Pool Float Inflator Life Hack

First things first, After exporting this the audio during the opening went out of sync. I don't know why. I've gone back into my editor half a dozen times and it's fine in the native file. If the beginning is still out of sync when it's uploaded, I humbly apologize. I don't know why it's doing that. All I can say is, bare with it. it self corrects about 30 seconds in.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way- in this video I inflate a pool float with a battery powered air mattress inflator. The nozzle on the inflator is too big for the nozzle on the pool float so I cannibalize a ball point pen to create an adapter to make it fit. No rocket science in this video, but this is the kind of stuff I do all the time, so I might as well shoot it and show it! Enjoy!

I can't thank you enough for this video. I was able to blow up my quick set pool with a pen!!! You rock.

[@ClayCarlino]

I'm so glad! Blowing stuff up is a pain, especially when you don't have the right parts to fit the pump. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

[@sab_1055]

I knew you were gonna do somethin' ridiculous, so I clicked. While this wont work for me I want to inflate at the lake with my battery tire inflator. Maybe I can spin off your idea. However, I would use needle nose pliers rather than my teeth. PS: Do not shiv or shank under any circumstances.

Funny part = you turning slowly away from the camera at the end.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting.

“Don’t judge me internet” 😂

[@ClayCarlino]

Some day I want that on a T-shirt! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

[@PaigeSquared]

Heat wave in my area this week; my toddler asked for his pool to be set up. I saw the tiny mouth pieces on the side of the pool and groaned. THANK YOU!! We will have some fun outside today, thanks for the life hack!! 🙏🥰
The shiv comment made me cackle 😅

[@ClayCarlino]

Glad it was helpful! I’ve had several pumps over the years and the extra nozzles ALWAYS go missing! Maybe I need a life hack to prevent that! Ha ha! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

[@maryu8328]

This is exactly what I wanted the internet to teach me right now. Thank you!! Also, my guess is the “2 things” t shirt is terminotter

[@ClayCarlino]

Ha ha! Yes! The T-shirt IS “Terminotter”! A friend got it for me when visiting Sea World. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

[@ClayCarlino]

The Terminotter travels through time to ensure the creation of Seanet! ... or maybe "Skywet"?... ugh! those are both terrible. I apologize!

[@journeytojoy3443]

I like your sense of humor

Clean ur pool

[@gia7698]

A straw...maybe?

[@ClayCarlino]

Maybe?.. the only problem I could see with a straw is that they collapse very easily (unless you’re taking about one of those reusable stainless steel ones). The rubber flap inside the air nozzle would likely squeeze a normal drinking straw shut. A tube from a pen on the other hand (or a stainless steel straw!) is rigid and will hold its shape even when the valve flap is pressing against it.
Thanks for the thought! Also, thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

[@fashiontime9145]

Thank you! When I wanted to inflate them, *the nozzles* (the spot under the cap ) were dead sealed sometimes. I have no idea how can I inflate them .. Any recommendation please?

[@CR7.FTBL223]

U saved my life

[@litlbit50]

Awesome

[@tomjoht]

thanks, this trick totally helped me!

[@ClayCarlino]

You're welcome. I'm really glad it helped!

[@yancua66]

Omg he had to chew the pen 😬😧

[@ClayCarlino]

You have no idea! I am BAD for chewing on the ends of pens! No pen is safe in my presence!

[@yancua66]

Hahaha omg 😂 I've search for how to inflate the pool that's why i got to see ur video and u showed me how to chew a pen hahaha 😅

[@ClayCarlino]

,chew the pen and not accidentally swallow the end piece! That's important! Ha ha ha. Thanks so much for watching. I really appreciate it!

[@ClayCarlino]

4:51- DON'T JUDGE ME INTERNET!

[@computerweenie]

I've got to say with thousands of dollars in dental work, you freaked me out.

[@ClayCarlino]

Yeah- I'm not a role model!

[@squidwidly1]

Thank you! This worked really well and saved me from buying a big air compressor.

[@ClayCarlino]

That's great! I'm so glad this video was helpful. I have to admit that when I posted it, I thought it was kind of dumb, but I also figured that If I have this problem someone else probably does too. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

[@rickkilpatrick902]

Awesome stuff - thank you!

[@ClayCarlino]

Thank YOU! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting!

[@ivanbjelica2770]

I came for the hack, stayed for the shiv

[@ClayCarlino]

Everyone loves a good shiv, right?! … I don’t even know what that’s supposed to mean, but I should probably never ever say that again! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

[@TheVideoTalkers]

Thanks! Thinking for plans for this summer!

[@ClayCarlino]

You and me both! This winter stuff is for the birds! Yuk! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!
