Great tips. I use a 10' section of 3" thin wall PVC and slide it over my leaf blower....put a 90 degree elbow on the end and it blows the debris out of my gutters in no time!

Excellent tips, thank you for the help. I'm especially grateful for the vacuum extension tip.

The PVC vacuum extension is GENIOUS!! We love chasing around flies in the office, and they get up in the light buckets and there's no getting them except with a vacuum. THANK YOU!!

Thanks for the pvc ideas. I made the "hidden key" drain contraption and now I can't remember where the heck I buried it. I'm also trying to remember if I took my meds this morning. Of all the things I have lost in my life, the thing I miss the most is my mind.

+Eugene Lanzl Take Pregnenolone upto 300 mg but not more daily in the morning. Its a hormone both men and women produce but diminishes with age. Memory comes right back. Start with 50 mg, then raise by 50 mg till you start to feel irritable and jumpy, then back down by 50 mg and that is your right level. Over the counter, but check with your doctor for meds conflicts. Also take DHEA 65 mg daily for men, 50 mg for women. You can check your hormone levels and then use Bio Identical Hormones which are made from wild Yams, and very safe. Do not use chemical hormones like Premarin, Testosterin, etc. All these come in a Bio Identical form and have no health side effects. Compounding pharmacy in your area can help you find a doctor and fill prescriptions. Hormones will put your health back in order, including memory loss, sex drive, younger skin, healthy organs, etc.

+Robert Bosley A common approach to 4-square spanners is to put a support under the opposite end to the nut. It stops the spanner waving around, and thereby at least doubles the power delivered, as well as stopping it slipping off. The biggest problem is that the nuts are all different heights from the ground, depending on the angle they come to rest at.

Yeah, using pvc for leverage is kinda stupid and dangerous. What you should do is step on the wrench and go up and down like you are doing squats. Another way is just keep a breaker bar in the trunk.

When planting, bury a vertical pvc next to plant that will assist in watering roots for years. Also, bury pvc horizontally along a hedge line or row of plants with partial depth slots that will allow water leakage where desired. At one end extend pvc up to point near where you want to insert a hose or connect the whole system to a timer.

I uses some one time for my sprinklers in the yard. Worked great!

Oh I like the vacuum extension

Thanks man no one of us has brains to think about those life hacks

I made 8- 4' rectangle sections of PVC Pipes and covered them with Chicken wire, as an outside Octagon play area for my small dogs to stay in while visiting my friends. Each rectangle was wide enough to also go across the steps of my friends porch, so they could stay on the porch on rainy days. My tallest dog was 13" tall and the rectangle came up to just above my knees, this way I could step over it as well...I used zip ties to tie the pieces together in a zigzag fashion and used an old hook tied to a Paracord to close it once it was set up. I kept it in my pick up truck for any visit any place I needed a temporary play area. I had three little dogs weighing up to 18 pounds. It worked fantastic. It was like a doggy baby gate. Here is what I used for each section: 4 -90° corners 2 -T fittings. The piece was like 2square sections in one frame. It was done so to stable the middle of the 4' section. So it wouldn't collapse.

Amazing what you can do with PVC other than using it for plumbing.

This is a great video! Unlike a lot of the other KZread videos that "promise" life hacks that will work this one actually delivers real help. The cord wrap is also terrific for Christmas lights so you can stay organized for years to come! Thank you for making our lives easier and more safe.

Man, you really like PVC..

I don't know how strong that PVC would be as a breaker bar, id rather have a metal pipe. I can see on overtorqued lug nut and using the PVC and having it break from the tension. You can also angle the standard wrench so you can step on it to loosen em.. That's what I've had to do in the past.

I have heard of people making furniture with pvc. I would like to see a video on that. Oh, and musical instruments too!

A piece of black iron pipe would be much stronger. Just paint it to avoid rust.

Great advertisement for PVC. Great ideas with these handy hints and tips

I am a small engine mechanic and must remove mower blades constantly. Many blades on commercial zero turns are stuck on with dirt & corrosion. Take an 18" x 3" piece of PVC pipe and stick a 2"x3" piece of wood inside. Heat with a heat gun until pliable. Now place in a vise and flatten the top and bottom of the pipe. You only want to square the pipe enough that it will stay on the mower blade. Now you can slide the pipe over the mower blade,rotate blade to contact the side of the mower deck and slide outward until it wedges the blade against the deck. Now you can unbolt the blade with your new blade stop.

Great hack! And just in time because thats exactly what I'm doing this weekend!

