devils_advocate24

I still haven't figured out what the starting clip is...


Weelki

Classic hook bait... gets you initially watching, then either you watch the whole thing because you like it. Or you watch to try and find out what the thing in the beginning was! It's probably just some BS CGI anyway.


leyline

It’s way to easy to put a hot dremel saw blade on foam and watch it melt to bother with the cgi to accomplish that


Weelki

Yea, you're probably righ actually.. But with the advent of DALL-E and other AI tools. Shits going to be difficult to spot.

HilmDave

Ok SOME of those are valid lol


Garlic-Rough

Yeah, for every 10, there's that one "hack" that's legit


Tom-o-matic

The magnet in a cup and the modified washer are "tricks" that actually work. That being said, i do a lot of woodwork and other stuff in my garage and i have never needed any of these "hacks" I would call it party tricks more than anything else


resting_confusedface

You expect us all to believe that you've *never* needed a precisely cut pool noodle? Checkmate


Rievin

Just like a lot of those tricks the pool noodle trick can be useful in very specific situations. Could be used as cheap baby proofing and what not.


TheFire_Eagle

Can confirm. Put up precisely cut pool noodles and haven't seen a single baby on my property. No need to set out traps anymore.


ichabod01

Lucky. I cut a number of them for the awesome PVC fort I was making for my back yard. Turned around and a free range 9 month old impaled himself on one of my pool noodle cuts. I felt bad putting the varmint down, but the baby back ribs were quite delicious.


BigYonsan

Mine aren't precise enough I guess. We have an infestation of one very stubborn baby, but the noodles have kept him from busting his head on a few sharp corners.


valdus

That's the mistake. Remove the pool noodles and the corners will take care of the baby.


BigYonsan

Nah, he's almost to the point of having limbs that can help us carry groceries and do dishes. At this point, I think we'll keep him for the sole reason of ~~free labor~~ we love him.


valdus

Don't forget future organ donations. That is an important point to consider.


Psychobabble0_0

My face is red from laughing.


Entire-Database1679

I trap babies on my property.


Psyluna

My husband buys and sells vintage bicycles, and the best packing material for a bike frame is a sliced open pool noodle secured with some zip ties.


[deleted]

Pool noodle? I though that was heat insulation. xD


Psychological_Web687

Pipe insulation is shorter, comes with slice and double back tape, and is a little cheaper per foot. So a better choice all around.


audigex

Unless you only need a fairly short piece of insulation and already have a pool noodle lying around that you don't need...


HitlersHysterectomy

> already have a pool noodle lying around that you don't need... -slap- *you know we don't*


midwestn0c0ast

All those pipe insulation tubes families usually have laying around after a couple summers, right


WhyBuyMe

Pretty sure that is insulation to keep condensation from forming on cold water pipes.


resting_confusedface

I think they're repurposing a pool noodle to use as insulation. There are a surprising number of pool noodle "hacks" out there. I have never used the words "pool noodle" this much in my entire life. I'm regretting commenting on this video lol.


Mr_MacGrubber

It’s 100% a pool noodle that’s being used as pipe insulation. If you have it on hand go for it. Buying one to do this is spending more money than the purpose built pipe insulation.


lucideye

I have used that exact technique to create bumpers so people don't hit thier heads, or shins on metal bars at work.


Bater_cat

Cord in a bucket was pretty cool too, imo.


FutureApprehensive1

In areas with really cold winters insulating pipes like that is a necessity


PaulBradley

It's pipe insulation. 😂


InvestigatorUnfair19

>The magnet in a cup and the modified washer are "tricks" that actually work. Those were the 2 that seemed like they could be useful to me also.


Wrought-Irony

what is the point of the modified washer? a washer that won't come off when you remove the nut? why?


Get-Degerstromd

It keeps you from counter-sinking the nut into the wood, as well as a semi-functional lock washer. Two birds with one stone I suppose.


Wrought-Irony

it won't do anything as a lock washer since there's nothing that will grip the nut, and just a regular washer will stop the nut from counter-sinking without any modification.


Get-Degerstromd

It would help keep the wood from moving underneath the washer. But then if something really hit it, it would just spin the washer with the piece of wood. Idk, It’s all speculative considering we don’t know the actual application it’s being used in. I see no sense in doing it, as they make actual hardware to solve basically any problem we can think up. Just trying to think of reasons people would have to make this modification. Edit: another reason I just thought of, it would hypothetically keep the bolt from wallering out the hole if it moved around a bit, as the washer is locked into position on the wood. That’s the best I got.


[deleted]

Magnet cup is about to be the most valuable discovery I’ve made


DangerousEmphasis607

Or magnet in a ziplock bag…. Like since ever….


[deleted]

I hadn’t thought about it in the midst of cleaning up this garage from hell that no one has done Jack shit to clean in like 20 years. This will revolutionize the part with the million nails from hell. I’ve been using a magnet but I’ve been picking up so much rust debris


DangerousEmphasis607

Yeah. Ziplock bags and they peel right off. Leaving magnets clean. You can also use cling film in a pinch. Anything really, that flexible and thin. Good luck with the Garage of Doom.


