Plastic Hair Snake Broke in Tub Drain! #plumbing #plumber #diy #plumbingtime #tips #hack

What happens here

After locating the obstruction, a flexible claw grabber tool is used to attempt retrieval. Insert the claw grabber into the overflow drain, aiming for the broken plastic piece as observed through the camera snake. Activate the claw mechanism to try and grasp the plastic. The video demonstrates an unsuccessful attempt where the claw grapples with the piece but fails to secure it firmly enough for extraction, indicating the need for a more robust method.

Goal: Attempt to grab and remove the broken drain cleaner.

What they say

It will easily go straight into the drain pipe. And here he stands, right in the siphon. We have one of those flexible claw grippers. Oh. I thought I would get it the first time. It just doesn't want to cling. And then my neighbor Tom took his cable, his head is a little smaller.
