I am happy that you made this video. Sometimes all it takes is to see that someone else did it do have the confidence to muscle through the task. This and your helpful experience with what tool to use helped get this done about 5 minutes after watching your technique. Thank you a million times.

Thank you for being so clear about the time it took to muscle off that drain. Took me about 30 mins, but using your method, it finally came off. Sending much gratitude for sharing your expertise!

Hey Queenii, The cross in our bathtub's drain was rusted out so I was going to buy a spiral type bathtub drain removal tool from Lowes ($20.98). But that required a trip to town taking time and about 2 gallons of gas round trip ($9.20). Total cost about $30.18 plus about 2 hrs of time. ..... After watching your video, I decided to at least try to use my water pump pliers to remove our tub's drain before making the trip. The water pump pliers jammed in the drain nicely and with force, I got the drain to start turning within about a minute. ..... Thanks for the inspiration! Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the video. I had tried everything but the hairdryer trick and that did it in the end. 😄👍

Thank you for the video. This is the first one with a broken cross bar

This was very helpful, it worked, after a 20 minute slow battle and the use of the hairdryer.....no damage to the tub or PVC drain pipe - probably because of the patience recommended.

Great video. Just so that you know, the large pliers with the notches on the side to adjust the size are called "channel locks". Not that it matters, but if you were looking for one, now you know what to ask for. Thanks so much for the idea though!

Queenii shout out to you for taken that drain ring out with out any crazy tools smart women, am a handyman and I got caught taking this job thinking it was going to be easy with out the drain extraction tool, me I was going to use my dremel and a metal cutting wheel, and cut out a piece to use a chisel to know it around counter clocks wise. The reason why the pros are bothering you, you made them look bad, they didn’t think of that and I sure dam well didn’t think of that. Good job sistah.. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Yay! I did it thanks to you! Had to walk away and come back multiple times but thanks to all your tips I got it out! You're the best!

Love the encouragement. Won’t give up. Giving me the confidence to try this one. Love your work,

I just wanted to thank-you profusely for this video. I like you had a broken drain that would not budge. I checked out about a dozen videos with guys showing me how to remove their stuck drains but none of them worked or had your method. You are really and truly a queen in my eyes. May God bless you. Sincerely a relieved Canadian.

Woman with many talents 🐐🐐!! Great job 😊

Great job! Thank you for this very informative video. Looking forward to how your refinish job turns out.

❤ beautiful work we need more people in the world like you thanks a lot 🎉🎉🎉

Nice video! Thanks for showing me that I don't need to go and buy special tools.

To get more leverage, fit the hammer in between the channel lock plier handles and twist. Thanks for sharing!

Queenie you are the virtual woman. Good job😊

Thank you! Very informative! 👍

Thanks again. I'm still trying to remove ours after probably 37 years, but i may just have to buy a tool.

Thanks this is my problem right now and this information will help me a lot!

Thank you so so much ❤😊 this is so helpful! I saw a lot of videos not non look like mine which is damaged and broken like yours❤ this so so helpful 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤❤❤

This worked. A little bit of persistence. Thanks a lot for the video.😅

I have this exact same issue. Thanks for the tip!

Great video! Thank you very much for sharing!

Great video & very helpful. Thanks.

Hi there I have a sister named Queen. You are a woman that can do just about everything. You have a lot of talents.⚘⚘⚘

Excellent video! Thank you very much! Next time get you some WD-40 though girl and make it easier on your hands!

This was very helpful thank you!!!!!!!

Thank you for your video!

Take the old part to the hardware store for match up -- that part is sold with coarse threads or fine threads.

You inspired me. Thank you. I managed to do it. However I used my feet with a plumbers wrench and pushed 😂

It worked,thank you so much.

I’ve been obsessed with your DIY content. The marble countertop is definitely my favorite. Have you had any yellowing with the epoxy or is it still holding up?

That last squeak from your mini sent me 😂

What do you replace with now? Just the same drain. New insert back in?

U did great, thank you.

Thank you so much for making this video!

Queenii the goat!!!

Pliers will work also by placing each gripping part into two opposing holes then use a metal rod or sturdy screwdriver as the leverage bar through the handles. Or, flip channel locks to use handles in holes then use claw on claw hammer, or something, to leverage the arms.

Thank you!

Good job

Thanks!

Good job.

It helped me. Tx

Great Video

Thanks! I'll try this. I'll edit my comment with my results.

I will try your method but my drain it may be more bad because it broken border top of drain i can not remove i dont know do you have any more solution to help me anyway your video also a solution to try

Thats a good idea

Thank you for saving me 26.99 + tax! 😂🙌🏻

Next time i recommend locking pliers on the edge will be faster with hammer

Somehow “professional “ plumbers keep commenting on these types of videos I post to complain to me about getting the “right tool” if you’re a professional why are you on KZfaq?!! Looking for videos to remove drains 🌝 that’s the only way you’d find videos like mine 🤔

Next time turn the channel lock upside down stick the two handles into the hole and then use another pair of channel locks to turn it out also there is a tool for the tail piece at your favorite plumbing supply store just to make it easy

Eso está bien duro no quiere salir 😅tú eres 💪🏽

This makes me pretty worried about removing the 60 year old drain in mine 😂, plumber neighbor said use channel locks and a screw driver.

Queenii, You are my heroine...

Tuff woman. ❤😮

I’ve tried everything Any other suggestiosn

Mine must have been installed with cement cause no matter what it will not budge 😢

❤❤❤❤❤

What you are using is called a "Channel Lock pliers.

You're lucky! Mine would not budge. I had to cut the $%^&U thing out!

backyard mechanic🎉🎉

"Monkey Wrench" and "Flange"

Poor job by previous plumber. Should have used plumbers putty.Not silicone.

Spins, catches nothing.

buy a DRAIN WRENCH ...WHY DO ALL OF THIS ?
