How to Unstick two 5-gallon Buckets without compressed air or prying with screwdrivers

[@codywoodring]

NEW VIDEO: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqmcaoque9-Cpdk Re-filmed it in case it wasn't clear enough! Good luck.

[@in2meuc168]

THANKS CODY!!!! I heated up water in a quart sauce pan, poured it on the rim of the bottom bucket and they came unstuck in about 5 seconds. And I absolutely and truly appreciate you conveying the information in 94 seconds.

[@susanmarie7084]

Worked like a charm in under one minute. Bought two 15 qrt Rubbermaid buckets from Amazon. Came stuck together. Put the stuck buckets on its side in the tub and ran hot water from the spray hose over the entire rim of the bottom bucket turning to cover all sides with the hot water. Came apart quickly. Thanks for the video!

[@dianrania]

Despite the poor video recording…this method was perfect!!! It really really works!!! 😊 thank you.

[@bluebutterflywellness2273]

Thank you so much for confirming! this is exactly what I was thinking but I was doubtful because I thought that maybe the plastic would melt. I know that metal expands with heat, so I'm going to try it and expect the best.UPDATE: IT WORKED!! 🎉

[@mitchellwilliams9697]

Ive wasted many buckets over the years. Thanks for the lesson. It works

[@valerielmurphy2567]

Wow! This worked! After fussing with a couple buckets here and there for a year, I did this and voila! They’re usable again. Thank you so much.

[@mautrin50]

This method really works, I had two large plant pots that stuck together and today i got them free with his method. Considering we could not see what he did, we heard him and it was very well explain.

[@moringa3820]

What he did exactly I didn't hear well

[@farhatwani8375]

I dont understand which method he used plz explain

[@MiVidaLoca1024]

Worked great! The buckets were already cold and I put them in the laundry sink and ran hot water on the lower bucket. They easily pulled apart. Thanks!

[@brucedouglas6700]

I just used your trip on buckets. I tried to get a part for months it worked absolutely easy and fabulous. Thank you.

[@lynndollar1013]

Worked like a charm. The buckets were cold, its a 40* morning here, but they came apart with ease. Thanks.

[@nssoutdoors1869]

Nothing else worked, but then I found this video. Absolute legend right here.

[@andrewdelapp]

Did with warm tap water and worked within 15 seconds. Amazing!

[@kelisurfs247]

OMG! thank you, thank you Cody! I have had two buckets stuck together for 4yrs. Your suggestion was perfect, worked like a charm! 👏👏👏😃

[@cosmicsunbeams]

I'll put that on my bucket list ❤

[@BrianMitton-h1t]

Just tried this method. Worked perfect. Thank you

[@Tee-ln8yk]

Wow! It worked!.. I simply pour hot water on the body of the outer bucket and pulled the inner bucket. It came out within 5 seconds. Thanks for the hack

[@ILoveChanelLynn]

Thank You Cody! I'll give it a go. Appreciate your video

[@shaneabney7098]

This video helped me out some much, I can't thank you enough. Keep up the awesome and real content man.

[@grac1986]

OMG…thank you! Struggled with this for years!

[@BC_Backroading]

I can't believe how well this worked, I got my buckets unstuck before the end of the video 😂

[@sj6919]

yep, this works. 2 cups hot water did it. Why bother with air compresser or screwdriver? So easy.

[@rawfusiontnt]

I am confirming that this method worked for me. Thank you for sharing this information

[@AmberBlase]

Hey I just had to write to say thank you. This is the only thing that worked for me. But it didn’t happen right away. I gave up and left it in the hot water - came back five minutes later and then it gave way!

[@j.r.bockoven2475]

Works perfect, first time after 30 seconds. Been struggling with this for years. Thank you!

[@uyeanonim]

Screw driver didn’t work but this one worked. Thanks

[@jameshunt1444]

This worked for me in under ten seconds! Buckets definitely have to be cold.

