Mission accomplished! The most useful tool for faucet installation? A hack saw!! (for removing the old faucet!)

I save a lot of major home related projects for big holiday weekends
like the one we just had. This weekend, I decided it was time to
change out the 80's era kitchen faucet. The faucet installation was
pretty straight forward, but removing the old faucet was a BEAR! I
tried to finesse it out of there, but in the end, I had to break out
the hack saw to cut through the old copper water lines. From what I
noticed in shopping other models of faucets, installations can vary
(newer designs are a lot more installation/removal friendly), so if
you're going to do this project yourself, I'd recommend keeping a saw
or similar tools on hand just in case. Check out the before and after
photos - I'd say a couple hours under the sink was worth it!
