Even a Beginner Can Rescue a Diamond Ring from a P-Trap!
| | |
It's bound to happen! Someone drops a ring, erring or other valuable item into the kitchen or bathroom sink drain. Or, perhaps the drain is just clogged. There's an easy solution, especially with our new self-adjusting, one-handed groove joint pliers. Simply turn off the water supply valves under the sink, get a small bucket and rag to catch any water, reach under the sink and unscrew the two rings holding the P-trap. Pull the trap out and empty the insides - there's your ring! Reverse the process and you're done.
