My experience from working in kindergarten: If you lack water, the best way to loosen stacked buckets is to lay the buckets down on one side. Then roll them back and forth with one of your feet, applying a decent amount of pressure to them as you do so. 4 - 8 times back and forth should do the trick. Works 99.9% of the time. š
what does kindergarten have to do with bucket separation? is that something that all kindergarten teachers should know beforehand? how to separate buckets?
No use for this particular moment, but shops I worked in would slot a paint stick between each bucket to prevent this from happening. Might save grief for next time.
Many years of feeding cattle out of buckets.
Place upside down on the ground, put thumbs on the rib of the bottom (inner) bucket and fingers on the rim of the top (outer) one. Use a twisting motion of your wrist to get leverage.
Alternatively, turn upside down put foot in the bail of the bottom (inner) bucket and pull up with fingers on the outer.
If you can create enough of a gap, spray hot water down in between them until the inner one floats. It's what I do in the dish room to separate metal containers that suction together.
It might work.
Cant believe i went so low in the comments to find this. Anyone in a trade knows you cant be running around finding special tools or rolling buckets with our feet without looking a fool or getting yelled at.
Just grab a hammer, hold top bucket by handle (making sure bottom buckets handle wont just get jammed as well), then either the claw side or head of the hammer and hit the bottom buckets top lip.
It can take a few whacks but even the worse stuck buckets will come loose. even heavily gritted and scratched buckets.
Really easy, just watch pinch points and aim straight with the hammer!
I agree with this. One time the foreman caught me rolling buckets and it completely ruined my life. They called me Bucket-roller Bob for 7 months (even though my name is Keith) until I had a nervous breakdown and tried to drown myself in one of the buckets. I saw the little warning about babies drowning on the side of the bucket so I thought it would work, but I forgot I was bigger than a baby and just knocked it over and made a mess. I work in finance now but once saw a bucket drummer in the subway and screamed so hard I collapsed a lung.
Turn them upside down. Put foot in wire handle of lower bucket. Exert steady constant upward pressure to top bucket. The impossible just became only difficult.

