How to remove rebar driven deeply in the ground

This video shows how to remove steel rebar that has been driven deeply in the ground.

[@roberthuber8362]

lived in Colorado 27 years, then Kauai for 12 and, now S. Ca. for 16 and in construction for over 40 years - ALL these areas releasing rebar has been a pain in the a__. This was great! They didn't teach me that in Engr. College. A Great delivery as well - very well presented - a story that fits all together

“Strong back and a weak mind.” Well, that has me written all over it.

[@dmiroy]

Thanks a bunch of this tip. I didn't have a hook like that but my vice grips and a long pry bar did the trick. Leverage is a wonderful thing.

[@christinerebar7303]

It worked! Thank you soooooo much. From a girl ;) in Canada.

Best method I've seen on KZbin. I need to move a large shelter which is anchored by 6 re-bar stakes that are tough as whiz to move. I am going to try your method tomorrow. Confidence is high.

[@ram457moreno]

Classic Sports where u able to remove the rebar out of the carport ??? I am fixing to do the same to my carport I need to move it .

[@MyLisa1965]

I got two, 5’ in the ground that need to come out. Unfortunately I lost my apple tree anyway to a storm, so the 5’ that’s sticking out above the ground look…ridiculous, lol. A big thank you to you!

[@gladtoseeya986]

Worked like a charm for me. Thank you for saving me a trip to Home Depot to buy a stake puller. :-)

[@ddd228]

I need to pull out a 3/4 " galvanized pipe out. It was used as a ground for a lightning rod. You gave me an idea! Thanks!

[@brianhamilton1183]

Worked like a charm! Thank you for posting your video!

[@goodcyrus]

a) Use a chain if u dont have a hook b) set up the leverage so u step on it down instead of breaking ur back pulling up

[@loremipsum9983]

That was very simple. Thank you.

[@jenlo262]

I was skeptical - but it worked great!! Thanks!!

[@elliem5322]

Thank you for posting this! I knew it was a matter of leverage but I couldn’t think of how to get a good grip… I tried the 2x4 with a vice grip but it only worked on a few… (there’s only about 60 more to pull!… ~10 years ago my dad insisted they were necessary to support the 12’x1’ boards that make the long sides of my new raised beds… they’re not even touching the boards anymore.) I’ll be running over to the Big Store tomorrow to get one of those hooks… God Bless!

[@elliem5322]

I went to my local HD to look for the hook and I couldn’t find it but I did find something similar enough that I thought it was worth trying out and it worked just the same… the Everbilt 0.25” galvanized Hook and Eye Swivel, $7.97

[@elliem5322]

Now I‘ll be able to cut some old rubber pond liner to fit snugly between my raised vegetable beds as a long lasting weed block. I know, it’s not water permeable, but no weeds are making it through that. And this will be much safer for my elderly parents… no rusty rebars to catch toes or fall on, and dense rubber liner will be a softer landing than the pavers I was considering.

[@nicktackes3179]

thank you. You saved me a lot of time and frustration.

[@VeteransUSA]

Thank you, I am going to try it this week.

[@TracyLCrawford]

Damn. You need to go to Burning Man. First year, I got yelled at. Second year, I learned to kick the damned things. Like your approach.

[@MsShanarun]

Fabulous! Now we can stop tripping over them!

[@dfasdf370]

You had me at: get you someone with a strong back and a weak mind...

[@TracyLCrawford]

Me too. Except, I've learned.

[@ryanhinson7552]

You’re a smart man

[@ginarossan2641]

Thanks so much, this was very helpful, I hope it works! : )!

[@SwimFlySwim]

I'd love to see this effort made in my hard-clay ground. Guess I'll have to do it, even though I'm only a woman! ;)

[@TracyLCrawford]

Try just kicking the damned things. Works at Burning man.

[@doncates4753]

Worked great but I used a crow bar to pull up on.

[@SCHNEIDER2862]

Great idea!

[@michigoose369]

Thank you. This worked like a charm! And the gentleman is right - even a *woman* can do it. :-P

[@WildberryAB]

Thanks!

[@davidwilson7131]

Simple is better. Thanks!

[@alicegaiser7707]

Awesome!

[@davebrantner5348]

I have a slope in my back yard that has a lot of rebar sticking out of the ground. I believe it formerly held down railroad ties I tried this method but to no avail. I should mention that the ground that the rebar is in is decomposed granite,

[@tony08826]

I seem to have the same problem!!

[@jenniesweetcheeks]

What is the thing with the two eyes? I need to get one.

[@michealmedrano308]

Thanks

[@jayjiang]

What is that 8 shape type of hook call and where can I get it?

[@GaryGonzalez22]

Jay, it looks like a snap hook. Here is a link to one sold by Home Depot. However, make sure you get snap hook that is large enough and strong enough. www.homedepot.com/p/Crown-Bolt-3-4-in-x-3-7-8-in-Stainless-Steel-Fixed-Snap-Hook-64054/203001513

[@tristandeee]

OH YEAHHHHH, LOOK AT CODY'S MUSCLES!!!!!!!!!!

[@khonthainaidc]

lol thx What we need, Hook One old wise man. One young strong man. One cheerful lady.

[@liraziyad5806]

I’m sure those are cicada but it sounds like you guys are in a pit of rattlesnakes

[@fernchapel]

Thanks for this. I didn’t have a hook, so I used two padlocks locked together. Worked great. I’m a woman. 🙄

[@notavailable9919]

Genius!

[@justlive9304]

I think car jack would work too

[@lamb562]

Lmaoo this was great! Loved it

[@tristandeee]

what do you mean "even woman can do it", HAHAHAHAHAHAH

[@petercakebread1048]

Its Bob Knight?!

[@valeriehorrocks3708]

Works well it was a little rough pulling out 24 inch rebar out of our TN. clay but then again I am woman 😆

[@furfener1]

I really did want to see the woman do it.

[@jamesday5636]

damn listen to the bugs...must be Texas

[@tristandeee]

James Day yes it’s Texas, haha

[@susanotto3453]

Doesn’t work broke my ring

[@Gothiqueluv]

"So easy even a woman could do it?" Yeah... that's a thumbs down. I don't give a rats a$$ if that was a joke. How about, so easy even a hillbilly man could do it?
