How to Remove a Broken Zip-It Drain Cleaner from a Tub Drain

What happens here

Once the broken plastic drain snake is located using the camera snake, attempt to retrieve it with a claw grabber. Carefully insert the claw grabber into the overflow drain, guiding it with the live camera feed. Position the claw to grasp the broken piece and attempt to pull it out. The video shows this method proving difficult due to the grabber's inability to securely hold the slick plastic, leading to multiple failed attempts.

Goal: Retrieve the broken drain snake using a claw grabber.
