Handyman tips and hacks one of these ideas in this video is a simple homemade hydrogen generator make sure you watch to the end for that.
How many opened the video to just watch the lighter hack and now feel like being cheated 😒
FINALLY! I can just grab my drill, some screws, some baking soda, a syringe, a D battery, and some gorilla glue to make a lighter that barely lights, and could potentially explode, instead of wasting 2 bucks on a new one!
Actually, they sell those lighters like the one shown here for $0.50. They’re dirt cheap, all the more reason to just buy one instead😂😂
@@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson it's only 25 cents where I live
With that intellect, that's definitely the better option ;)
Free where I live,nic them!

I did use the duct tape backing on sand paper. That one I will give a thumbs up.
seems like the only actual tip in the video.
I once used some duck tape and a bore patch as a makeshift bandaid at the shooting range. 😀
@@lancerevell5979 There’s a video from long ago where the guy patched up half the fuselage on a Plane with Duct-tape…. and flew back home. it’s a looker.
@@adamfirst9321 If I remember correctly, Myth busters made a boat out of Duct tape.
That might be the only tip in the video.
I’m a handyman, thank god no one knows about the glass coke bottle trick! My business would go under!
What do you do with half a bottle?
How about the start a fire with a pencil and a USB cord trick? Or the I should probably just go buy another lighter since I used glue that costs more than a new lighter trick?
@@MegaMato sarcasm
Yeah but I'm sincerely asking what one would do with half a bottle. There must be something.
@@MegaMato use it as a cup 🤷🏽♂️
That lighter "hack" is a really long walk for a short drink of water. 😂😂

Hi is video very useful kzhead.info/sun/ZJiKl96Fel-Bmmw/bejne.html
Seems like it would be easier and cheaper to just buy another lighter
Everything on this channel is bro
Yep. I feel like comparing my handyman technique and videoing it, which would be a video of me driving to Dollar General 5 minutes away and buying a lighter. Problem solved.
The part that cracks me up is where he spends all that time to mod that sketchy lighter and then on the next object he uses a completely different lighter 🤣
Although that lighter was pretty cool. It would prolly cost me more to build that sucka then to just go buy a new one. But good trick if im out in the boondocks.
Man literally built a portable ionizer it's actually pretty neat
It’s a damn hydrogen bomb! Don’t play with it near an open flame kids! Although, the plastic of the lighter would start to melt.
@@walkinaxyl who's playing? I'm serious enough to upscale this idea to epic proportions. Then it's uses as fuel is of interest.
@@walkinaxyl oh lighten up ! 🤣
When I saw my handyman hook my refrigerator up to a pencil, at first I was skeptical, but then he referred me to this video and I've been assured that he's a professional after all.
😅😅
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha! 😆❤️I love it! So funny 😘🤣
You misunderstand, the pencil isn't being used to transfer charge. The graphite is a good resistor, so they're using it to generate heat to use a soldering iron. Actually a pretty cool trick for if you're lacking the actual tool.
I also noticed something, it’d make far more sense for your “handyman”, or contractor, to want you to know these. So they can charge you thousands of dollars to repair the explosion you created in your home.
Lol ur So Right
that cracked me up 😆

You don't need to drill holes in wood to twist wire with a drill. You can just put the wire's directly into the chuck of the drill.
You could just use linesman pliers since that's what they're actually made for.
I'm an electrician of 27 year if you twist wire long enough calluses will build up enough you can twist # 12 solid wore with your bare hands just as nice and neat.
@@carlvegeiii3756 I strip wire with my teeth
@@joestalin2375 your dentist will love that. Enamel is too fragile to monkey with as a tool. Plus if you damage them you can't fix them properly.
Or you could go for broke, and use a pair of pliers! Oops sorry let that one slide 😮😮
I started doing the lighter hack... Noticed the electrical arcing in my drill... Used that to light my joint... Thanks for the tip.
lmfao
My handyman would be so mad if I learned how to partially fix a lighter. Thank you!
I don't often LOL... ty
I watched my grandfather in Pennsylvania cut tops off glass gallon jugs this way using kerosene & string. When the fire burned out, he tapped lightly around the string line with a small hammer. The top usually broke off clean. He put the body of the jug upside down over his rose bushes to protect them through the winter. I loved that ol’ guy!
I'm going to try it one day but I can't even cut flat cheap window glass with a 25 dollar glass cutter so I doubt if I can do it but it won't stop me from trying
@@bobmcnoodler270 you dont even need kerosene. Ive done it with isopropyl alcohol, string, bucket of cold water and glass beer bottles.

