My favorite use of a SharkBite was when I turned off the water to the
house, cut out a section of pipe, slapped a SharkBite cap on the end
of the live section and turned the water back on - all before the
commercial was over and without anyone in the house knowing I had shut
off the water, including my wife who was cooking dinner in the
kitchen.

Yep. *That's one of my favorites. *Cut and cap almost as quickly as

I recall the time before pre-SharkBites that I was trying to sweat a
cap onto a line.

Just as the solder started to flow the cap shot off the end of the
pipe with a POP and flew across the basement, spewing the liquid
solder in its path.

I'm glad no one else was nearby...could have caused injuries.
