a steak or even grilling? She's got no idea tbh
Michele Fagan we have had a fire place for 7 years and never used it because we didn’t know how I’d love that!
I found you thanks to your daughter, and this is just so awesome. I lost my dad a month ago yesterday, so you're my new dad. Thanks. Seriously though, thank you for doing this....the world needs more dads like you.
Wow, Samantha! I am sorry you lost your dad. 🙏 Thanks for the kind words, glad I can help in a small way. 👍
My Dad was a Master Plumber. He passed away Jan 28 of this yr. Thank you for making this for those of us with no one to call.
Thank you for being here when my dad can’t.
For those wondering, my dad is still alive and around me everyday, but he’s absent and doesn’t show me anything about how to do important things like this. Thank you 💕
My dad passed in 2014 when I was fifteen and there's been a lot of times stuff gotten clogged up or broken and I just wished I could call him to ask what to do and I just hope you know what your channel really means to people out here.
Thank you for choosing to be our dad.
New subscriber! Grew up as a foster child my whole life, and never really had a father figure to help me learn skills like this. I really appreciate your work.
This guy is like the dad I've never had
My dad suffered a massive brain aneurysm the 1 year I was married. Praise the Lord he survived, but cam back very different. Before, my dad was a farmer and worked dawn to dusk. Now he can't remember what he had for breakfast. Your videos remind me of when he would teach me everything. You are a blessing! God the Father is loving this along with so many of us that miss our dads. Thank you and God bless.
As a single mom and not having a dad to show me these things, I love that I can come to these videos to help me where I have no help. Thanks 🥰 needed this video today
I love how you end every video with, “You got this!” 🥺❤️ What you’re doing is awesome.
My Dad died when I was 12, I'm 32 now and I think about him everyday - there's so much I missed and so much basic DIY that I just dont know how to do. I put up a shelf two years ago and I was so proud of myself. This channel is such a great help - seeing the way you talk to the camera it honestly brought me to tears, I miss my Dad so much but this channel really helps me learn the basics that i'm sure he would have taught. Thank you mate.
Thank you sir. My dad is the "You're supposed to figure that out by yourself" kinda dad so you are of immense help to me, a young adult with little practical knowledge of most basic things.
* edit * Thanks to several weeks of attempting comunication my dad reluctantly realized that I need some guidance, so now he's starting to talk a lot more to me and show me how to get stuff done. Now he became the "hold this, watch and learn" dad I needed. Still, your help is still greatly appreciated.
I will be happy to join my channel, and be a friend of mine so we can learn together. Subscribe and do the bell. please..czcams.com/video/dAv2V1Xi088/video.html😊😘
Me: I can probably just skip the plumber's putty
Dad CZcamsr: definitely don't skip the putty
Anyways, thanks for the video!
You’re now my third dad. My dads in heaven, my step dad is still my hero, but you’re my third dad now.
Oh my god, this is so freaking heartwarming what the hell. I can clear my bathtub drain, but i couldnt get this big smile on my face without your video. What an awesome guy!
I'm over 3k miles away from my dad, and we aren't close to begin with. I come to your videos for help! Thank you! I couldn't figure it out, and now I successfully unclogged my drain!
My dad was too busy drinking all the time to teach me anything. I don’t know a thing about doing that kind of stuff.
Your videos make me feel like someone actually cares about me. It means a lot to me.
Thank you!
The 55 who disliked this, get outta here. This man will BE the next legend!!
Your videos and these comments are exactly what the world needs. Thank you for voluntarily taking on a job that men regularly walk out on. Thank you for being everyone’s dad. ❤️
Did he really go out and buy that random tool just to show us? This guy is awesome! I'm so lucky to have my own dad teaching me things, but I really never stopped to think about just how much dad really does teach me about ... adulting!
Thank you, kind sir! We appreciate you!
“Leftie loosey, righty tighty”. This is so adorable, thank you.
You know, I never had a dad. My deadbeat dad has never been in my life and i'm 25. Thanks for being there more than he ever was. o7
Single woman homeowner who's never had to do this stuff before thinks this video is the greatest ever!
Thank you for this - I had no idea it would be this easy & cost just a few bucks. And now I know how to do this regularly….