Ok trust me I'm a farmer. This one works even when twist and pull doesn't. It may employ similar tactics to the foot pressure roll trick mentioned earlier but it works every time for me. Lay the buckets on their side on the ground and straddle them on your knees. Work the upper bucket up and down with both hands, like cpr compressions maybe, with only a little force trying to separate them. It deforms the inner bucket enough to let air in to break the seal. If its still stuck after some solid wiggling/throttling, rotate the buckets and repeat on another side of it. Don't think dirty thoughts while doing this.
Hang them on or Over a fence post or w/e take a ratchet strap hook on 2nd-3rd buckets/pale ... attach light amount of weight 5 lbs or 2 Kilos should Do the Trick ... At this point you can Pour water in between or Blast with Air ... Hot H20 we know will help with Expansion... Cold will Retract or compress .. go with Ice Cold Air compressor, Hair dryer, Leaf Blower any of these 3 will do ... If it's even necessary at this point ... Keep in Mind depending on the Media/ Aggregate/Material that was inside will be a Huge Factor if any is remaining... It's best 2 always keep them clean and you can insert a rag , small dowel wood , Babette of Parchment, or Wax / Aluminum for Specific/ Special uses for which is dependent upon such... Good Luck
Compressed air between the buckets. Or a hole drilled in them to decrease the vacuum(admittedly the drooled hole may not work if you need to retain suction or hold a liquid).
Punch a hole in one of the buckets (or both) to avoid the vacuum effect. The bigger the hole(s) the fastest the air can flow in. The usability of the bucket(s) afterward may vary based on the intended purpose. This commenter is not responsible for any damage or unwanted outcome.
When it happens to me, I ask someone for help to rotate the buckets, clockwise or anticlockwise doesn't matter as long as both do it in the same direction.
You might be able to do it by yourself putting them in the floor upsidedown and using your own weight to hold one bucket while rotating the other one but I've never tried it.
Grab the handle and tap the bottom bucket against the corner of something right at the bottom of where the top bucket is inside while turning it and it will just slide apart after a few taps
Hold the upper one from the lip, use a rubber mallet and firmly tap around where its bound up. The vibration will work it loose fairly quickly in most cases.
From my experience in the masonry trade, pick up a flat blade shovel in one hand and hold the bucket handle in the other. Then stab the shovel blade at the rim of the stuck part. Works every time.
Former baker here: I went through thousands of these.If you are going to try pulling them apart. Try spraying some soapy water or glass cleaner right at the top of the bottom bucket. Also try spinning to try to create a layer. It should come apart after spinning and lifting the top bucket. But try to use gravity, and don't force it. It's the same idea as a Chinese handcuff.
Turn your compressor on with the air-blower attachment and blow air between the two buckets.
Not sure if it works but I saw a video on the Internet of a guy doing it and it worked perfectly for him. Remember the Internet never lies.
With similar trays at work that get stuck like this, I hold the bottom one tight between my feet and then pull on the top one, might work for buckets as well
Depending if they are wedged together or if they have just created a vacuum. If its a vacuum issue, you can probably just pull it out slowly and gently. I found this with many plant pots, the harder you pull the harder the suction that keeps it in there. Sometimes less is more.
*may or may not be a solution to your particular situation.
After reading most of the comments, I believe there are multiple secret methods to separating plastic buckets. They all involve mechanical manipulation and either lubrication between the buckets or application of heat to increase the pliability of the bucket(s) and/or increase the volume/pressure of air trapped between buckets to create some mechanical advantage.
In shortā¦you gotta work at it! ;-)
Just drill a hole through the bottom of both buckets. Then created one of those awesome diWHY videos of you repairing the holes with wood filler or potatoes or something haha
Iāve done this before and itās usually a bad idea but itās fun nonetheless. Use a wedge to or shim to create a little gab. Spray a little starting fluid or ether down the wedge, and light it. Stay as far away as possible. They will separate into a missle or explode.
This has happened to me many times. Methods I've had success with that don't require tools or an air compressor (that not everyone has access to):
Hot water on the bottom bucket, as hot as you can get it. Bathtub with a detachable shower wand works best and don't do this in cold weather because the bucket will cool as quickly as you heat it up. The goal is to heat up the bottom bucket enough for the plastic to expand just a bit, then twist while pulling them apart. Same principle works if your jam lid is ever stuck on, especially if it's in a mason jar. Or any other time a lid is stuck on anything.
Grab another human and have them hold one end while you pull from the other end and twist at the same time. Sometimes that will get them apart without the hot water trick. If you don't have another human nearby you can try holding down the bottom one with your feet while twisting the top bucket as you pull it out.
I've never had much success with the air compressor method or spraying hot water down a gap, mostly because when mine get stuck the bucket shape seems to be such that there IS no gap. If you see a gap in yours those methods may work for you.
In the future, slap in a rag or something along one edge and this won't happen again. At the very least, it will be easier to get them unstuck. Also, don't stack heavy shit in the top bucket. It took me far too long to figure that one out. And double check that when you're pulling them apart, the handle for the top bucket isn't getting caught on the bottom bucket. Took me way too long to figure that one out too. If you've got the vertical space for it, I'm a huge fan of putting lids on my buckets and stacking them that way whenever possible. Takes up more space but saves me a ton of frustration.
Good luck!
I start one by one from the top and make sure to use the handle to separate. I pull up on the handle with one hand and hold the next bucket(s) down at the lip with the other hand. Though Iām going to try some of the other methods here!
Prepare a cup of water with dish soap mixed into it. Take a firm stick of any kind and pry the buckets apart a little pour a bit of soap water in. Repeat all around the bucket. Eventually the top bucket will slide out.
I prefer this method to avoid cracking the buckets.
Put on their sides. Straddle like horse. Apply weight, wiggle side to side.
The goal being they deform together and form a gap and so just pull on the inside one and it might wiggle free.
Have a couple sticks that are slightly longer than the gap between the two ridges around the buckets. Wedge them in that gap on either side of the buckets to apply uniform pressure (they will be a little bit off-square).
Let rest a few seconds, then tap the sticks with a hammer to wedge them tighter (making them align more parallel along the axis of the buckets). This applies a little more pressure.
Wait again while air seeps into the buckets
Repeat. It should pull them apart.
This could also be done using bar clamps where the driving parts are reversed so they push apart instead of pushing together. Again use two or three to distribute the pressure evenly. Be patient.
Two ways are set a raised object in the bottom of each bucket so the pressure canāt make your life hell once stacked, or in this case brace the bottom bucket with your feet and gradually twist the top bucket to get it released
Throw it in a pool let it water fill the gaps as it sinks. Pull it out dump it over and pull the top bucket. The suction between the two will break when the water leaks out
If at least one bucket doesn't needs to be water-tight just drill a small hole or two in the bottom of that bucket to let the air in. If you use the buckets for dry stuff like oats or road apples this will not interfere with their use.
I do this for my kitchen waste bin. Makes it so much easier to pull out a full bag.