That's a great way to fry your usb adapter, Shorting the leads to make that soldering iron tip heat up requires a ton of current. Even on the lower power end, a soldering iron would require 20W to be dissipated. From a 5 volt usb supply that would mean 4 amps of current is required, when most usb adapters are rated between 1 and 3 amps. This is disregarding power losses throughout the length of the tip and contact resistances at the terminals.
It doesn't make sense why anyone would consider making one when you can buy one.
Nah, the adapter is absolutely safe. That weensy cable will catch fire long before the adapter does, it's actually doubling as a fuse. :P
@@MunyuShizumi that's if the lead in the pencil doesn't break first. I can't write with such a long tip let alone attach hardware to it 🤣

Great way to F¿ck up a USB port in a hurry, at least install a fusible link
I was at home trying to watch this video when suddenly some handyman's kicked down my door and slammed my laptop shut. They told me they don't want me to know the forbidden secrets of the sacred order of the handyman's. I would like to watch this video but they threatened to come back and shut my laptop again. I'm afraid of the handyman's.
"(Don't fear) the handyman" was the working title of the famous song by Blue Oyster Cult
@@countk1 I'd love to see how they would have made a cowbell with a pencil, some bleach, a drill and some hedge trimmers
@@ninetydegreeplanet I guess you have to ask Bruce... ;)
😂
DON'T MAKE ME COME ROUND THERE AGAIN!!!
I showed this video to my handyman and he started crying.
What a wuss
I sure did knowing somebody gonna set their house on fire
😅
They go by "handyman's" these days.
Finally! I can stop paying a handyman to cut my Coke bottles in half.
Think about it, it gives you an idea how to make your own bong or chellum 😉
I was just going to make this comment when I came across yours. This video just seems like somebody curious and testing different things out. I wonder if he can show me how to repair a truss easily.
YES!!!
LOLOLOLOLOLOL I know right! These vids are entertaining, but it takes 3 weeks in the real world to make his contraptions!
People don't need handymen any longer. The Electrical Engineer can do anything on the three-day weekend. Let's see: make $100k to $400k for the Man; make $10/hr on weekends.
Cool tricks to make small jobs take longer!
Rfyduf😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😊😊😊
Boy oh boy, if my handyman found out I figured out how to make a soldering iron out of a pencil, piece of wire, and a usb connector…. He’d be soooooo pissed!
I'm pissed as a handyman that I have been using quality store bought soldering irons. when I could have been making a superior one with just a pencil broken charger and a piece of copper wire.
For real . I feel like a dummie for spending $12 on 1 the other day
As someone who has seen a lighter explode when chucked at the ground, that seems like an awfully dangerous project to do when you could just buy a refillable lighter.
Yes or refill a lighter like that with butane used to refill refillable take off silver cap and don't remember exactly how but seen it done.
It's a cool experiment though. He's basically making a hydrogen lighter
its the science behind it that i believe that is what is trying to be conveyed.
@@xXVintersorgXx Actually, it is Brown's gas.
.05 mm of flint on that lighter it will stop sparking before it runs out of butane and the screws cost more than the lighter I didnt watch just commenting on the thumbnail lol
I'm reminded of advice by Father Guido Sarducci, who said you can make an emergency umbrella with a garbage bag, a hulahoop and a stick. "So if it's raining and you don't have an umbrella, but you do have, you know, a garbage bag, a hulahoop and a stick....".
Guido Sarducci: Now that's a name! 🤌🇮🇹
I can hear this response, complete with accent, in my head. Thx for the guffaw!
I'm glad someone remembers Sarducci! Wow you could just use a pliers to twist wires together!
Channels like this are made to hasten the distribution of Darwin awards. Keep it up. 👍
Always wanted a rechargeable lighter... So I bought one!
If your handyman uses any of these 'hacks' he himself is a hack!
Most handymen are
Hey the pencil soldering thing is pretty cool. Just for shits and giggles of course lol
Very much so. All of them are more trouble than they are worth, some downright dangerous. Hack a staircase into existence, then the handyman might be scared :D
😂
What do you have against strengthening sandpaper with duct tape?
A far simpler and easier way to twist wires is if you have a keyless chucked drill, put both, or as many as you need, into the Chuck, tighten it down, and spin! I used that all the time doing car stereo installs. No need to drill out a piece of wood. And if you’re able to drill out the wood, then you’ve clearly already got the drill. Try it!
Agreed lol I do that in my channel all the time
I use a drill as you say, OR Safety wire pliers..
Or a small Shepard's hook of like t-grid wire, chucked up in the chuck. You don't have to chuck and unchuck. You just spin, pull off, move to next set.
What's *even* simpler is using a pair of bloody pliers🙄
3:03 **Sitting in class** Cute girl: do you have a pencil I can borrow? This guy: it's complicated
“We only have 5 seconds, MacGruber!” “Ok, hand me a pencil, that USB adapter …”
Who are these handymen that don’t want us to know these secrets??? How can we punish them?? I suggest we make a lot of crazy Vic lighters to show them who’s the boss!
Thats exactly what i was thinking
And how did inventor 101 find out?? The intrigue 🤔 is overwhelming
Uggg!!! This is a deeper problem than I thought!! Lol
how are all our secrets getting out! who is the masked handyman?😂
The lighter will build up pressure of both hydrogen and oxygen, turning it into a bomb if left on the battery for long enough.
Now that’s a good idea! Leave it plugged in someone you don’t likes car cigarette lighter port, and BOOM!!
Thought the same thing. Might do it then sue you tube saying they told me it was safe
that will be on the next hack video, how to McGyver a lighter bomb with a battery a bit of wire and some baking soda and screws.
I would hardly call a lighter 10 percent filled with hydrogen and oxygen and 90 percent water a bomb.
As a handyman, *I'M FURIOUS* that you know this.
The reason handymen don't want you to know this is because literally every 'Tips & Hacks' that was shown was just a really inefficient way to go about it
youre saying working 1 hour at mcdonals to buy a cheap solder iron is more efficient then making one out of household products? hmmm maybe , but then you gotta write a resume, apply a bunch of times, buy some clothes, wake up couple hours early , or you could have just turned that pencil and wire on your desk into one...? i dunno... close call.
That and most of them literally either have zero purpose or just proving how much effort someone will go through so they don’t spend $1. Click bait.
let's all hope nothing happens to tech that we dont need to be learning these things.
What do you mean? Making a custom wood bit for your drill to twist 2 over stripped wires and leaving them exposed is much more efficient than a wing nut
@@mikejones-vd3fg bahaha! That was great 😂
The duck tape and sand paper is a pretty good idea have to remember it

