Separate Stuck Buckets
Learn how to separate bonded buckets using an air compressor blow gun.
Sometimes figuring out how to get buckets unstuck seems to require superhuman strength. The next time you’re faced with two bonded buckets, try blowing them apart. Just slide the tip of an air compressor blow gun between the buckets, pull the trigger, and be amazed. The blow guns with the skinny tips work best, but you can have success with the snub-nose blow guns as well.