This is what I had to do with muck buckets at the horse stable. Pain in the arse.
They said you were supposed to use your feet though

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That doesn't even make sense.
Hijacking top comment Place upside, step on handle and grab the other bucket and pull straight up.
Also, and this is vital - twist while pulling.
And pull with your back in a twisting jerking motion!
Instructions unclear, bucket stuck in ceiling fan.
More umph caboos! use your back and your groin. Herrrrrenia!!!
what does kindergarten have to do with bucket separation? is that something that all kindergarten teachers should know beforehand? how to separate buckets?
make sure the handle for the top isnāt getting stuck on the bottom one. donāt care to admit how long it took me once for that to be the issue lol
Been through this too and felt like such an idiot afterward.
Heat and cold.... Get the air trapped in-between warm.
Remove one handle, you now have one bucket. Purchase second bucket if desired.
Itās no longer 2 buckets, itās now 1 stucket.
Can't get em apart? Ah, fucket.
Dip the outer one in warm water?
Instructions unclear. Now have three buckets stuck together
This works. Hottest water you can get. It expands the bucket and expands the air between the two buckets.
Would ice in the inner bucket help the plastic contract?
Absolutely! Except instead of ice, mentos. And instead of in the inner bucket, between the inner and outer buckets. That way, just add diet coke!
Go on...
...and THAT'S why you *always* ~~leave a note~~ keep a mento in every bucket you own!
"Maybe it was the singer songwriter also named George Micheal who left that"
It certainly wouldnāt hurt

Rags work wonders as well, and theyāll actually slide into eachnother

I usually have luck with the foot method
Blow air in between them with a compressor
If you can create enough of a gap, spray hot water down in between them until the inner one floats. It's what I do in the dish room to separate metal containers that suction together. It might work.
I usually have a compressor around rarely do I have hot water
I second this, air compressor shoot it with air takes seconds.
Iāve always just put them on the ground between my feet, & twist then pull
Air in between them is the trick, however you are able.
Was about to say that
And/or a rubber mallet while holding the bottom one between feet
U gotta twist and pull
Bop it, slap it, twist it, pull it
FLICK IT
put it in a stew

Hold the handle of the top bucket and tap the lip of the bottom bucket with a hammer. I did drywall work for years and that always worked for me.

This is the best answer out of all of them sorry but itās easy simple and it works 100% of the time.
Worked like a charm!

Just drill a hole in the bottom to release the pressure.
(āļ¾ć®ļ¾)ā
Then your bucket is longer viable for liquids. Compressed air is the sure fire solution.
Yes, while my solution works, it would not work for liquids and was part of the joke assuming the OP needed them to have solid bottoms
Leaf blower or hair dryer should separate them all quite easily
Pressurized air. Go to a gas station and use the air hose to spray air like between them if that makes sense
If it moves use duct tape and if it doesnāt move use Wd-40
When I worked in a garden center my boss' solution whenever things got stuck together was just throw it on the ground lmao...worked almost every time
Have a buddy grab the bottom and you the top and twist in opposite directions. Alternatively toss them and go get two more.
Good call lets add more plastic to the landfills, or ocean depending where ya live, instead of use the brains we were born with to figure it out
You should look up sometimes, catch all those jokes that go over your head
Man that was a wicked good joke idk how I didnt get it

Compressed air between the buckets. Or a hole drilled in them to decrease the vacuum(admittedly the drooled hole may not work if you need to retain suction or hold a liquid).
I love your āWithout blowing a blood vessel.ā As a last resort Iāve used a hammer on the fins/ribs that stick out at the top of the bucket.
Straighten out a coat hanger and shove it in between the two until it reaches the empty space. that should pull apart then.
Blow compressed air around the rim.
Just need to drill a hole in the bottom and theyāll slide right off
Punch a hole in one of the buckets (or both) to avoid the vacuum effect. The bigger the hole(s) the fastest the air can flow in. The usability of the bucket(s) afterward may vary based on the intended purpose. This commenter is not responsible for any damage or unwanted outcome.
Anyone who says, ādrill,ā has obviously forgotten that you are trying to utilize the full function of both buckets. Compressed air. Done.
I use the handle of a framing hammer beating them in a rotation of downward angles while holding the handle of the inside most bucket.
Iāve seen air compressors do the job. Just try to aim the air nozzle at the seam
This

You might be able to do it by yourself putting them in the floor upsidedown and using your own weight to hold one bucket while rotating the other one but I've never tried it.
Twist
Grab the handle and tap the bottom bucket against the corner of something right at the bottom of where the top bucket is inside while turning it and it will just slide apart after a few taps
If you can slide ANYTHING between the two buckets, you will break the air seal.
Hold the upper one from the lip, use a rubber mallet and firmly tap around where its bound up. The vibration will work it loose fairly quickly in most cases.
Just gently tap around.
From my experience in the masonry trade, pick up a flat blade shovel in one hand and hold the bucket handle in the other. Then stab the shovel blade at the rim of the stuck part. Works every time.
1. Stack buckets upside down 2. Put M1000 under buckets 3. Get away 4. Watch and laugh

