Default 6 Speed Drain Tool - cheap

Unable to find one short enough to fit between the drain and the exhaust on a 2012 Rubi I made two - each were less than $3.

The problem is the space between the drain and the pipe - about 1.5"

The shorter stack works best ...

Very nice. I wanted to do this but no access to a welder. Cut down a 17mm Allen wrench but this is even cheaper.

Dremel with cutting disks... Those things cut through anything. I had to cut 27 Master Locks yesterday at work. Took several disks and some time, but Disk Golf Course is now open!
