Tried the compression sleeve trick my uncle swore by and it actually worked on my kitchen faucet
My kitchen faucet at home was dripping nonstop for two weeks. My uncle said to just swap the rubber sleeve inside the compression fitting instead of replacing the whole cartridge, and I was skeptical but it stopped the drip after 20 minutes. Has anyone else had luck with that old school fix over the fancy kits?

Read somewhere that those old plumbers tricks are usually better than the new stuff because they actually fixed things instead of just replacing them.

The whole "old tricks are always better" thing sounds like something a grandpa would say to feel important, lol. @the_sean I get that some old school methods worked and all, but let's be real. Plumbers back then didn't have half the tools we have now, so they had to patch things together with hope and duct tape. Yeah, maybe it lasted, but that doesn't mean a new fix is just throwing money at a problem. Sometimes a full replacement actually solves the issue instead of just kicking the can down the road, you know?