FYI, on removing the lug bolts on any veh tire there is a reason the lug tool is so short. You place it on the lug bolt at an angle to where you can stand on it and make one little bounce breaks the bite on the bolt. Uses your body weight to break the tight bolt, works every time. PVC not the best idea on the tire changing. But I will say there are many great uses for PVC.

Oh, there’s a lot of BS on KZread!

I just saw your Live hacks on KZread & I just wanted to share my PVC hack w/ you. About 10 years ago I became disabled and I cannot walk due to the pain in my back. Now this requires me to find other ways to do things that I had never considered before. I had broke down on the side of the rode due to an electrical short in my truck. Now because of this I wasn;t able to use my hazzard lights and I was worried that I'd get hit by a passing vehicle because of how dark it was and where i had broke down, not to mention that it was almost 11:30 at night. So I looked in my truck and I fouind my loyal roll of Duck Tape and three thee foot long PVC pipes which I carry along with a few other things that most people would think that I was crazy until things such as this happen. Anyhow I found a road flare and I had managed to place it on the side of the road w/out hurting myself, but I knew that my road side assistance were still over an hour away and the road flare only lasted for twenty min. So I found a few of the blinking red strobes that attaches to the bottom of the bike seat, so I attached them to the top of the PVC pipes and then I used a set of wooden chop sticks and I taped them to the other end so that I could stake them into the ground. So having two of these kept me from being hit by a very large truck which was being driven by a very tired driver. I know this becase when he saw me in my wheel chair placing the second strobe he pulled over to see if he could help. The man driving the truck (George) stayed with me until my tow truck arrived, which was almost 90 min later. During our conversation he said that using PVC, chop sticks & bike strobes was brilliant and that he would have never had thought of that. Anyhow I figured that four items kept me from being hospitalized and in total I had gotten the PVC for free from a friend. The chop sticks were from a meals that I have eaten, but I use my own chop sticks at home because of something that happened and the strobes were $15.00 for both sets and $7.50 for the duct tape. So for less than $25.00 and a little imagination I saved myself from a posible huge car accident.

Number 9 was the one for me, I cannot believe that I had never thought of this before...considering I'm a self-proclaimed Genius and all.

Good pvc

Paint some bright reflective Orage and make them into a tripod for a road warning sign like for when ya need to change a tire on thw road!

Your vacuum, extension works fine, use 1" thin wall pvc same way as an extension with heat gun reduce one end to shrink one end and also to enlarge the other end for a factory extension, same works for 2" pvc enlarge one end shrink the other, just like the factory pieces, regards

Awesome uses of pvc shown. Very useful.

I'm using a 1.5" piece of PVC pipe to hold the cords from my wall mounted t.v. The cords go down an inside wall corner, and when the pipe is painted or wallpapered the same as the surrounding wall, you can hardly notice it. I used 1.5" to make it easy to snake the plug, HDMI and sound cables in.

Genius with that pvc vacuum!!

There are "forever" ways to use pvc. One I figured out about 10 years about works. When you get your Christmas light strings for outdoors, it can cause many words we don't normally use (especially at Christmas). Tangled lights, just try find cords, and then there are the hangers from last time. Think about this one. Most light strings have plugs on one end and recep. on the other. To make long (fairly) runs, buy 10' lengths 3/4" and a bag of (blk) cable ties. Figure out how long the run will be and tie each light run (hmm 10') to each pipe. Many pipes have couplers on one end, if not the store has them to "plug" the pipes together as you plug the light groups together. Over size cup hooks or "L" screws will work great as hangers for each section of the pipe/light combo. Mine is about a 65 run so I just cut off 5' of one end. Make sure the "plug" end is close to power source or good place for extension cord. Here is the even better use. When all the fun is over and guess who has to take down and stow the lights, just unplug power and disconnect each section pipe and light string. Find a great place in the garage or ??? to mount wall hooks (bike hooks?) that will hold the 10' lengths for next year. No tangles, no boxes, no worry or dread for next time. (thanks). 8^)

Chum holder is also great for thawing bait

In a shop, we use if for a vertical storage system for small metal stock. Works great.

BRILLIANT!!!!

FIll a 5 gallon bucket with lengths of PVC pipe standing up inside almost to the top. I then store my 3' to 6' lengths of small steel rod, small pipe, small angle, etc. The PVC holds these straight up enough that the center of gravity does not tip the bucket over.

Rachna Thapa youre right, good Sir..

I love PVC. So here is an update for your extension chord "roller". Put two slots in your winding protrusion so you can put the plug into it when you go to roll. Then you won't have to try and hold it in your hand and roll at the same time. Or cut a small piece of PVC in half such that the chord will fit into the groove and then glue it to the side of your winder so you don't have to hold the chord in your hand.

Frame for archery backstop aswell as bow stand pvc works great for