[@x0c0pa]

Regardless of the video quality, this works great. Thank you

[@YourTapeworm]

Didn't even have to put it in a cooler. It worked perfectly the first time.

[@avidanelkin4581]

Worked great on my first try. Thank you!

[@rodolfosanchez7354]

Thank you very much, it was very HELPFUL.

[@mitchellwilliams9697]

When your eyes cant see use your ears. He tells you what to do

[@TomLap-qd6xc]

Nice camera work lol

[@APerez89]

I was gonna call you bad names because of this lol but someone int he comment section saved your ass lol

[@ricewing]

Worked like a charm. Thanks for the help

[@JlmJay]

Worked perfectly. Thanks

[@jackramirez6461]

Worked like a charm. My buckets have been stuck for over a year.

[@harmonybendhomestead1738]

Worked great 👍 Thanks...

[@bindhuskitchen8262]

Thanks man for your wonderful and tricky lesson.

[@jamess.1140]

It worked!lol Your a genius!✌🙏

[@hxs1980]

Yeah, this is the best way anyone can do. Thanks for this.

[@Konschinator]

Worked great! Thanks for the help.

[@dianeharris5600]

It worked! Thank you so much❤

[@pj2kel]

Thanks a bunch😄. Worked for me.

[@padkirsch]

Thank you! I'm gonna try this! I tried EVERYTHING else!! these are the impossibly stuck buckets

[@codywoodring]

I hope it worked!

[@waferlane2548]

RIP the cameraman

[@egs30]

Thank you this is very helpful 😊

[@shelleyboggs2527]

Here’s goes! Cuz I need my buckets unstuck.

[@shelleyboggs2527]

Worked with kitchen sink hot water in half a sec. THANKS!!!

[@qh4007]

Worked for me thank you.

[@bornwellsibanda3225]

your method works for me,thanks you very much

[@balance93612]

where did you apply the water ????? cannot tell what you are doing and you do not explain

[@codywoodring]

Thanks for the like and comment! As stated in the video "bathe the lower bucket in it." Literally just pour hot water all over the lower/outer bucket. Since plastic expands slightly when heated the outer bucket expands a little. And since the opposite is true - plastic contracting when cooled - the inner/upper bucket is smaller than normal. These two effects combine to make the bucket easier to remove. I hope this helps!

[@jamesrabadon7125]

​@@codywoodring❤

[@daveearp49]

Worked awesome thanks!

[@b.lane0309]

The method works, just tried with two of mine that I couldn't get unstuck. I've used the trick on metal but didn't think plastic would do the same thing. The vacuum seal was broken and they came apart after about 10 seconds. Maybe redoing the video showing what you did. Either way, thanks.

[@TheCriscantu]

Worked great! 👍🏼

[@nadakidd]

Holy 💩that was easy. Thanks Bro!

[@rafsewamg]

Thanks man .. what a pain .. until we found you 😉👍

[@nouse4name445]

imma try this on buckets that have been stuck together for 10 years, ill put them out side in the snow for a bit first ill come back with update

[@codywoodring]

Good luck!

[@nouse4name445]

@@codywoodring wasnt so sure i was doing it right at first but after i put some pressure down and some wedges in i was able to pull them apart. my grandmother is very pleased. she didnt think she'd see them apart again

[@danbrownellfuzzy3010]

Thanks Captain Bucket

[@tenaleboeuf7622]

I don't; even care about the video. All you have to do is listen to what you're saying. IT WORKS!!!! Stuck the buckets in my kitchen sink, ran water on the rim of the bottom one and they literally came apart in 1 minute. Thank you so much for the useful tip!!!

[@Sucre64]

It worked thank you.😊

[@TheMim4all]

Mainly showing the road and your shirt sleeves

[@suziq1533]

A good tip but we couldn't see the demonstration. Maybe you could post a redo?

[@codywoodring]

Working on it! I finally got a tripod but I still need a mount for my phone

[@marysolsgarden]

Works! Thank you

[@lpng1633]

It works. Thanks . Life saving.