Love the soldering iron great idea but you must get the wires round the right way to make it work.😊
“Great, I now know how to split a glass coke bottle” said no one ever
I'd be more interested in where he got a glass Coke bottle.
Good way to make a set of glass tumblers .
Except handyman's. How do you think handyman's became so handy? Half bottles, that's how. You will never be a handyman's if you can't see this.
Thanks mate, my soldering iron works great:)
That was certainly a way to solder... I'll stick with an actual soldering iron
The definition of spending a minute to save a second
Take it from a 20 year experience handyman... ........if my lighter suddenly stops working, I simply just ask someone if I can use theres
I just go to my truck, still have a lighter in mine
Youre a disgrace to handymen everywhere who pop out of the shadows to bait clients with the line "need a light?"
I just pull out the map\pro torch or my micro torch 😂 edit: I forgot the heat gun.

Wow. He invented some type of iron for soldering. If only something was available on the market.
Maybe on that didn't break the second you look at it.
@marcpalac 🤣 you got here before me, still super cool though. One day I’ll actually try a few of these
I was about to remark that it better be a thick pencil, as the carbon could break off at any time in the assembly of your new pencil solder iron
Yeah, right? Something like TS-80 or TS-100, for instance.

As a handyman myself I have never needed to rig up anything i just watched on a job site. Maybe if I start charging by the hour i could retire early by making my own tools on the job.

