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

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

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

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.

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.

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!!!

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 comments about your sound needing to be raised is

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!!

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!

[jean-baptistamosescumudia]

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!

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!

[BrandonStankevitz]

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

[janetbecker]

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.

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

[DbeeSapphire]

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.

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