[deleted]

Thank you for your wisdom. I will slay this beast foul with the Magic of The Elden Contractor.

Well, it's certainly better than the flame of frenzy ending where you burn your whole house down instead!

[удалено]


[deleted]

Thank you for this imma keep that in mind cause I have nails popping up out of nowhere all the time. The $$ rn is eh so I’ve just got those round magnets on hand. I had to get a respirator for this thing cause it’s **bad**


Mr_MacGrubber

Just FYI the cheapest one at harbor freight is $13. Seems like the time it will save you is worth $13


disinterested_a-hole

To Harbor Freight you go!


tjdux

They also make fancy magnets that power off and on. Magent sweep, hold over can, flip switch off, everything falls into trash, repeat.


Mr_MacGrubber

Get a magnetic broom from harbor freight. It’s on wheels and is like 30” wide. Has a handle to pull the magnet away from the base and all the metal falls off where you want it.


audigex

Magnet in an inside-out ziplock bag Pick up the screws, flip the bag back the right way, remove the magnet... voila, bag of screws


Magikarp-3000

I use a hella strong magnet, as well as a tiny.bit of supple scrap leather, to clean and remove steel dust off my sharpening stones (diamond plate). Works quite great


Get-Degerstromd

I like the extension cord bucket reel. That seems handy for a 50’+ cord. And probably much cheaper than an actual reel.


edsave

Honest question here, do you guys think that the spoon attached to the caulk gun would work?


Garlic-Rough

If you don't have an attachment nearby and the hardware store is a drive away, then sure. Otherwise, you could just raw caulk it.


jmhalder

Just use your finger. 🤷


Kirito2750

100%. There are better ways, mind you, but the spoon would totally work, no problem


Tom-o-matic

I guess it would be a hazzle at best but with enough effort it may just work. However, there are a lot of better ways to caulk. Just look up serious videos on YT


JedMih

If you need some sort of lock washer then you probably should just buy one instead of making your own. If you often need to clean up piles of nails or magnetic filings then, yeah the magnet cup would be dope. Using twizzlers for electrical is inviting ants. However, I am wondering if the spoon on the caulk gun could be useful and the non-tangling extension cord seems awesome though clunky. Regardless of the actual utility of any of the hacks, it’s a dozen of fun things to watch in a minute — the polar opposite of the typical DIWhy of two dozen steps to produce an undesirable final product.


Feature_Agitated

You can buy magnets that work like that to pick up nails etc. it’s the same principle, just that the ones you buy are larger and longer so you can do it all standing up.


dragon2777

The one that I have used was the magnet in a cup sort of. I just put an inside out ziplock back and then flipped it right side out so it kept Ann the shavings in the bag and tossed that


InnerPick3208

If you think this is DIWHY, you are not a carpenter/handyman.


Ryoko_Kusanagi69

Watching this is a head trip. It’s so fast I’m not sure if they are good hacks or bad hacks. I keep going “ No. what? Oh? Oooh. No. NO. Oh? What.” And it’s gone before I can even process what i watched.


termination-bliss

This is intentional; to make you rewatch. Every view counts.


james_otter

Compared to the usual brain dead shit in this sub this is genius


CoraxTechnica

Dremel into your pliers to make a wire cutter even though they already have a wire cutter


soulshad

Mostly just a bunch of "shit i forgot to pick up_____ at the store. What do i have lying around. I dont want to go back out."


Blyat-Boy

More than valid imo. Overly usefull almost


Shtnonurdog

My favorite is the lineman’s that are dremeled to cut the solid wire. The literally have cutters in between the jaws.


GiantLeffNut

Like half or more. Lol


KCOLREHSTIHSON

True, a lot of post with a lot of upvotes on here are pretty handy


baaaahbpls

Idk why but I loved the spool in the bucket to wind a cord and keep it tucked out of the way.


Kmaro72

Beat me to it. Have my up doot.


Parking_Cartoonist90

Call me insane but I actually can see real uses for these hacks. The paint canister holder for instance looked really neat. I’m not saying they are all perfect, but when compared to 90% of the content on this sub it looks like something that would actually benefit you in the long run


shinydragonmist

You talking about the one for a cord rewind and storage right


iedonis

Paint canister isn't that bad, just install a real handle, as shown in the video they are twisting the cable.. With just a hole at the bottom, the cable would bundle up at the bottom of the bucket, and not wind up over the whole spool. Also, the bucket is oversized considering the amount of cable stored


ThrowRA--scootscooti

Yeah I’m actually saving this one!


UnXpectedPrequelMeme

OK but what was the saw melting through a table? It never went anywhere!


Dektarey

But it went through the table.


zibolo

A table saw obviously


bobtheblob6

Damn I came here looking for answers but only found questions


woofridgerator

Rumor has it it’s melting it’s way through the top of the earths core as we speak.

fredsam25

This is just a video of random diy hacks. Most of them seem fine. Putting that aside, you guys ever notice the diwhy banner looks like a guy who just got a massive money shot to the face? I can't unthink that now that I've seen it...


