Sink stopper stuck  

Now to buy a magnet at midnight

Such a simple solution I would have never thought of. Worked like a charm, thank you!

I had the thought to use a magnet before I saw this. The magnet on my tape measure gave me some encouragement. I got a 65 pound pull magnet and it took a few tries but it worked. You might need to turn the magnet or shimmy a bit back and forth to break the seal instead of just attaching and pulling straight up. The gunk on the underside made quite a strong seal but the magnet and I won in the end. I still need to do some plumbing work on the underside of the sink to get the stopper to catch again, but that is a project for another day

Thank you SOOO much for this tip... It saved me a lot of money..😊

Can also use a rubber suction cup to suck and lift the stopper

I pushed the drain by accident and my dad was gonna come home soon, so I was rushing. I cried, then thought of something. I searched it up, found this yt short and once I did it. I was like r u kidding me. 😐😐

Thank you so very much! That’s a life saver!

You ROCK!! Thanks so much!!

It was too easy 😂 thank you!

Really works, tried it!! Thank you!

Since everything is made so cheap now and that stopper is made out of plastic, you could have a magnet the size of whatever you want it's not going to help you. Use your smallest flat head screwdriver and put a little piece of tape on the flat blade so it won't scratch and you should be able to pry that out.

😅😊 Thank you so much. I have been trying to remove the stopper for 2 days. Used a "B&O" railroad magnet 🧲 and the stopper came out immediately! Thanks

Also here to say this worked for me. My magnet was not strong enough so I had to use both sides to repel each other. Sounds crazy but it got settled in front of my own eyes like ✨ MAGIC ✨

Thank-you!!! It worked!!

omfg this worked. I feel like an idiot now. nothing else worked but this.

THANK YOU SAVED ME

This worked. Thank you for sharing.

great tip thank you.

Very helpful

Thanks for this and the comments here. I tried the magnets in my apt, but they were either too small and didnt work with sink curve. Couldnt pick it up. Didnt have suction cups😔 But i tried making a little tape ring Put it on the top,pulled by the ring and got it out For me the ball thing u said, wasnt rottted, i just put the drain in too early b4 i put rest of sink back 2gether. Thank u 4 this video tip Wasnt quite what i was able to do, but u dis set up space for me to find something that worked 4 me❤😅😊

Can also use a rubber suction cup to lict the stopper

Nope , go through the P-trap , took us 30 seconds just now lol , this may also work but it seemed more complicated

Great! It worked!🙌🏽

Thank you xd

thank you I will try this

Where do you get this big magnet from ?

Thanks

Thank you so much

Thank you

What if you don't have a magnet and guests are coming over 😢

Thank you!!!!

The little suction cup arrows work if you dont have a magnet

Thanks bro I used magnets and it came out on the first try working I use the plunger method

Sweet!

That was my first thought. So I bought a magnet. But it appears that the stopper is not magnetic. Not sure if anyone has any other ideas.

Now i have to find a magnet

Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Are you kiddin' me? That's 60 seconds I'll never get back.

what.. same thing happened but i dont know what to do next

شكرا لك لقد أنقذتني

You can also use some strong tape (masking tape for example). Cut enough length that you have tape either side to pull with. Stick it to the top of the stopper, pull up and out.

I just use a utility knife 🤷‍♂️ works every time

What about if its stuck real hard

Dint work for me , the magnet is not attracting it

😮

the dumbest solution

My sink does not work with magnet

THANK YOU- I WAS IN SUCH A PANIC. Tried once with a little fridge magnet and worked like a charm!

Yeah 😂

I like to fill the sink a bit and use a tiny plunger 🪠

Been there, done that...
