What happens here

After mechanically cleaning, thoroughly wipe down all wrench components with rubbing alcohol using a cotton swab. This step removes any remaining grease, oil, dust, or fine metal particles, ensuring the surface is perfectly clean and ready for optimal paint adhesion.

Goal: Create a pristine surface on the wrench components for paint application.

That Fix It GuyAir Force–trained plumber

Brian learned plumbing in the U.S. Air Force and has plumbed his way around the world. Now he films the fixes homeowners actually face: slow toilets, dripping faucets, clogged drains, failing water heaters and disposals. He shows what broke, why it broke, and how to fix it for a fraction of the cost of replacing it. He's particular about the right part, too: no snappy traps, no chemical drain cleaners. His rule: if he can do it, you can do it.
