DIY bathtub drain removal tool

[MajorLeeGassole]

You gotta make due with what ya got, right? When you're done, the Allen wrenches will be pretty stuck. Just wiggle the wrench and they'll shake loose.

9/16 wrench with 7mm & 8mm Allen wrenches.

I get it but the actual tool is not that pricey.

The tool cost 10 bux at Lowes.....

Lowe's is 30 minutes from my house and these were 30 steps away in my garage. It wasn't a cost thing. More of a convenience thing and I was simply trying to share with everyone.

Why not use the handles on a pair of pliers

They bend at the pivot point. Plus, you might need a larger pair or more leverage. I couldn't even fit a pair of Vice Grips in there. My drain was STUCK after 10 years and took some real effort to get loose. None of the wrenches twist or bend.

Innovative.

Agree with Joe, what is wrong with using pliers handle, never had an issue, works every time.

Glad your way works every time. Did you even read my response to him? Mine was really stuck. REALLY. STUCK.

I like it. Hopefully never have to use it, but quick fix in a jam.

That's using the ol noggin.

I like it too. You work with what you have on hand.

I appreciate you posting, that would save me a trip in the future and $10 for a tool that would only be used once in my life maybe. Thanks
