Um... so do you have a video on how to fix it if the drain snaps off similar to what happened in this video?

I just removed the most stubburn 1-3/8 drain. Tried a couple tools and methods. Finally got it with a Blow torch for about 20 seconds, then turned it with that 1-1/2” extraction tool and a breaker bar.

@ThatFixItGuy 2 жыл бұрын

Right on. That is awesome. I will add heat next time ones stuck. I just bought a new tool to review that looks like it could be the best on the market. A review will be coming soon.

@@ThatFixItGuy Yesterday I tried that new 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 extraction tool by Superior, and it did not work for me at all. It wasn’t even close to working in my situation. When using a blow torch make sure nothing is plastic that could melt. I’m assuming the heat makes the metal softer so the teeth can bite better. I’m going to try this method on another 1-3/8 drain soon. I will let you know how it works.

I have had mixed reviews on this tool. It has always worked for me, but I have only had to use it a handful of times. Did you get it to work?

If the crosspieces are still good needle nose pliers works good to remove and replace the drain cap .

@ThatFixItGuy 2 жыл бұрын

So true. I am about to test a new product soon. That looks like it will be the best tub drain remover ever.

@ThatFixItGuy 2 жыл бұрын

Yes you should be able to use the dumbbell wrench to remove it.

@saltspringrailway3683 3 жыл бұрын

Heating it for a couple of minutes with a hair dryer or heat gun to soften the seal makes extraction much easier apparently.

@ThatFixItGuy 3 жыл бұрын

I always forget about the heat gun, but you are right it may have helped. Thank you for your comment.

@jasonzupke1474 2 жыл бұрын

I clarify that. I used a blow torch for like 20 seconds and it softened the metal for a better bite.

I got it at Home Depot. I also put a link in the description box for one. You could also try a dumbbell if the cross is still in the tub drain.

It should be noted that, much to my surprise, a standard socket wrench alone probably won't fit the drain extractor. So, if you are like me and have various screwdrivers, pliers and mid-size wrenches, but not a large assortment of tools, you may not have what is necessary.

@jeffflowers729 8 ай бұрын

I watched your other video about "easy" drain removal. My cross members disintegrated. I was about to comment and then saw this video in the sidebar. I'm afraid of it being stuck and twisting whatever pipe fixture its screwed into underneath. It's a mobile home with little to no access underneath without removing the vapor barrier and insulation if something breaks like it did on you :(

@gcos325 3 жыл бұрын

The Tub Drain Extractor tool does not work. It's teeth did not bite and it slipped every time. The brass coloured coating even flaked off. A waste of time and money. The metal teeth in the extractor tool need to be harder than the tub drain it needs to cut into.

@ThatFixItGuy 3 жыл бұрын

Did you tap the extractor down in the drain? Sometimes it needs a little help getting down in there. How did you end up getting it out?

@tommyowen529 3 жыл бұрын

I agree. Bought one today, the teeth won’t grab, at all. I started with light hammer whacks then full on angry whacks, still wouldn’t grab. Gonna try some friction tape but I doubt it works.

I broke it loose with a blow torch first, then the 1-1/2 “ extractor started turning it.

Suck to see that this did not work for so many people. I saw a new tool the other day and bought it. Way different and looks like it will get any drain out.