I’m so glad to see you’re at 66k subscribers in what seems like a month of posting. It’s like 1.30am I’m crying I’ve already almost watched all of your videos since finding your channel on Reddit. Even at the end man when you’re like “You got this” you’re like the zeitgeist of Great Dads. Please keep making more of these videos as many as you can. I don’t even know what to ask you as I’ve taught myself everything but I’m only 27 so there are undoubtedly plenty of battles I’ll have appreciated learning from you first. Like the Toilet, This bathtub and the Oil! You’re the best. Thanks CZcams Dad.
Edit: just in the off chance you read this were you at all influenced by Jordan Peterson? Either way please don’t stop being the good in the world you’re the best.
Thanks, Dad. My own dad would never show me how to do this without berating me about it first.
I have company coming tomorrow unexpectedly and my dad is asleep at his house and I need to figure out how to snake a drain and my first thought was to come watch my CZcams dad. Thanks dad!!
I´m twenty-one and my dad just abandoned me and my family, I´m "In charge" now, of everyone, and just started renting my own place, Thank You so much, from the bottom of my heart. You´re my internet dad (if it´s okay with you) so I can be my family´s "real life" dad.
Genuinely just learnt about the existance of drain tools I've truly needed in my life for a very long time 😯 Thank you!
Why did I get teary eyed when he said lefty loosey righty tighty 🥺
I could honestly cry right now. I hope a really cool mom follow your lead for those of us who didn't have either parent. This is so heartwarming and pure. Thank you.
Please dont stop posting videos, please keep posting, even if it’s not stuff that you fix or anything like that, a lot of people need these videos
The world needs about a billion more of you! Not all heroes wear capes 🙌🏼
This is so wholesome🥺my fave CZcams dad!
Thanks for the kind words Abbie. 😊
I like that he's looking back making eye contact with the camera as if he's really talking to us as his son/daughter. Thank you.
Dad constantly looking back at me is really reassuring.
"You got this!"
Thank you! 😊
The "you got this" at the end i wonder if he knows the simple stuff he does rrly means alot to some of us💀
I’m too embarrassed to ask my dad and step dad for advice on things like this. I’m glad this channel exist.
So many people just assume everyone has the same level of support. I had to grow up very independently, but so much I could have learned with good parents. Finally someone gets it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
"You got this" I absolutely love that ❤
I've used one of those zip tie looking things at my job whenever a guest manages to gum up their drain (Hotel.) They always want to peer over my shoulder and I have to be like "please don't, you WILL be completely grossed out" lol
Sinks drains are not garbage disposals, kids. Don't treat them like one.
You are my new hero. I’m divorced with four kids and their dad died two months ago, these are awesome!
It’s insane how well timed these videos are for me. My bathroom drain just got clocked
"Lefty loosy righty tighty" 😭 now I wont have to second guess
This is just what I needed! I haven't seen my dad in 7 years and I normally would ask him about stuff like this but this is the next best thing. Thank you for being here.
Thanks to you, I don't have to fear having unmasked maintenance workers in my apartment for small DIY repairs! Bless you!!!
Hi, my dad passed away 5 years ago this August. I can't tell you how many times since then I have thought to myself, "I wish I could call my dad up to help me with this." Your channel has helped me with so many things that he is no longer here for. I just want to say thank you so much for this channel!! ❤❤❤
I saw this on IG. My dad died ten years ago and I wish I could've asked him how to do alot of these things. I love these videos! Keep it coming!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! My dad isn’t around and I live alone with a disability but I’m very independent 😊 but I need help with this thank you
I just want you to know how amazing you are, I can just tell you are a genuinely a good person. My father walked out of my life when I was 9, when my mother passed away I was 18 and I saw my dad at her burial, I thought he was there to step in and be the father I always wanted just to find out he was there to take our house away. Fast forward to now, I’m 36 years old and still no dad. 🤷🏼♀️ wish I had been blessed with a father like you.
I am a water repair shop in Kyoto, Japan.
Many people will be saved in this video.
It is very wonderful.
I can't speak, but I looked up English in the translation function and commented English.
Oh this is just great! 👏🏻 thank you! I have a dad and he just calls “the guy that fixes stuff” so I’m exited to fix stuff on my own! 👊🏻
Thank you for making these, my parents never taught me anything haha
A true hero to those who never had a dad!
