  • Don't wrestle with uncoiling a pex coil by hand. Build one of these in under 20 minutes for less than 20 bux!

    This is simply outstanding. Thank you so much for taking the time out to do a.video and show the rest of us. Trash can bottom is the secret sauce. Nicely done gentleman, you have my sincere gratitude.

    very clever. I too wasn't looking at paying even a 100 for a manufactured uncoiler. Gotta love simple.

    Very clever and handy solution, particularly for an area where you have room to work with like shown in the video. Kudos!

    I agree excellent solution
    I have 3 uncoilers all around the $450 mark.
    None are great
    Just about to build my own from pvc about $100.
    But is good enough to use on weekly basis.
    Will film and show the world my idea.

    YOU ARE awesome! I have used the uncoiled, they cost 2K now. Yours seems better IMO

    I respectfully argue that this is not likely to be under $20, unless you have some of the parts laying around. It does vary by location but nonetheless it's LESS than $50, which is still a huge savings.
    Cool idea and thanks for sharing

      You're right... if you had to buy a new sheet of 1/2 plywood and a new trash can dolly, that would put you at $50 right there. But one could get even more creative and replace the plywood with a half sheet of drywall or some other 1/4 or 1/2 scrap board or rigid foam laying around for much cheaper. And I'd have to think longer for a cheap dolly replacement!

      True true. Glad you didn't take offense. It's a sweet setup you got. Im a new homeowner looking to do some minor pex work (installing whole house filters). My pex told came yesterday and I realized I could use an uncoiler.
      I may be able to get away without one for my tiny projext but will likely still build your setup. It's very sturdy.
      Nice job again man.

    That PEX looks very flexible - maybe type A? Type B might not come out straight.

    • @davidpatrick3533
      @davidpatrick3533  Před 5 lety

      Yes, you're right that the video is pex A. The uncoiling process helps straighten and manage just about any pex type, especially 1/2" pex. The other benefit of uncoiling which is just as important is to prevent kinks. When you work with larger, stiffer pipe like 1" pex or HDPE, uncoiling is super important.
