Remember to turn off the breaker/ tape the switch so you don't get juiced. ANY...

WOW!!!!!!!! Took me two seconds with the screwdriver! Thumbs Up!!!
💪💪👍
Man YOU ARE A SUPER HERO!!! 🦸♂️ my kids thank you!!
💪💪👊👍👍NICE!!! Thanks for the feedback!!
To everybody watching…….USE THE SCREWDRIVER HACK! It works amazingly! I’m so angry at the manufacturer for supplying that stupid tool! This is literally a hundred times faster and easier! This man is a genius!
This was the only video I found that actually worked. Thank you literally took less than a minute and popped right off!
NICE!! 💪💪
I think going to an auto store was a brilliant move. Hot tip: Auto zone has a "Loan-A-Tool" service. You provide a deposit that covers the cost of the tools you need to borrow, and if you get the tools back in good condition in 90 days or less you get the FULL deposit back! So in the instance of needing the impact wrench with more impact, but it's impractical in your everyday to "own" it, this option would be a great fit!
Boom!!!
💥👊
Feeding the birds & watching which birds come to eat is very beautiful & relaxing
My question for over 20 years has been answered 😂
Stratocaster owners be like:
☝️😁
2:27 "That's not a knoif. THIS is a knoif!" Haaaaaaaahahahahahaha! Dayum!
Roight!! 🔪🐊😂🤣
@@raddadprojects Yep! Hahahah! By the way, I took your advice, and I also went to Harbor Freight, and got the next size or two down from "Big Daddy." Popped that (really aggravating) puppy right off! Thank heavens and this video! Of course, it turned out it was one or the other of the two thermostats, but that's okay, didn't hurt to change out the elements in any case, eh?
Where Khaby at
🤷♂️
been doing it that way for 40+yrs
Nice 👊💪
Could just use your hands lmao
then ur hands will get dirty
clearly, you've never been to singapore...
Thank you!
👊👍
You get my subscribe, this just saved my bacon 🥓🙏
Nice!! Glad it helped! 💪👊
Hi All, a word of caution… I tried doing spring attachment with screwdriver and it broke under the pressure and flew over and could have hit someone. Be very careful.
Thank you bro I almost lost my shit getting that damn thing off on top of cutting my self on the tin on the mobile home😑
👊💪
I nominate you for the Nobel Peace Prize. Thank you for this video!!!!
I graciously accept. 😊 Glad it helped!
Beauty - thank you sir!
I found even easier solution than this lol i just did mine i couldnt find any usefull video. All you do is use an extra spring from the spare springs you have to connect all of the others springs and then lastly connect the one you have been using to connect the other ones with.
I owe u a beer sir. Saved the fucking day
I use that same exact impact and socket to work on my wrist watch and now time really flies!
Could it REALLY be that simple? Ill let u know
If you have an element cemented in calcium like that, you have worse problems than a stuck element...replace the heater. Simple. Here's another hint. USE an IMPACT wrench on the anode as well, but I bet the anode in that tank is rotted away as well.
That's not an "impact" type socket. Those chrome sockets can shatter. Hope that you were wearing eye protection.
That's a good point. Yeah, chrome wasn't the best way to go. Thanks for the feedback.
Return those tools for a refund.
Get you a whole house water filter and flush your water heater couple times a year to keep lime from buildup
I've considered the filter before. thanks for the suggestion!
Hit it on the corner with a cold chisel, it will turn. btw... no such thing as a hot water heater. Hot water doesn't need to be heated, just sayin...
Tried the chisel but couldn't get it to budge but might not have been doing it right ...and yes, true 🔥💧thanks for the feedback.
@raddadprojects well I'm glad you got it out. The 1st rule of plumbing is you've got a 50/50 chance of what ever you put a wrench on will break off in your hand. LOL
That’s my pet peeve it’s a water heater 🤣🤣 call it that
@@andrewfleming8428 meh 😁😁 🤣🤣
With that much buildup your going to get a shot life from the replacement, tank capacity's reduced and probably near the end of life. Better long term solution, replace the water heater and since your subject to sediment buildup perform routine flushing. On the positive your now the long term owner of some one time use tools.
hmm, ok... yes, garage full of em. Ha. thanks for the feedback
Thanks dude! I’m a plumber and something tells me I will be returning to this video in the future 👍🏻
Thanks for the feedback!!
Water. Heater.
🤔🤔Good point. 😁
...lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 minute video for a "0.02 second solution" Imma tell you like this, here... Just like i tell my girl, less yap and more sammich.
I to like sammiches. 🥪
@@raddadprojects you too, eh? 😏 Thank you for your content.
I would've tried a breaker bar with a "cheater" on it first. The longer the better. But glad you got it out.
ok, what you mean 'cheater'? I tried a breaker bar but couldn't get enough bite or force to hold on to the element nut. Thanks for the feedback!
@@raddadprojects The same six point socket, with a breaker bar but slip a long pipe, maybe 3 feet or so over the breaker bar. The pipe is called a "cheater". It increases the leverage. Archimedes said "give me a lever long enough and I can move the world" (paraphrase)
nope. The only thing would be an impact wrench with the correctly sized socket. Same thing on the anode nut.
Yeah, we hauled out the breaker bar we keep in the trunk of the car, and we just couldn't get enough bite, the nut's profile is too low. You can try it, though...
Thank you!!!🎉
👊
I. Always have problems with the spring, so thank you for this video
Glad it helped! 👍 Thanks for the feedback.
Sono davvero belle le parole di montaggio
This man is a hero
👊👍
Omg! Thank you do much
You are the man!! The screwdriver worked perfectly!!
👊💪👍
Thank you for your info ....You truly help me Thank you. .Happy holidays
🎄👍
Good videow, I've seen a lot of videos on what people use to hang up there garland, some don't even show the important things they use, I see you use zip ties & bread twisty's great, but the key item here, is that "cup Hook" your using to tie the bread twist, a lot of people leave those important details out, TY for your time, now you gave me a good idea!
Did not help at all, how could you hang it with the zip tie when there's no space or a holes on the frame, proper detal direction please
I noticed that this brand quickly fades or comes off! How did you prevent your snow from moving, or coming off?
Thank u good sir quick straight to the point vid. No bad words used after watching this 😂
💪💪👊
So - I am too far along to do the every 9th spring. The Ratchet straps - gonna try it now. The ratchet option did not work for me. It bent the ring. I bent it back properly and then left every 9th spring. Attaching a few from each quarter bit by bit was faster and easier.
Wow! That screwdriver trick is incredible! So easy doing it that way!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!
Not all heroes wear capes 👏🏼
👊💪
I think you just saved my life.....😮😅
🫵👊💪
It's all done!! Thank you so Much! Saved me so much time and money!
Hey if you open the ratchet strap all the way so it's flat. That will unlock the bottom ratchet mechanism by itself
👍perfect thanks!
You absolute genius 🎉
😊
