ABSTRACT:
A tool for retrieving bathtub drain internal stoppers or plungers, generally known as "buckets", that slide along a tube to open and close the drain. The tool has a handle on one end, a tool head on the other end for engaging a crossbar on the drain bucket and a series of links in between, all connected by universal joints. The head has a hook-like assembly that is slid into a pipe until the head engages the bucket crossbar. The handle is used to alternately rotate the assembly clockwise and counter clockwise to loosen the bucket, then the hook connects to the crossbar to pull the bucket from the pipe.