So thorough! Like, "if this doesn't work, or you don't have this, here's another way" and then going "Oh, and by the way, you'll need this too" This channel is absolutely fantastic.
I learned it the other way around- "righty tighty, lefty loosey"
You are Reddit’s and Facebook’s official dad
I'm 47 and your my dad too. I was foster child, no one ever taught me these dad things. Thank you.
My biodad split after he impregnated my mom, she was 18. I grew up without a dad. This guy, right here, is amazing. He doesn't try to sell you anything. No ulterior motives. Not looking for fame. I feel like he truly cares. I subscribe because he deserves it, you should too.
I JUST SAW THIS THANK YOUUUU
Drano just wasnt cutting it. I appreciate you
Dad, how do I build a fenced garden? Like any kind, because I’m STRUGGLING.
I’m 16 and I needed to unclog my shower today. Thank you for this. I love you.
I was one of the lucky few kids that got adopted, out of the foster system, so I have an amazing dad now. However, I was 15 when I got my dad and I still remember what it's like not having one. I'm already a subscriber but I'm gonna make an effort to watch and like every video so that anyone who wasn't as lucky, gets to keep seeing a positive male role model in their home and their life. Thank you for seeing the need and doing something about it, instead of waiting for someone else to do something. I wish you all the success in the world. 💯❤🥺
You’re so wholly . I appreciate you for all you do. Wish nothing but blessings to you and your family
Hey :) I found your channel from a post on reddit and I love it. Thank you so much, it feels very nice to have someone explaining all this so good and kind
one of the internets greatest dads
Hi Dad! your channel is awesome . I'm an English student. Thanks to you, I'm learning new vocabulary. Keep it up . In my homeland , we , as children and as adults , ask for our parents' blessing when we see them first in the morning and before bedtime. You reminded me a lot of that . God protect and bless you
I use a chopstick and drag out terrifying chunks of my hair LOL yikes.
I've actually used tweezers. I've found that the thinness helps for getting the hair off the cross-hairs.
@@CallMeAlice818 relatable hehe I've always made it work my style
Look up the tubshroom! Honestly best purchase I’ve ever made in my life as a long haired gal! It’s pretty affordable and will save u from ever doing this!
I use long nose pliers to get the hair and gunk out. Works really well. I know he uses Lowes, but I comparison shop between there, Home Depot, and Menards. I got my pliers from Menards...cheaper.
These are amazing, thank you!
Thanks Carissa. 👍
My grandpa passed away 5 days ago. He was something of a father figure for me❤️ these videos are incredibly helpful. God Bless you!
My dad i alive and played no part in my up bringing giving advice teaching to do anything giving support or love affection etc. Thank you for this channel.
This is such a cool channel! The content is well explained and you seem so nice!!
Thanks Dawn. 👍
You should do a “Dear daughter” series.
Never underestimate how often you say "lefty loosy righty tighty" as an adult
Awesome vid! Thanks
I lost my dad almost four years ago buying a new house I wish he was here to help me out, this made me so happy,
Dad, how do I check and change the oil in my car?
Hey he has a video on how to check it, but to change it how i do it is i use a jack with some cinderblocks under the car and go under and towards the front half you'll see a little nut, and you want to have something like a deep bucket under this, once you unscrew it oil will start pouring out and when it is totally drained, put the nut back on and tighten it, take out bucket, bring the car back down and add your oil. :) then if you have one use something called a "dipstick" to see how much oil you added if ur not sure how much you need to add. Hope this helps!
Please don't treat the cinder blocks (or ideally, jack stands) as optional, having your jack break while you're under your car is a nasty way to kill yourself. Jacks are made to lift, not to hold.
Edit: And make sure you block the wheels you aren't lifting too, for the same reason.
@@rin_okami oh thank you! Thinking about it i see what you mean, i will remove that
Dad, how do I get a girlfriend?
Btw great idea with the channel, looking forward to your videos
My dad passed away 11 years ago but even when he was alive he was never a handy man. Always had to call in the plumber. Thank you for guiding us through things we can fix ourselves. Its saving us so much money. You are wonderful. Keep the videos coming
Just found out about this channel on FB and just wanted to say as a regular young man from the ghetto I wanna say a lot of people needed this channel. To many walk out on they kids and it’s great to see something like this. God bless you and the family
