This might be the fatigue of hours of attempting to remove a tub drain without this tool talking, but this product was a life saver. Does exactly what it was designed to do, and still cheaper than hiring a plumber for a small job like this. This product is everything advertised. The arms on the old tub drain rusted out when trying to remove and this was the only recommended tool I saw online that also had great reviews. Would not have been able to complete this project without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Removed my tub drain when other tools failed!
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2021
This took is awesome and well worth the money compared to having to call a plumber. My old tub drain was 20-years old, part of the flange was broken off, the cross pieces were broken and it was completely frozen in place. I bought a Husky knurled tub drain extractor tool at Home Depot but it wouldn't go in deep enough for the knurls to grab. Then I bought the expensive Rigid extractor. It did dig into the sizes but the cam in the center just spun around and did nothing. I thought about cutting the drain out but decided to try this tool instead. Well, third time was the charm! Within 10 minutes after trying this tool my old drain was out. As a few other reviewers have said, I put it deep into the bore and had to angle it a little to get it to grab. Using my standard socket wrench and quite a bit of elbow grease, I was able to slowly get it turning. Once it started moving it was out within minutes! I was fearing the worst after my bad experiences with the other two tools I tried, but this worked perfectly! Don't call the plumber or get the hacksaw out before trying this life (and tub) saver. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beware.. It snapped the fittings apart underneath
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2023
Works great but beware it could break the fitting apart underneath and then you have a bigger problem. I think I would only recommend using one if the fittings are plastic and not old metal like mine.

However the tool is amazing and way better than the one at home depot. Really grips well, so well it can and will tear fittings apart if they are old. Definitely wouldn’t attempt if you have an old drum trap.

1.0 out of 5 stars Made of poor materials
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2019
The tool seems like a good idea but the materials used should be better. The movable gear piece is some kind of pot metal First use and it broke into pieces. The extension where you attach the rachet is too far from the rest of the tool. When trying to remove a stuck drain and you apply more force the torque causes the tool to lean. The force is then going the wrong direction and causes the tool to break. A shorter extension on the tool would help to keep the force closer to the main body of the tool so it should work better.

I was also surprised that is is only a 3/8" drive. Should be 1/2" for something you need to use this much force with.

The teeth on the gear don't get a good grip on the drain. My drain had corrosion and gunk (like most do that will have a need for this type of tool) that caused the tool to not sit flat which allowed it to slip. If you are to the point that you need a tool like this you don't care if it chews up the drain as long as it gets removed so the teeth need to be more aggressive.
