Zip It Drain Tool Fail! #plumbing #plumber #diy

What happens here

Once the broken piece is located, take a flexible grabber tool, often called a 'bendy claw grabber', and carefully insert it into the same overflow drain opening. If possible, try to keep the camera snake in place to guide the grabber tool. Manipulate the grabber tool, using the live camera feed for precision, to grasp the broken plastic hair snare. Once the piece is securely clamped by the grabber, slowly and carefully pull it out of the drain, avoiding further damage or dislodging it deeper into the pipe.

Goal: Extract the broken hair snare from the drain.

Hide

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.
