Love the way he got to the point without telling about his life.

I was ready to cut the tops off my drums...I've been an engineer for over 30 years and the string trick is pure genius, never too old to learn cool tips! Thanks

One of the best, concise how-to videos I've seen. Cuts to the chase, no chit- chat, the tools are accessible and common ... Simple professional explanation. And I'll be putting my rain barrels together tomorrow. Thank you, much.

I was going to cut the lid off but I knew somebody on KZfaq had a better solution thank you

Holy crap! That's amazing how simple it is. I've been way over thinking it 🤦‍♂️

Good god this was way easier than other people were showing. Thanks for the video!

Great instructional video. I was stumped on how to do it until now. Very clear and so simple. Many Thanks!!!

Googled this & found your video. Wasn't till the end I realized you guys were who I bought my barrels from in the first place (SJ). Now at least I can put the spigots I bought on.

Thanks for the video. The bulkhead fitting and the string trick were good tips to fix my direct threaded spigot that was leaking. I tied a nut to the bottom part of the string and used a magnet to grab the nut. Worked perfect the first time!!

Thanks I just did two of them. I use the one and a half inch paddle bit seeing how much cheaper it was then a holesaw bit. The first one I did came out pretty good but the second one started wandering around a little bit and I stopped before I ruined it and went and got a harbor freight 1 1/4 inch step drill bit. By the time I was done with that it actually came out better than the first one. So yeah a holesaw would probably be everyone’s best bet for this project.

Freaking awesome! Brilliant. Thanks for posting. The simplest solutions aren't always the most obvious ones!

I watched your video, got the address on the site. I sent for it and it came very quickly. I got my plastic barrel and in just a few minutes after doing it the way of your video, I was ready to go....Very simple and quick. ....Thank you very much.....(The comments about your sound needing to be raised is true.....)

What a brilliant, simple concept. Thank you!

One of the OGs of DIY hack videos.

wow, thanks. just made my day. BTW, when your drill makes that noise it's the drill's clutch disengaging the motor. Set the clutch to the drill bit setting when drilling holes. thanks again.

I’ve been dreading this for days. Now that I’ve seen this I’m going back out to the shop when I get home and knocking it out!

Thank you so much!!! I can now water my entire garden without spending any money. Your video was great!!! Thanks again.

That's great way, I was confused before how to get fermentation tank for cheap price, but now through your video I can make it. Thanks so much broh!

Great this was easy institution than most folks would show. Good idea for drought conditions living in the central valley of California.

Thank you so much for making this video I hope you continue to make other great informative videos. Well done !

Thank you for this video! I just bought a 500 gallon tank from my neighbor who is moving. The tank has the spigot way at the base, I was trying to figure out how to get a spigot installed at about the height of a Home Depot bucket.

I like this video, simple ,not overly complicated and it works

Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to make life easier for us. I was about to cut the top off!!😂

Thanks for the vlog. I was checking to see what I needed to buy, 🤔 after watching I'm ordering a couple of the spigot kits and I'm going to give it a try myself.

Charge battery, and set chuck to Drill, not screw

Your video removed a lot of the mystery , thanks .

Cheers, who the hell disliked this video, handy information exactly what I was looking for

Very well made and to the point. Thank you very much Sir.

Wow legend has it, he is still drilling.

Thank you! I’ve been stumped thinking about this.

Thank you very much....all my barrels are closed top and I could not figure out how to get the attachment on the inside...great job

Great video. Simple and direct. Thanks I will do this myself.

I think I'm going to try it for a shower. 🚿

Thanks SO MUCH for your video. Going to Lowes today to get the bulkhead fitting and the spigot. Already have the barrell. :-)

😂 I’m so glad I watched this. You saved me a lot of time.

Great instructions! Now I can set up my rain barrel! I hope my barrel is not as thick as yours😂😁

Nice ly done thankyou for shariing so simpel but i never thought of it

Thank you man...perfect...like a godsend...worked like a charm..only problem I had was that the barrel plug hole was smaller than the fitting

I would use the hole saw to score some of the way through and then finish with a sharpnknife to keep plastic swarf from getting inside

I thought this was a prank for a min, great idea!

Just used this method yesterday. Worked great! Thanks!

Hey I randomly found you again haha. I loved meeting and talking with you about your business. I hope things are well.

Gotta love the complaints! I mean after all the guy had no choice but to take the time to record this an upload it for you to nitpick.

EXCELLENT JOB MAN! THANKS A BIG BUNCH!!! SO EASY. :) and VERY useful.

Mahalo’s, heading to get my parts from Home Depot!

Thank you learn something today im happy now🙏🙏🙏

Thanks so much for making this video, I followed your instructions exactly. :)

Brilliant! Now I have to find a bulkhead fitting.

This worked perfectly... thank you so much.

Simply done, thank you!

Great video, you made this so easy. Thanks man!

Awesome thank you. The same trick could work on a plastic jug.

Thanks - I was wondering how they did that - now I can do it myself

A W E S O M E ! ! ! Thanks for the video. Saved me $20.

Great tip. I was wondering how to do it 👍

Nice trick. Thanks!

Thankyou very ingenious .You must probe with neodimium magnet . I'll need many steps for one Drums , it need 4 holes !. Thanks an Health for.yours !

Ive watched several ways to get that bung in the bottom of the barrel. Like your idea best. Thanx. FYI....can hardly hear you.

amazing idea!! Thanks for posting!!!

Works like a charm, thank you!

What a clever idea. Thank you

Nice camera work

Very helpful, thank you!

Great video thanks for the tips!

That was really helpful. Thank you

my problem is that the bulkhead fitting does not fit thru the hole that is already in the top of the barrel

Thank You!

Nice work

Brilliant! Will use this for a chicken waterer!

Bloody Legend mate 👍👍

Simple & brilliant!

Nice video! Idk what everyone is talking about I can hear you just fine. But uhhh are the people slamming on their brakes at 3:30 all good? They must have been going at LEAST 96K/PH

cool. thanks for the uploading this vid!

Supper video . thanks a lot man.

Great Video, I was wondering how to make this happen.

The question is who needed that much organic tapioca syrup? Haha, nicely done.

So clever! Thanks so much!

Very clever!

Good job budd 😊

I wish would watch your video ' I try and fail junk my barrels because couldn't reach down with a tool

Great job! Thank you.

Thanks for the video! Did you say drill a 1 1/2" hole for a 3/4" bulkhead fitting? Thanks for the help

awesome best one yet

Thank you very much.

Genius. Thanks!

Wow thanks for this video that is awesome!!!

Excellent. Thanks.

Brilliant.

Nice job. And kind of genius.

Yes!!! So simple

Thank you

beast mode

Thanks ! That is helpfu!

Excellent 👌

Clever- is there ANYTHING that youtube doesn't explain??

Nice video! Thanks! BTW set your clutch all the way to 'drill' mode so it stops slipping :)

My bulkhead fitting came with 1 rubber fitting and 1 white hard plastic fitting. I out the rubber one on the inside, and the white one on the outside, but getting some water leakage. I am leery of tightening it too much? Ideas please!

Why not lay it on its and use the two holes it’s already has in the top?

Very good video. What is the outside diameter bulk firing? I went to the hardware and the have a few but are to big to go through the drum hole

Thank you! Just got my barrels now and going to make a couple! Btw what is the black thing called? Thanks!
