How to install a faucet and reinstall garbage disposal for countertop replacement

What happens here

The presenter begins by explaining that the kitchen has recently received new quartz countertops and a new stainless steel undermount sink. The goal is to reinstall the old garbage disposal and install a new single-hole kitchen faucet. The existing ABS P-trap beneath the sink is identified as being too short for the new setup, requiring modification and the installation of an adapter. The presenter then showcases all the tools and materials that will be used for the project, including a 1 1/2-inch P-trap, an extension tube, an ABS trap adapter, adjustable wrenches (specifically highlighting a DeWalt two-pack set for its wide jaw opening), channel lock pliers (emphasizing their versatility), a 6-in-1 screwdriver with a solid core for hammering, an 8-inch E-Z stroke pipe saw (referred to as a 'ginsu' for its cutting ability on ABS/PVC), Oatey medium black ABS cement, Sta Put plumber's putty, and Megaloc multi-purpose thread sealant.

Goal: This step introduces the project, which involves reassembling a kitchen after new countertops and an undermount sink. The main tasks are reinstalling the old garbage disposal and a new faucet. The necessary tools and materials for the plumbing work are also presented.
