Woo hoo! The tips made the cut! Thank you so MUCH for the shout out, Clint! Anything to help the trades and tool community. Thank you, again, and God bless! 😎🎸💯
Just this morning I had to wrestle 2 buckets apart and I went from "Normal person" to "Church burner" in the process. This is definitely a trick i need to know! Thanks
I love this channel and your antics. I’ve picked up so many great tips. Just the other day I grabbed my 3 Home Depot buckets and once I was in my yard, I spent several agonizing minutes trying to get them apart. I felt like I was in a comedy sketch. Thanks for the public service.
take a round, wheeled plant caddy and attach it to the opening of the 5 gallon bucket (remove the handle prior). Now you have a wheeled seat. I work in hardware at the orange gorilla and we made one for our dept use.
Great tips Dave & Clint! I toss a small wafer of 1/4" plywood between my buckets beore nesting them... just enough to prevent a seal from forming. Colin Knecht also had a different technique in one of his recent tip videos. Maybe you already have some buckets that are nested and jammed -- too late to use the handle or wafer techniques. I haven't tried it, but Colin's tip was to dribble some water into the seam between the buckets, which is just enough to ... I guess lubricate? ... and the seal will relax, letting you get the buckets apart.
AND if you got 2 buckets stuck together, just take your air gun from your compressor and shoot it down into the bottom bucket and magically the top one will float off like a fairy princess.
Hitting the paddle gives an acceleration with respect to the water and a vibration in the steel. Both will encourage water to infiltrate behind the mud or paint. Great info!
Just stumbled on your channel and am I glad I did. Do you really have a job man? Where do you came up with this stuff? You must stay awake at night thinkin of new material. You are good man! Had to subscribe! Keep up the good work.
When I was having a bad day at the Home Depot, as an employee, I would enjoy the customers ranting and raving as they would try to separate those buckets.
DAMN! I don't even have a thick gooey paddle, but that was the bomb! (wish I had a thick gooey paddle, tho). And, those sounds you made while trying to separate those buckets... MAN, that was like my honeymoon all over again. Sad sack that I am, I only have one bucket, so... no honeymoon sounds in MY garage! ...sad, I know... (not even the sounds 😭) subscibed!
you can also separate your stuck buckets with your air compressor. if you can get your nozzle in between them just a tiny bit, shoot some air in between the buckets and the air will push them apart
Great contribution Dave! Another TTT for the win 👍. I love those buckets from the Deeps...admittedly, I use them to store all of my son’s baseballs when I have him hit off the tee. You’re a beast Clint and thanks for sharing 👊
My tip for separating buckets is get a garden hose with a jet spray nozzle and shoot it into the inside rim of the bottom bucket. The water will separate them by the air pressure built up. I learned this trick first while trying to separate plastic trash cans.
I will sure try to smack my paddle if its full of mud next time. If your bucket is really stuck you can blow some air from your compressor between the buckets, that will sure help
The bucket idea is better because I cannot stand I'll use wooden shims cardboard I'll use almost anything because I hate when the pockets stick together you also get that with the garbage pails productive people put them together and you'll never get them apart it's really amazing how strong of a suction it creates
The "Stuck Buckets" tip was incredible! Thanks. For removing the residue on the paddle, WHY NOT spin the paddle with your drill instead of hammering on it? If the "Paddle-in-the-Drill" worked to stir the mixture, why wouldn't it work in the secondary bucket of water? 'Just thinking out loud!
It Wednesday 4ish in mornin here . I got 4 buckets in the house. It always takes time to put it over the handles. Ow bout a pop rivet or some kinda stop at near the bottom of bucket (which ya only need to do once), so that the bucket doesn't go all the way down. ....is that an alternative?
OR -- and just throwing this out, here -- if the buckets are stuck together, insert a large flathead screwdriver in the tiny gap between them and twist and they'll pull apart. ;)
If you can't get the two buckets apart and have a air compressor and a good air nozzle. (not one with a safety side hole) but one that focuses the air out of a single hole, you can press it in-between and blow them apart. However before I learned that I have gotten mad and thrown them like you did and had them separate before lol
All my buckets get about a 12" piece of cotton clothesline rope tied to the handle.....simply drop the piece of rope into the lower bucket and it stops it from making a suction
I always just use the drill in the bucket of water. Some taps on the side and it does the same thing I guess. But hey if you want to go get a hammer that works too.
You sure that hammer didn't fall and hit you in the head it's a lot better than the idea I gave you with the headlights but soon as I fix my phone I have to show you the extension cord roll up
you forgot the vacuum lid for bucket..home depot..bucket vacuum. put a dolly under it and voila..im gonna rig it for dewalt battery to go cordless maybe