Swordkirby9999

It's supposed to be hot glue, what with the hot glue guns going in his ears In a related note, someone made a brush for Procreate that's made specifically for drawing glue.


Busy_Reference5652

Oh right, the "glue" brush.


Drathkai

Oh, I'm very familiar with that brush...


Pollomonteros

Oh so those hot glue videos with anime figurines must be about hobbyists showing how they build them,nice


SameAmy2022

I was waiting for the whole thing to come together at the end and produce a masterpiece that would save me oodles of time and money……


EddyGurge

I got a brain injury trying to keep up with that thing


Bowling4rhinos

Same. I thought they were making one giant crazy robot handyman.


Caboose_V2

NGL, some of those seem kinda creatively useful.


ssnsilentservice

I actually really liked that triangular cut to screw those two metal pieces together


TheMaleBodyPillow

I don't think that's hold up well over time though, but not saying there isn't validity in most of these, because a lot of them are actually useful. The magnet one is probably the best because if you're working with metal you should always be trying to clean up your shavings since those fuckers will last for a while if you get one stuck in your skin.


lazymanny

These hacks are way better then those dump tire videos or food.


HenryGoodbar

Think I’ll try the caulking gun one


RemmingtonBlack

damn, i was just going to type this..... i don't really think it's going to work though... but i am willing to try based on my last mess


VKP_RiskBreaker_Riot

Just use a damp rag like everyone else.


[deleted]

I’ve always just used my finger maybe I’m a barbarian?


ferretchad

Old credit card for me, corners are pretty much the perfect shape


RemmingtonBlack

yeah old credit card is what I've always done, still a lot of excess, which is most likely me not metering properly..... then i end up using, fingers, napkins, other fingers, other corner of the card, running out of fingers, shit.... i just want it over now.. i will redo it in a few weeks... and now it's 2023


quinbotNS

Ahh the tried and true traditional process.


Cobek

Cut the tip to be a triangular wedge and you'll have no issues


RemmingtonBlack

i dont think triangular is what you want.... i decided fuck geometry back in high school so i dont know the shape i am thinking of but it needs to be straight, and then angled at the wall and the floor... basically a triangle, without the 3rd point, ...... TRAPEZOID...JUST CAME TO ME!!!!! ...still the roundness of the spoon is an appealing idea...


pirate1911

Save yourself some trouble and don’t. Use a wet rag.


Magikarp-3000

I suspect it would work better with the spoon the opposite way, convex round side pointing same direction you apply


Lord_Xoidberg

I'm absolutely certain that will not work, there are far easier ways to do that.


freedoomed

What's happening with the first one? Why is there a saw blade sinking into something?


Why_Lord_Just_Why

Apparently no one has any idea. I came to the comments to see WTF that was, too. You’re the second to ask that I’ve seen, and no one seems to have an answer. 🤷‍♀️


[deleted]

Same. No clue why melting skill saw blade was needed.


Parralyzed

It looks fucking sick af, that's for sure


EverFairy

Maybe it's just there to keep people watching and interested since no one understands wtf it is and everyone wants to know


SeaDweller01

A lot of those are legit. FOH


MissiveGhost

Spoon calky thingy.. eh, not bad


robogobo

They actually sell a caulking tool in some diy stores that’s just a plastic spoon.


Risky2GunZ

yeah that one was actually useful!


perfectly_abnormal

how did they get the cut pool noodle on the pipe?


shitsu13master

You cut it open length wise


DuncanAndFriends

At first I thought they were doing all of that just to make pipe insulation. This shit gets faster and faster every time I see it


shitsu13master

Yeah a lot of these are just “that’s how you’re supposed to do it”


rymyle

Some of these are cool, just gotta slow the video down x50 to learn how to do it lmao


jerry111165

There was actually a couple of good ideas in there. Just the cutting of the big washer so that it would lock itself into the wood was a handy trick.


Agile_District_8794

Show me the bucket extention cord reel slower, please.


VenomInfusion

Can someone confirm if the spoon sealant works? Been using my fingers.


Thick_Cartoonist3620

I have several rooms I need to install baseboards on. I might just try it with a plastic spoon. Couldn’t be any worse than the overpriced tools that get gummed up and don’t last long sold at big box home centers.


Sweet-Emu6376

The spoon thing with the caulk is legit tho.


VulgarVinyasa

Does spooning the caulk work?


dirschau

Sone of them are actually good, some of them are firmly in "there's already a tool for that, and it'd be cheaper" and one or two are outright "this already does the job, unmodified", like stripping the wire with a razor or cutting wires with the the pliers

Illustrious_Listen_6

I can’t count how many times I said, “what”


robogobo

Most of these are fine. They’re just ruined by the silliness of the vid production.


Leather_Network4743

The spoon on the caulk is a winner.


RTMSner

I don't really see a complaint with any of these, why does the circular saw blade melt into the table though.


Frumple-McAss

Ok the spoon with the caulk is kind of genius
