Omg!!!! You just save a thousand pesos!!! I've been searching YT for videos on how to fix mine..i am so glad I found your video. It worked!!!! After just a few tap tue stopper pop up again and it's working perfectly fine again! Thank you so so much! ❣️❣️❣️
OMG you just saved my life and $$$ , i could not open the under sink pipes like other videos said , i had been trying for hours and then 1 minute after watching your video it is fixed ! thank you thank you thank you 😭
Glad I could help! I think this deserves a share?
I hadn’t too much faith on it but it worked! I tapped, tapped, tapped, tapped,… and finally it went out. Thank u so much
Thank you! So glad I tried this simple approach first before dismantling the drain pipes below…
Dude thank you so much! All the videos I was finding had complicated fixes or using dental floss but my was stuck so far down there was no way the dental floss could have helped. And as a renter I don’t want to mess with piping and be responsible for potential damages. Your solution was by far the easiest and quickest. My sink can finally drain thank you so much
Most welcome! Do consider Subscribing for more!
OMG this worked like a charm! Light tapping with the soft grip of a hammer. None of the other UA-cam video suggestions worked for me. Thank you for saving me from having to pay for a plumber to fix this!
Everyone already said it but that tap with the back of a tool saved my day!! Great tip and video, you are a lifesaver ❤
I'm so happy that helped! It's a technique that should be spread far and wide!
Worked wonderfully on our Vigo sink drain! Thank you!!
THANK YOU! This is the only thing that worked for me because my U-pipe / trap cannot be removed without removing my cabinet.
Brilliant!
Thanks mate. Just the advice I needed to replace a jammed sink stopper.
The assembly was jammed solid and an easy replacement, thanks to you.
@@neilbateman7039 awesome! I'm glad I could help!
Absolutely brilliant tip. Wouldn’t ever have considered this and don’t understand how it worked but a light few taps with a plastic end of a knife and job done.
Thank you so much! I just tried 5 minutes ago and it worked. I thought that pushing it from down was gonna work but it didn't, the sink stopper was really stuck. I even tried with sunflower oil jajaja. Now I don't have to call my dad :D. THANK YOU from Chile!
Glad it worked!
my girlfriend had this at her house, tried everything and it didnt work, this is so simple and worked a charm, thank you for youre help.
Most welcome! Just share this video to those who need it
My man... incredible and implausible as it seems this worked on my stuck up bathtub plug. I hope you have the best flipping weekend of your life. God bless!!
You know what! I did thanks!
Thanks a million times, mine was stuck but I used a square hook crotchet carres to remove and removed. God bless 🙏
Can’t believe this worked for me but it did! Thank you so much!
Thank you, Just did it and it worked. Cleaned up the corroded brass, loosened it up and with a bit of grease will put it back.
I’m a women in my 50s tired this because my husband has had a stroke. It worked thank you so much. I kept tapping until it opened up 🙏🏼❤️
We called him and he directed us to this video! A very genuine and helpful person thanks!
Thank you for your kind words of support! Hopefully I can render my services when I'm better!
YOU HAVE SAVED MY LIFE! Five days ago I did something really stupid. I pushed the sink stopper down with too much force and it has been jammed shut since. I tried putting dish soap on it and sticking a knife blade around the edge with NO luck. I decided to try looking online and I watched your video. I used the end of a screwdriver handle. My first taps were to soft and did nothing, so I tapped it harder very rapidly and up it popped! You are a GENIUS!!!
It's a simple hack! And simple fix! Sometimes it's all about knocking something that ain't working!
Tapping it plus moving the lever up and down fixed my problem! Thank you! 🙂 Also, the hole near the bottom of my drain plug was never threaded like it should've properly been done upon installation. But after me trying for 20-30 mins to fix that problem, I ended up not threading it because no matter how I adjusted the plug's height, the plug wasn't high enough to allow for timely water drainage. So, now I see why this wasn't done ten years ago when I bought this home!
Glad it helped!
@@ThePunggolHandyMan And I just re-fixed the same drain using the combo of the video's technique and my aforementioned of moving the lever up and down! But THIS time, I added the step of cleaning the gunk off of the stopper (I'll probably run it through the dish washer) AND where the stopper makes contact around the edge of the drain. Hopefully my additional step will make the overall fix last longer.
To prevent further headache it actually inexpensive to get a new part.. I think a big mac meal costs more. And this lasts years

It's amazing that this is not more common knowledge!

