It's easier to split an atom compared to taking apart 2 1x2 LEGO plates. 🤣😂
Lol
you stole my thoughts
Which is what I was hoping we’d get shown 😢 throwing the whole home alone set away
so true
1x2 are the easiest. I'll make a quick reel on Instagram to show it.
These brick separators are SOoooooOoOooo much better than those old gray or green ones from when I was doing LEGO MOCs with my kids a couple of decades ago!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. i've been struggling for 10 minutes trying to separate 2 pieces like this on my 80008 set and the moment i set it down on a larger piece and used the separator it almost instantly came open enough for me to split them
I get it about not damaging the Lego brick, but also it's important not to damage your teeth.
Yes very true
personally I take 2 brick separators, I put one on top and one below and the clamp 2. it creates a small separation and there is more than to separate with the fingers
Oh man...I've had one of these things laying around not knowing what it was for i don't even KNOW how long, just popped up one day and every time I saw it I thought it was some weird piece of a lego set that I forgot about.
For years, I've had flat lego pieces put together with other flats that I thought would be stuck together forever, ones that I really needed many times, ones that I tried real hard to pry off with the infamous Teeth Method....this thing was the answer all along!! Thanks a lot for showing how this thing works, it will be a savior many times now!
Worked right away. Thanks!
It actually worked!!! I have been trying to separate these two plates for like a half hour!!!!
Good advice. 👍
A nice demonstration, thank you. My thumbnails still hurt when I think back how I did this every day without separators when I was a kid. I believe I tried it with a screwdriver once or twice; very dangerous. I got into the habit of leaving them stuck together when sorting. I don't know when the first separators came but I first saw them after my Dark Age. Now I have about a hundred of them from various sets. Love the teal ones.
I think we have memories like that.
Thank you so much!!!!
I find 2 element seperators used in unison works well if you don't have a bigger plate handy.
Thats a good tip never tried that
I do this as well. One on top, on on bottom and squeeze them together.
I was going to post about that - I used to call it like using 2 separators like a scissor. Not to mention it's easier to have multiple separators handy (I have quite a "collection" here) than bigger plates.
That’s what I do I find that 2 brick separators one on top one on bottom usually gets the job done.
The best spot to squeeze the 2 seperators is right near the plates like 0:58 👍
worked like a charm!
This video was super useful thank you bro i will sub
i was wondering what that thing was! now i know its a brick separator. thank you so much cuz i built a whole layer one block off
THANK YOU!! it did work!! even the small legos did!! thank you i subscribed you!
OMG THIS WORKS, THANK YOU SO MUCH
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Oh my goodness! Thanks for this video. You just saved my sanity & a 4 yr old from melting down. LOL
Daryl , I gotta say out of the all the you tube channels I and subscribe to and or follow , you are by far the most real and down to earth Person.
Thanks I appreciate that :)
Awesome! Thanks for this tip!
Your welcome.
THANK YOU!
Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
nice video bevin but I noticed sometimes it doesnt always but this is a great method to separate lego
Thank you for this tutorial! Now i can finally finish my simba Lego 😂
Thank u g, that js saved my life
You are a lifesaver!!!!!!!!
You're a life saver!
😁
Safety consolation!
Thanks for the tip 🙂
Oh wow. My grandsons beginners kit didn’t have this separator tool. It looks fab. I must now source one
They typically come in medium to larger sets. But yes you can also buy them from lego for around 1.50 each I believe.
@@BevinsBricksWorld i managed to get a pack of 2. They’re so easy to use and saved my fingernails. Grandson is loving his lego.
Yesss! Incase u don’t have a separator I found a knife useful! Just be careful, have an adult do it for you if you’re not one, and make sure to get the knife in between the legos to not cause any damage to the Lego piece itself!
Great video!
I got a brxlz set for Christmas a while ago, I was recently assembling it and had a problem like this, could you make a video explaining how to fix that if you could
I love you man. Thank you very much
😆
Thank you very very much.
thaaanks!!! almost break it on my first try without the separator
Those seperators are lige savers
Thank you for this video. I didn’t know that that’s what that orange piece was for. 🤯
I have smaller pieces. I'm trying to build this bear. These pieces don't fit all the way. Is there a easier way to connect them?
You can also pry that back handle edge between the seam and sort of PRY them apart.
Works best that way on tiles with the recessed edge
sometimes the 2 plates will come up at the same time off of the bigger plate. in that situation i put a brick behind the stuck plates. the brick forces the plates to stay in position
btw i have literally 40 orange seperators. i saw a cool roof using them. i think it was a bus stop platform.
I keep meaning to make a video of nothing but unique uses for Brick separators as I have seen people using them in mini creatives ways.
I tried that too. Still doesn't work. They are still coming up at the same time
.....why does he make it look so easy?
Muito obrigada pelo seu vídeo. Me salvou muito ❤️
Thank you you beautiful person you!!!!! ❤ you saved my finger nails!
Also my sanity. THANK YOU!!!!
I use 2 brick separators. Offset from each other, with one on top & the other on bottom.
You gotta use the wedge part and try to pry it on the corner of the bricks. It's still a pain in the butt . But that's the only way your gonna get it. Unless you got good teeth.
saved my life
You can also use two brick seperators!
Back to the caveman way! I'll just use my gold teeth!
Wow 😳🔥
😂😂😂 omg! i haven’t build a lego. my kid have a minecraft set that he built and i disassembled. then the challenge begin….. couldn’t remove the itsy bitsy tiny thingie and use my teeth….. hahaha i broke the thing and gave up. I’m watching this and i’m laughing my butt off. I need this tool. I’m about to throw the whole set in the garbage 😂
Nice tip!