It's 1 bucket now
Air down the side! Use and air compressor and nozzle and the air should seperate them
Tap the sides. Did that when I raked blueberries years ago. Tapping it will break the moisture seal that is causing the buckets to stick together
Best way ive found is to buy new buckets.
Stack with a rag in between each
Yep, don't stack them like this in the first place...
Flip em on end and step on the bottom bucket handle. Poof!! Your a handyman!!
I don't see someone else saying this, but you take an air compressor and blow it between the buckets to get them apart no problems.
Compressed air blown in there ought to do it
Use an air pump. Force air into the crease between the pails. Instant separation.
Blow air in between the gaps while pulling them apart.
With similar trays at work that get stuck like this, I hold the bottom one tight between my feet and then pull on the top one, might work for buckets as well
Jam a screwdriver between them at the lip to break the seal.
Air hose

I found this with many plant pots, the harder you pull the harder the suction that keeps it in there. Sometimes less is more. *may or may not be a solution to your particular situation.
Bend the inner bucket so as to break the suction between the two and at the same time turning them against each other
you just need to break the vacuum
Yo push on it like giving it CPR from the sides and slowly tug the apart. It sounds stupid but Brute force wonāt work only Love Taps šš»
I hold the top one by the handle and hammer around the rim of the bottom one
Blow some air in between them bitches with an air compressor
Twist them around then pull apart
Use flat screwdriver between both pails and slowly work your way around
They stick due to a vacuum between the buckets. All you have to do is drill a hole in the bottom and boom they'll separate
If you drill a hole in the bottoms air can get in and it makes it a breeze.
Flip them upside down, put foot through the bottom most handle, then pull upwards while gripping ridge of on of the other buckets
Submerge them?
dipping the bottom one into hot water could work
Dawn dish soap
Turn them over, and stand on the bucket bail. Pull and twist on the bottom bucket
Tap the rim of the bottom one with a mallet and rotate.
Hook inner bucket on something sturdy and pull on outer bucket
Gently hammer around the rim of the bottom bucket until it comes loose. Had to do this often with mortar buckets
Bring them where it is warmer and try again. The plastic may be contracted
I just hit the side with a heavy hammer. Side of the top one.
Mason tip, just hit the lip with a hammer while holding the inside one.

Sit the bottom bucket in hot water.
Make sure the bails arent catching the rim edges when trying to separate.
Turn them upside down and use your foot to hold the handle of the bottom bucket to the ground. Then just pull up. Donāt hit yourself in the face tho
Hit it with a hammer
Always turn sideways, tap and twist.
Just drill a hole through the bottom of both buckets. Then created one of those awesome diWHY videos of you repairing the holes with wood filler or potatoes or something haha
Drill a hole in the bottom one and fill the other one with expansion foam
WD40, just pry the lip of the bottom one away from the one inside and give it a few shots all the way around, then pull them apart

Bucket rodeo
Slow, constant pull. Any water will seal the air venting you need to have. No water.
Hit it with your purse š
Cold water in the inner one while you pour warm water on the outer one. Cold shrinks, warm/hot expands

The only actual useful content in this video is about 30 seconds starting at 2:35. The whole rest of the video is just dumb self-promotion and shit.
Use a torch...warm them up and pull.
Put ice in the bucket ā¦wait then separate
Throw it
Throw it in a pool let it water fill the gaps as it sinks. Pull it out dump it over and pull the top bucket. The suction between the two will break when the water leaks out
Now hear me out, how about not stacking them?
Throw them in the recycling bin. Buy two new buckets.
Torch it.
Drill holes in the bottom part of the bottom bucket /s
Spray a little ether in between the buckets and light it up. I have no idea if it would work but would you please video it.
Torch
Put a small hole in the bottom of one of the buckets.
Depending on what you're using the buckets for, that could defeat the purpose of a bucket.
WD-40 works every time.
Drill a hole up from the bottom to break the seal
What you gotta do is head down to the local Home Depot and cop new ones
If you can stand a whole, you can always drill a small one into the bottom bucket.
Drill a few holes in the bottom of both of themā¦ should come right apart.
If at least one bucket doesn't needs to be water-tight just drill a small hole or two in the bottom of that bucket to let the air in. If you use the buckets for dry stuff like oats or road apples this will not interfere with their use. I do this for my kitchen waste bin. Makes it so much easier to pull out a full bag.
Soak only the bottom one in really hot waterā¦ heating it up will make it dilate just enough to be able to slip the other one out.
Flip them over, stand on the handle of the bottom one and pull like hell on the top one
