ABSTRACT:
A drain plug removing device includes a rotatable socket for engaging and selectively holding a head of a drain plug. One end of a flexible line is connected to the rotatable socket, and the other end of the line is secured to a support to prevent the socket and drain plug from falling further than the length of the line if dropped and to support the line and the socket holding the drain plug. A method for removing a threaded drain plug from a collection pan includes the steps of engaging a rotatable socket with a head of a drain plug, the socket having a line connected thereto, securing an end of the line opposite the socket to a support, and rotating the socket to remove the drain plug.
