Spent 4 hours trying to fix a leaky faucet that just needed a 10 cent o-ring
I bought one of those 'universal' faucet repair kits for $25 and tore apart my bathroom sink three times before my neighbor walked over and handed me the right o-ring from his junk drawer. Has anyone else had a simple fix that turned into a full afternoon project because you bought the wrong parts?

That whole "universal" thing is a trap honestly... it really means it fits almost nothing from my experience. I think the real trick is to just bring the old part to the hardware store so you can match it up by sight instead of guessing. And yeah your neighbor absolutely saved you, it's always the junk drawer that has the answer.

Bringing the old one to the store is the only way honestly...
