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.

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.
