Shop Vac, enough said:c:

If anything they are easy to remove. Plug the sink, fill it all the way with water, pull the plug and turn on the disposal. The glass won't hurt The blades. May make a lot of noise though.
I have done a lot of work on disposals, commercial and residential, and I have seen worse go down. Bolts, nuts, bones, silverware, string, cups - both glass and plastic, etc. Worse that happens is the disposal gets stuck and you break it free with a special tool or my favorite the crow bar. the cost of a plumber or the cost of a disposal? Disposals are getting cheap, plumber on the other hand... |
So how thick a hunk of glass are we talking about?
Like a piece of broken wine glass? Or the solid handle from a beer mug? Hand, shop vac, or just turn it on. |
it wasn't glass, it was a friggan penny.... the way my fiance was talking, it sounded like it was mission impossible. me being ignorant and never having a garbage disposal. i didn't know..... so i just looked a minute ago i reached in with some salad tongs and pulled it...
i'm a rocket scientist...:tu: |
Dang!!! I was going to say the super duper turd wrastler 9,000 AKA A BIG FREAKIN TOILET PLUNGER!!! Like this one. I used one after a bunch of fried chicken, nuts, and apple juice.
