Great video! Funny, I just installed new drawer pulls yesterday. I didn’t know you could cut down the screw using a wire cutter. I ended up using washers to ‘shorten’ the screw. One comment though on your video–I was hoping to see how to measure the hole where the knob goes in your cabinet door. The jig for this costs me about $20, but was hoping there’s a cheaper DIY way. Thanks!
Wouldn’t marking the screw, measuring the length then buying a pack of the right length 8/32′s machine screws be a WHOLE lot easier than cutting all the screws?
Although 8/32 is the most common knob and pull size there are certain style hardware that is actually smaller. Sometimes the correct length screws ,depending upon projection into hardware,is just not available. I have installed many kitchens in my life with both supplied hardware from cabinet company and after market suppliers and maybe 2 or3 times was it not necessary to at least cut some screws. Even the break off screws don’t always have a break off point needed+++Bob
A day late and a dollar short. story of my life LOL +++Bob
What happened to the background music? I liked that..
Me too,but alot of viewers have mentioned that they do not like it.+++BOB
I liked the background music also – it was a very happy sound. Anyway, I replaced 1 piece of new hardware, and didn’t know about the different placement of the holes. The placement was wider than the new handles I bought – So now I have to fill the holes and faux finish the filled hole to look the same color/texture. Live and learn.

We have all been there before not an exclusive club I think! Thanks +++Bob
The background music was okay for several videos, but after watching many of your videos it did get annoying/repetitive.
That Teflon tape is that the equivalent to PTFE tape us Brits use?
Yep, just replaced a whole bath with #10/24 screws…the 8/32’2 I had in the van were useless…
Yes, Teflon is the brand name for PTFE
