    Fixed my problem! My faucet is the Trinsic Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet With Touch2O Technology in case anybody else is googling that name, and the process to tighten the handle was exactly as listed here.

    Thanks so much for this. Every other video and bit of info I found on Moen faucets said it used a 7/64 hex head and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working, even after jamming a mirror back and looking at it with a light. You're correct, it's a 3/32. Very small difference, but super important.

    Thank you!!! I have a different model and thought the set screw was missing. It was just out of sight. I was trying to find a new screw and Allen wrench to fit. Presto! I tried out an Allen wrench in the space and accidentally advanced the hidden set screw when I twisted the wrench. Lever works perfectly! 😘

    Great video! It's a rare find, but we have that same Moen kitchen faucet with the same handle issue. Before watching your video, I spent a good 30 minutes trying to get various size allen keys to engage the set screw. An internet search for the size suggested 5/64" for most Moen faucet handles, with some saying 7/64.." Moen's product support says there is no standard size for the different models, and sells a set screw "set" on their website. But I'm going to see if I can find a clearly-marked 3/32" allen key and give it another shot. I'll let you know. Thanks for the video!

    @@keithbryan5737 I would first check the set screw. Do threads feel worn out? Does the screw sit squarely on the flat of the stem when tightened? Gently nudge the lever before tightening to ensure the screw is not sitting over an edge of the stem. Is the stem leaking grease and preventing the screw from a good friction grip? The grease can be wiped off with some paper napkins. I'd also avoid over tightening the set screw to avoid wearing out the threads. If everything above checks out fine, I'd then check other parts for any unusual wear. Hope this helps