Thanks.
i love how i knew i had one of these and thought i was supposed to use the THIN edge on the other side…. this whole time ive been so wrong
I had a stack of 6x8 plates from a recent Pick-A-Brick haul and Brick Separators wouldn't touch them. Uh oh...
Found a great tip online (perhaps already below), dental floss to pull up on the corners and then I could wedge the Brick Separator in to do the perimeter and pop off a plate.
Never seen that trick before, I use the tip of the seperator to pop large plates. Show how to do it on Instagram.
Works
exercise Your fingers, make them strong, You will separate all bricks without nails or anything, just with strength in Your fingers
OMG YOU SAVE MY 30 MINUTES
thank u
Your welcome
Woohoo I have like a hundred of those tools lol
my hero
My sons didn't come with this, so now I have to find another way, lol.
Usually come with larger sets but you can also buy them at any Lego store and online:)
Mantap, meskipun saya tidak memiliki alat yang sama, tapi metode pelepasan nya kami pahami, terimakasih. Salam dari Takalar, Indonesia
just attach the inseperable to a lego tower and attach a horizontal lego brick on top
I have 6 6x6 bricks stuck together 💀
(Update: I got two out 🎉)
(Update 2: Got another 2 out🎉)
(The Final Update: I did it !!🎉🎉🎉🎉)
I thought that orange was from some knock off version of lego always wondered what to do with it
Does it work for green 2x3 plates aswell?
Yes
Its mot working, I have those really small ones and it just won't separate at all. When I put a bigger plate below it it just spearates with the bigger plate while the 2 is still intact.
Its all about applied preasure
ive never used my teeth to separate legos. uve always used my thumb nails.
is this a nailbiter problem? as in if you bite your nails you use your teeth instead?
I use my nails as well, but typically kids use there teeth which is why used lego from kids usually has teeth marks 😀
What is that pole on the brick separator used for?
The Post is to knock Pins or technic connectors out if the hole.
Pent up is correct
Thanks my hand isn't getting swollen anymore!
😁
I still forget we have brick separators now.
I always have a bunch on my build table for that very reason.
what about curved lego pieces?
Put one brick on each side to get a better grip.
Getting the plate off the brick is easier than off each other.
Absolutely
It have broke the brick with the tool b4. But it was a brown smooth brick! Lol
Yeah brown parts had a 2 year bad batch run
I just dont like how the flat part of the brick separator gets not flat and all bent and curvy then you cant use it
Yeah they tend to warp from excessive use.
This doesn't now I have to throw my 4x4 stack of lego
The first graders and kindergarteners would use their teeth to take put lego at my school
Most do :)
"Lego separators, they come in every lego set nowadays"... no true
What if it’s smaller? Like Say, two 1x2 plates stuck together?
Works just the same
Don't know in what world You live in, but I have never gotten any separators in any of the sets I got for my kid in the last 6 months. Didn't even know there is such a separator
Well you only get them with larger sets. So stop being cheap 😀
I just hope I have long enough nails and pry the pieces apart like that
I have no idea where my orange and green brick separators went
I can see them on the shelf in front of me ;-)
That could end up being a painful method.
lol you know what i do , i always use my teeth
Don't use your teeth Aleks you will damage your Lego.
DUDE I DONT HAVE ANY BRICK SEPERATOR
You get them with large sets
Doesn't work for me!!!!! I tried it the same exact way and it just took the two stuck plates off the base plate. There still stuck together!!!
you saved my life from my son's eternal consternation. you're a hero
😁
How about 1x1 brick ?
I acidently put 1x1 brick on top another 1x1 brick.
It still stuck 😭
I DON'T HAVE A BRICK SEPARATOR
Bruh what's the point of heating this
the bigger ones are easy… what I need is 2x1.
Those are still easy with this tool
@@BevinsBricksWorld I did it in the end. Sorry for getting all mad. I was in the throws of Lego. Great channel. x
You were not mad at all 😀 trust me if you read half the comments that I've had people say to me over the years you would probably be shocked and thanks so much :)
I typically delete the people that get out of hand. As I try to keep my channel and comments family friendly.
Now, where is the tutorial for separate technic pins?
Do the sell the brick separator anywhere?
Yes many places lego, bricklink, ebay heres a link for amazon also
amzn.to/3AclRdZ
More and more sets have them and advertise it on the box. I'm drowning in them. I don't have to search for them any more. Every surface in my house has one or two.
@@BevinsBricksWorld bought one off lego since I forgot to pick one up in store today. Also order some spare parts from lego
Lol that is the case I think for most lego builders
What about something that is literally a 10 x 10 and I can’t even remove it with two of the tools
Usê 4 tools 2 on each side. Its a process though
What if you have a bunch of 4x4 plates
Use the wedge part of the seperator in the corner of the plates.
@@BevinsBricksWorld wont that cause some damage to the corners of the plates?
Ive never had an issue doing this.
TERIMAKASIH TUTORNYA
PACAR SAYA JADI SALTING
I would use my nails XD my naruto lego statue didnt come with a brick seperator
I do the same thing and that's why I usually have long Coke Nails LOL
Wait, you aren't supposed to bite Lego? Crap, I have been doing it wrong all this time!!!
Lmao
First time my dad saw my daughter and I using one of these the look on his face was priceless. You mean you don't have to use your teeth anymore? Nope. Pretty sure he had flashbacks to my brother choking on some Lego when we were younger. Lol
Lmao, yeah I can see that as when I was a kid there was no such thing as separators. I just always used my fingure nails or teeth myself.
I DON'T HAVE A LEGO SEPARATOR
I try to open up 2 plates and after I suceed my hands hurt like HELL.
Lol yeah they can be a bear
ive gotten three sets and never got one of these tools
They typically are in larger sets
HOW?!?
Didn’t get one :(
