Retrieve Blockage with Improvised Hook and Pliers

What happens here

Take an old bucket handle, which is typically a strong, bent metal wire, and carefully insert it into the drain. Using the pick tool or by feel, maneuver the bucket handle to hook onto the broken plastic drain snake piece. Once the piece is hooked and brought closer to the drain opening where it is visible, use needle-nose pliers to firmly grasp the plastic piece. Carefully pull the pliers, along with the hooked plastic piece, out of the drain until the blockage is completely removed.

Goal: An old bucket handle (a piece of bent wire) is repurposed as a hook to snag the plastic piece, which is then pulled out using needle-nose pliers.
