Just realized I was wasting way too much time on toilet flange repairs

Used to always cut out the old cast iron flange and replace it with a new PVC one. Took like 45 minutes every time and I hated dealing with the hub on those old pipes. Then a guy I was working with on a job site in Denver showed me how he just uses those twist-n-set repair rings. Honestly never even knew they existed. Now I can fix a broken flange in 10 minutes flat. Saves me so much hassle on those older commercial buildings. Has anyone else made the switch to those repair rings? I still feel like I'm cheating somehow.

Right, because nothing says "fun afternoon" like chiseling out old cast iron and fighting with a hub for 45 minutes. I switched to those twist-n-set rings last year and honestly it feels like I'm getting away with a crime every time I use one. But hey, if it works and the customer doesn't see you do it, I call that a win.