That pencil soldering iron was pretty cool
Yeah cool until you get electrocuted definitely would have to tape up the bare wire areas to keep that from happening
If your charger can handle it without blowing up. The resistance of the small graphite section will be way too low for most

@@MT-sb6ms Yeah it won't last very long that is for sure and why go through the trouble?
Seemed very risky way to solder
A wall charger will never have enough amps to create the type of heat needed, pencil lead or anything....
That's what I thought
A typical wall charger is 2.1 amps at 5 volts. That's 10.5 Watts. They sell 10 Watt soldering irons. As it is a resistive load, it should be 100% efficient.
@@Hidyman - That's what I thought..
@@Hidyman But will you get anything like 100% heat transfer, lucky if you get 50% i.e. a 5 watt iron.

If there was an apocalypse where you couldn't just go out and buy lighters, I guess I can see where the lighter hack would come in handy. Now how do you diy a battery to make the lighter work? 😃
I feel like I just waisted my time
This is the perfect comedy channel. A doomsday prepper walks into a bar already drunk and says to himself "The apocalypse is coming I better get my portable meth head diy tool chest and turkey baster ready, hmm maybe I can combine those 2 things in a KZhead video."
It would be easier to just lay one of those screws across the terminals on the battery to heat the screw up enough to start a fire.

This is the type handyman that's coming back and cutting all the Copper out if your new house at 230 am
I've tried the last one five times before this video and none worked good enough but the lighter one really is like a lot of work for the little flame
I'd much rather have a conversation with the person who made the lighter than all the fcking smart-arsed dullards who are criticising and saying you should just buy a lighter.
yes, cause im sure my handyman doesnt want me to know how to cut a coke bottle in half
I cant tell you how many times I've tried the bottle string thing and never got it to work one time
To ensure you get success.... Use extremely cold water for immersing the bottle after using the string burn method. It is actually the extreme difference in temperature that causes the glass to contract in the cold.

it won't last it's too bulky the graphite will melt and/or break as the slightest torque.. and it's 5 volts at no more than 2 amps. no way that'll get up to 450 to melt 40/60

Wonderful! There are so many ideas, and they're all realized. A new discovery!
I think smashing two rocks together would have been easier than the lighter hack.
That last one, the soldering iron, I've seen prison inmates do, minus the copper and the clamp.
You spend more money to refill that lighter with your inefficient "trick" that only works 1 time, than just buying a refillable one with a brutane can to refill it a dozen of times

A few conundrums arrise for me. For instance, the soldering iron pencil subject; is that just an extreme low melting temperature solder? Usb power supplys depicted max out at 5 amps ? roughly
Agreed. Plus different varieties of copper line have different resistance (ohms) values depending on the purity of said copper. A power or adapter source could possibly overheat.
@@ufafgd The graphite is the heating element, the copper is just to transfer the heat and hold the melted solder. You are looking at about 10 Watts of power.
Ok I get what you did with the lighter! You made an cathode and an electrode , and by putting the 9 volt battery on it you made hydrogen and oxygen! Very nice! That sir was snazzy!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Art attack?
@@starrystarrynight9822 check it on Wikipedia. Was a Kid show: Art Attack is a British children's television programme revolving around art, originally hosted by Neil Buchanan on CITV from 1990 to 2007, and subsequently hosted by Lloyd Warbey on Disney Junior from 2012 to 2015.
Can we just respect the fact that this guy had some cool ideas that actually work, and was willing to share them with us? Why does everyone have to be so negative?
Other than cutting the glass bottle This is more like a video of how people do things that don't have the proper tools but are creative AF 🤣😂🤣
And the glass bottle trick almost never works
The lighter is cool and all, but that gas is a mixture of both hydrogen and oxygen so it could potentially blow up in your hand.
What, you think that cheap lighter doesn't have a back-flow arrester?
That last one can't be real. No way a 5V usb can melt solder.
Even if it did work, there's no way I would use a USB switch mode power supply to do it. That's got instant cut-out or small electrical fire written all over it.
Exelent,,, really exelent.. Thanks for the tips..
Showed my handyman the soldering iron. He shouted "Who told you about this?!!". He was most upset.
I think a dead short to make the soldering iron would kill that charger in 2 seconds.
$5.50 for a soldering iron at harbor freight, less elsewhere I'd bet.
@@billp4 I know. I'm laughing at a lot of these comments. I'm sure these videos are popular in penitenturies
So I can make a soldering iron out of a pencil and pretty much use that to make other contraptions. Interesting.
Now I can toss out my pencil soldering irons and make one out of a pencil. Genius, never would thought of that.. Also can use pencil lead for cutting metal but I would have to make a video to show how it's done..
