you get the hero of the day award! thanks for the help, I feel great knowing that I did not have to ask someone to come out and fix the faucet!

Super helpful; just tightened the loose faucet handle that's been driving me crazy for weeks. Thank you!

Thank you very much for such short but very helpful video. I have been struggling for a while now with my kitchen’s faucet handle. I kept forgetting to tell the landlord, but you just saved me the hassle of having people in my apartment. I had the tools and I did it myself with your help. No more burns. I truly appreciate you!

Thank you, I was able to fix my faucets quickly during the holidays. Very helpful!

Thank you.

Thank you very much I was clueless 👍🏻

Very helpful. Thank you!

Greatly appreciate your video. I was able to fix my sink in matter of mins.

Thanks for the video!!! Very helpful.

Should the tap be ‘up’, because I can’t seem to connect the Allen wrench with the set screw?

Thanks young man!

Thank you!

Hello. I used a 3/32 in. Hex key, and it fit just right. My faucet was nearly identical to the one shown in the video.

What size was that Allen key ?

Thanks ExpertVillage Leaf Group

Now what size screw is that you're using, because we have the same faucet but lost the screw , though the handles can be put back on we have to be careful how we turn or it'll keep falling off.

I have an old peerless faucet and as a almost blind senior just spent 2 hrs trying all my alen keys and found one that seemed to fit but can't unscrew it !! why do they make these things so hard to work with .. couldn't they just have put in a reg screw... thanks

There isn't even a screw in mine??? Is that what's causing my tap to leak from the ball part when I turn it on half way up? Or does that part have a washer inside it? My water pressure went down but just on this tap that has no screw, that's now leaking after a few years. I'm 60 female, poor af and try to fix things myself, so any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Edit: okay figured out the hex key thing. However, it's tight enough. So, how do I pry off that top piece? I'll try to figure it out.

I used a little ‘eyeglass repair kit’ flathead screwdriver to get the plastic cover off.

Photograph your faucet or get the name and model # and go to a hardware store. They sell those tiny set screws.

I cant find the screw i see something in the back but its covered.

There's no screw. Just get a hex/Allen key to fit in there and it will turn. Sorry, there is a set screw inside but the hex key is what you need

I took my whole faucet apart in order to replace the O ring at the granite edge since then, the faucet keeps loosening and I’m having a hard time FINDING the set screw let alone tightening it. Is it possible I somehow stripped the set screw?

Why my comment is not added

Okay my handle fell off but I don't know how to put it back on to tighten it can someone please explain it

You need to find that very tiny ‘set screw’; it may have fallen inside the tap or is underneath your sink in the cabinet beneath. It’s REALLY tiny. If it’s lost you can photograph the faucet and buy one from a hardware store.

There’s a little plastic access cover on mine; it’s the same colour as the tap. Put the plug in the sink so you don’t lose it and gently pry it out with a tiny flathead screwdriver or tweezers.

Maybe...CLEANING the nasty thing ONCE in a while? Yecch.

Thank you!
