What happens here

This video demonstrates how to remove a broken piece of a plastic drain snake that is lodged deep within a bathtub drain. It shows several attempts with different tools, including a flexible grabber, paper towels, and a pick, before successfully retrieving the blockage using an improvised hook (an old bucket handle) and needle-nose pliers.

When one of these breaks off in the drain, you end up removing one of these. At least my friend did. I can feel it, but I can't get anything else down there. We're gonna grab one of these little old-school pinchers of power here, see if we can pull that out. So this part of the pincher is not flexible, and it didn't work. Man, I'm trying like a thousand things. Some paper towel, tightly wound enough to get down in here. We got a little pick here. Let's try that. I've got it to where I can see it. Oh yeah, and now we're just gonna grab some needle nose and pull that bad boy out. Man, dude. Yeah. Look at that. Things, that sucked. Now we get to put it all back together.
