What happens here

This project provides a step-by-step guide on how to safely retrieve a broken plastic hair snare or drain cleaner that has fallen into a bathtub drain. It involves disassembling the overflow cover, using a camera snake to locate the lodged piece, and then utilizing a flexible grabber tool to extract it without damaging the plumbing.

Oh, I understand. You're here because one of these things broke in your bathtub drain. My neighbor cut open the same one to see how much was in the drain. Take a small Phillips screwdriver. Remove this cover. Do yourself a favor. Close the drain. This is an endoscope camera for my iPhone. It can be adapted to any phone. It simply plugs into the charging port and provides a couple of feet of length. Quite convenient. It will just go straight down the drain. Here is the drain pipe. And there it is, right there, on the other side. Look at this. You can see it right there. If we return it properly. Ideally. And here it is, lying right in the siphon. Good. So, we have this little flexible gripper with claws. We'll drop him there.