[@TheMDav]

Good knowledge to share! Wish I could have seen you poor the hot water and maybe have a few different examples of successes and fails with other methods.

[@joesilvasr9733]

AWESOME, thanks

[@paulaking6039]

Thank you for your information

[@maxmiller3300]

Thank for information 🤙🤙

[@theresas.5806]

Yup it works thx u!!!

[@ani1861]

Thank u it really works 👏

[@alexandrahowell3142]

Can't see a gosh-darn thing...where does the hot water go? inside the inner one or outside the outer one?

[@codywoodring]

My friend - there are descriptions, subtitles, vocals, and a whole new video pinned in the comments. Please feel free to check the new video out, and good luck!

[@jlf21022]

Worked for me!

[@shelleyhernandez6510]

Oh my god, thank you!!!!!

[@roseymalino9855]

I think I saw a shadow where someone used compress air to separate the buckets off camera.

[@codywoodring]

Lol no but check out my new video (pinned in the comments) if it makes you feel any better about the method. I had a friend film that one so you guys can see it easier.

[@Kezn]

Thank you kind sir 👌

[@natvega1]

Has anyone ever tried a heat gun, if pvc is workable with a heat gun this bucket plastic might be also.

[@codywoodring]

Hey if you've got one more power to ya! I feel like using a heat gun might take a little more precision and care than dumping hot water, maybe a larger one (or a hairdryer) would more evenly heat the bucket? If you try it let us know how it goes!

[@maatherufairweather3560]

Thanks a lot

[@djericanthony]

Heat gun would also work too

[@rynait]

HINT cold air shrinks, makes vacuum. what you did... warm air expands.

[@warrenseptoo8795]

Easy as that. Hot water.......use it to repair plastic bumpers on cars....why not buckets.....makes the inner bucket less clingy...lol

[@ufiakhan1705]

Effective one

[@minakshihans]

thank u 👍😊

[@jeffdolgin8929]

Omg...the air pressure worked!!! Thanks....

[@manishas5428]

💯% effective... thanks for the great trick.... you saved my bucket 🪣😀👍

[@Seesooki0pi]

Couldn’t see anything while it was in your pocket, so don’t know how you did it

[@codywoodring]

Working on a new video! There's still audio and a complete how-to in the description, apologies if that isn't enough for you to understand.

[@kitysonker7517]

Balti ke andr grm pani dalna h ya thnda

[@philiphinton1350]

Superb idea, Cody, but now you've redone the video, perhaps you could delete this one?

[@thefacelessone74]

The better way is just flip them over put your foot through the handle so that your stepping on it and then pull the other bucket up.. Takes 2seconds and no tools

[@codywoodring]

Thanks for your input! That's a decent first method to try, and this video was made for when that doesn't work XD

[@harrisonhanson2998]

Least he said “may or may NOT work”.

[@mjmclaugh4572]

Doesn't really help if we can't see. Try propping the camera on a rock or a wall.

[@codywoodring]

Hindsight 20/20 right? I tried to put a detailed method in the description

[@Spartan1293-w3u]

Just like a jar and a lid

[@user-wc8lf5km8k]

Nice picture of your shirt. Buy a tripod.

[@codywoodring]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm considering refilming this. If you'd like to donate so I can afford a tripod I'll happily provide my venmo 😄

[@djericanthony]

Set your phone to record yourself next time

[@c-min8533]

its not helping,, where you pour that hot water,, you record video at black hole

[@codywoodring]

You just pour it all over the outer bucket, it's not that complicated

[@castrodon8742]

It worked!!!!!

[@farajulislam6301]

How to out sir i can't see?

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

Are you a physicist?

[@codywoodring]

Just a wizard, unfortunately

[@kenishaclarke2277]

No I did not see that!

[@fxsheena73]

Not able to see

[@ZE308AC]

Put them in the sun
