Re: [BlindHandyMan] Sink trap
Hi Robert, There is probably a specific tool for the job but all I have ever used is a vice grip or even a bar held between those little pegs to remove the plug. Keep a bucket under the trap you will likely get about a cup of disgusting effluent come out of there. There should be a little rubber washer, try not to lose it, it makes a difference. Hope this helps.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Sink trap
Robert, you can remove the plug in the sink trap by turning it counter clockwise with channel locks or an adjustable wrench. Have a can or a cup ready when you take out the plug to catch the water in the trap.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Sink trap
Well in that case I have never seen such. The only ones I am familiar with have either two sort of ears which stick down from the bottom of the threaded plug like device or lugs which face into the center of a sort of hole molded up into the center of the plug. Sorry! You can still probably grab the outer diameter of the thing assuming it is in other ways the same as I am used to with a pair of vise-grip or other channel lock pliers. There are, as someone else mentioned here the sort which can be unthreaded with a nut from the end of the elbow that faces down toward the trap at it's exit. The entry also has a thread which slides onto the tail from the sink. In this way you can remove the entire trap for cleaning or replacement or just to remove the plug from the convenience of a work bench I suppose. .
