Dustpan-As-Funnel Is How MacGyver Would Fill A Bucket


Filling up a bucket of water is awkward and frustrating when it doesn’t fit in your sink. Redditor mrfitzy shows us a genius way to fill it up hassle-free. All you need is a dustpan.

Just put the dustpan in the sink, handle facing outwards, and let the water flow into the handle (like a funnel) and out of the sink, into your bucket. This will work a bit differently for everyone depending on the size of your sink and dustpan, but with a few modifications, we were able to make it work using Dachis’ abnormally large sink (and tiny dustpan).

If you’re really lucky, you’ll get something like the image above — where the dustpan fits perfectly in the sink and you can let it sit while it fills up. If not, though, you can do what we do in the above video, and hold it while the bucket fills to the brim. Hit the link to read more.
