@GonzifyYourself Thank you very much.

I tried this method in my tub, however beneath the little screen that you remove, there is a crosshair about 1 inch down that makes it very difficult to maneuver the wire hook around or even pull up big clumps of gunk. Any tips for this?

[DominickDiy]

@AztecWarrior4U No not really, just to try try and try again. Otherwise you'll have to remove the trap and that could be a big pain in the rear.

You the awesome man ever Thank you so much

A guitar string works great for this, specifically a fatter one like a 5th or 6th string. They are flexible yet springy so they go around bends well and spring back. Bend the tip into a very short hook shape

@AztecWarrior4U make sure your hook is small enough, I had that problem too (though I used a coat hanger).

I have a bottle cap stuck in mine and now it won't drain at all. I let my cat play with the cap and she ran to the tub and dropped it down the drain!

I just want to say thank you! I live in an apartment and didn't want to risk damaging the piping (and then being charged for it) by using chemicals to unclog the drain. I watched your video and your method worked perfectly; I was able to remove the clog completely! So, thank you!
