Grandpas 39+ Old Life Hacks You'll Wish You Knew Sooner

[@tomtroy3792]

Before putting two pieces of a fishing pole together Grandpa used to rub the side of his nose with his finger and put nose oil on one of the pieces before inserting into the other piece. Makes it easier to come apart when it's time to put it away. I've even used nose oil on a squeaky oar l o c k it works!

[@BasherBrookes]

That same oil will help your line float if fishing on the surface 👍

[@CassandraWoodruff]

Also brings down the head on a soda... well YOUR soda. 😂😂😂

[@CassandraWoodruff]

A length of PVC, one cap glued on, another cap and you can soak ALL wooden tool handles in linseed oil efficiently. Plus you can store the oil convenient for future use

[@nolongerhuman13]

Also, don’t forget that Lin seed oil if left in a tightly crunched up rag will catch fire by itself after a few hours. Store used wind seed rags in a bucket of water to avoid this. Ignore this information at your own peril.

[@paulmartin2348]

Nope.

[@gregorydennison1038]

Grandpa had a pool noodle?? 😂

[@thegarbagefly]

No

[@RonnieSixx]

My Grandfather never needed a phone stand....

[@travistackett797]

The coin in the toilet is a waste of money. A rock or similar object would cost less and take up more space. I’ve seen people use a brick if they had the space in the toilet. Also you can adjust or bend down the float!

[@Louis-e6q]

Yeah 👍 I've heard about the brick ,,,, but a coin 😂😂😂

[@bw3506]

I'm thinking that coin in the tank deal was confused with using coins for weight in the old Universal Bundle type flush valve to limit flush time therefore saving water. They used a bucket apparatus that tipped over to allow the flush instead of the "flapper" type common today.

Being in my new 30s I wish I knew a few of these when I was a teen🦁

[@roncowan276]

Grandpa was smart.

[@anthonymathison2050]

I put a small amount of rice in the salt shaker to keep the salt from caking up.

[@marylowe7135]

Also for shiny faucets, spray a tiny amount of WD40 and rub faucets with it, shines like new!!

[@BasherBrookes]

How much water is a coin going to displace…???

[@cturn9494]

Wanted to check before I said the same thing.. I was thinking…a brick?

[@bw3506]

​@@cturn9494seems like I saw a "Hack" video using a tall bottle of water.

[@La_Roo]

Grandma probably would have strangled Grandpa if he used Cream of Tartar to polish stainless steel. That stuff is expensive, far costlier than stainless steel polish!

[@berthalloway8182]

Add rice to keep seeds from getting moist

[@jeffharper7579]

I save the silcon package and use them

[@deborahgross1045]

As a new construction house painter for almost 40 years I have strained paint with panty hose more time than I can count.

[@dougboyd7732]

Put a few drops of vanilla in your paint so it doesn't stink when painting

[@MattMartin-ql6en]

If you're out of envelope glue you need to return the box of envelopes to the store you got them from.

[@CassandraWoodruff]

My dead grandmother let the return window close 😮

[@badad0166]

6:35 That ain't flour, that's Kitchener Leslie's girlfriend, Cornstarch!

[@GeradBarron-n5z]

What kind of linseed oil, there is raw and boiled, one kind we put on wood ladders, other for keeping oil based paint brushes in

[@CassandraWoodruff]

Sounds more like the ladder application, all wooden handled tools benefit from soaking in it (unboiled I think) the cheaper one

[@danielduquette3066]

My Grandpa used rocks in the toilet 🚽 tank not coins 🤷🏻‍♂️ rocks make more sense than coins ?.

[@Sig.40]

Momma used a brick

[@redmondray8066]

Grandpa used zip ties on his cell phone? 😂

[@MattMartin-ql6en]

I'm not sure where you came up with all these but they are not Grandpas.

[@mikejones6529]

Grandpa had a hack for a cell phone stand?

[@Louis-e6q]

A coin 😂?

[@hydrotilling7043]

I understand this person that made this movie has been isolated their whole entire life in an apartment after watching this

[@MattMartin-ql6en]

Do not put linseed oil on fine leather!! Linseed oil is for wood.

[@hydrotilling7043]

I think this person got grandma and grandpa mixed up Also, a pool noodle was not invented yet

[@mattkennedy7853]

Shit wrap bacon to anything to make it taste good

[@fredginger1969]

A coin? Thats a bit of a waste of money! Cut the top of a soda bottle off and insert the bottom half into the toilet cistern. That will fill with water that wont away. This does the same job as your coin trick!

[@seansullivan7928]

6:48 its ooblick

[@patduurloo7077]

Use the rice in gun cabinet

[@thegarbagefly]

Nail polish comes off within a month

[@wandahall4435]

❤❤❤😮😮😮😊😊😊

[@nolongerhuman13]

Wouldn’t you just use rice to keep your seeds fresh instead of silica packets, which are poisonous? If it works for rust and moisture, it will work for seeds and moisture just use rice for Christ sake.😂

[@dyoung2437]

There’s a lot better ways to do these things and most of the stuff is bull why would you use charcoal to clean something this crap might have worked in grandpas day when you couldn’t buy cleaning supplies

[@skinebman1]

Honestly this is all fairly stupid

[@jeffbarron5500]

This looks like granny hacks, there was no grandpa cleaning faucets , LOL your such a twit

[@JohnPenn77]

Did your Grandpa use "hack" to describe a useful tip? NO! Was your Grandpa a hack? Why are you trying to change the meaning of this word like so many others are? For likes? Look it up in the dictionary (book edition) Means to phukk it up. Don't be a hack.