It worked straight away!! Thankyou xx
This works!! Thank you
Excellent bro. Thank you very much!
Amazing!!! Worked like a charm ❤❤❤
Thank you , you saved my life
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏 happy new year
Thank you 👍
You can throw the whole assembly into hot 1:1 vinegar to decalcify. If there's no gasket, boiling it should remove the debris. WD40 is not meant for this, grease, preferably teflon grease is preferred. If it works, it should be bring back a few months or years of life.
What if the mechanism is fine but its still getting stuck , my mechanism is freely working yet it still getting stuck ??
This really worked!
I'm glad it did
Thanks!
Oh wow! Thank you so much! I'm so happy that it has worked for you! 🫶
Thank you !
very simple....
Thanks for the video! I was wondering how to remove the pop up mechanism!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It was slow going with the tapping, but it worked!! Took the whole thing out, cleaned it and put it in a drawer 😂 We don’t use the stopper anyway!
I was in a relative's house and this happened. I was thinking of many ways to apologize and then I looked up this video. Easily the greatest sigh of my life.
Thanks very much you save my evening❤️✨
Thought my stuck plug was hopeless, but your tapping method actually worked. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the video! It was so helpful and I managed to replace the pop up myself! :) keep it up

Amazing this works
It’s worked thanks 🙏 ❤
Thank very much, you video help me
Handyman, you r my saviour 🤩🤩. Can show how to replace bto window handles ?
Check out my video how to remove round screws
Mine is stuck too but It's not one that can be removed like the type in this video. rather it is the oscillating type that's attached to the silver ring ... I can't find any video showing my type :(
My stopper is all the way down. Maybe 1/4” down the drain (I did try to push it few times to fix it and it never went back up) the tapping didn’t work. What else do you recommend?
Thank you so much. I'm in the UK and you just saved me a plumber call 😅
Love your videos, very informative. Happy CNY to you!!
Happy CNY to you too!
You saved my life
Im probably late but tysm u saved me from a $100 fee 😭

Handyman + 007 agent 😆😆😆😆
Hahaha multipurpose person! Who knows what other skills I got!
Thx a Tonn
I tapped and tapped and didnt work. 😢
nice
what the heck that actually worked!! at first I was like no way that works, this guy full of bs 😂😂
Hahahahahah I'm not the whaaatnowaay guy
What do I do if this doesn't work for me ?😢
Superb
I removed by tapping but couldn't remove the unit below to clean and grease properly.
It may be rusted n fused
If it is fused already does that mean i have to change the whole sink?
Na just the drain.. check my channel for the video
What if it's stuck slightly deeper ?😅
THANKS YOU MY PROMBLEM FISNIS
sadly didn't worked on mine. :(
Tapped. Tapped. Tapped. Nothing happened.
Yea then you need to push up from below
Keep tapping it will come.
@@rossitherhodie5659 😂
Same here. Just made a noise and chased away the cat
Same 😂
mio malgrado nn ha funzionato
how about an bathroom unslotted sink drain???
This is an unslotted sink drain
@@ThePunggolHandyMan this is a pop up right?? Mine's flip like a coin
I see . Slotted and unslotted refers to a drain with and without overflow. Pop up/ flip / chain refers to the closing mechanism. But yea
@@ThePunggolHandyMan How do I unstuck my flipping plug, Sir? It became a bowl at this point
@@ThePunggolHandyMan i used a sink pump, dental floss and a thin metal to pry it open. And I pushed down on it, and so far nothing worked
I tried the tapping and it didn’t work. Next.

Dose not work .. completely stuck
Yeah then u have to open up from the bottom n use a long stick to push up
@@ThePunggolHandyMan that's what I've done to fix it.. thanks
It's amaizing thanks you 🎉
It’s still stuck im panicking
it is not working
Hi could you provide me with more details pleasem
bro i love you. so ez and work!!!! subscribe for shure
@@Beforebounty thank you!
thank you for saving my ass
Loool sounds serious
It doesn’t work. You lied!
Nonsense. No need to tap. Just put on a rubber glove and turn anti clockwise to remove the cap…and pray some lubricant. That’s all. Too much crap on you tube.
@@davidnhc I'm afraid if you read the comments, opinions might differ
You talk too much. You could’ve done this video in 1 minute max
It worked! Thanks
Thank you Sir
Thanks!
Thank you soooo much!
Io ho un problema ,non riesco a trovare l 'anello di silicone che circonda il tappo cosa si puo fare?👍🇨🇮
Did not work for me. Completely stuck still
Sorry to hear that you might need to change the sink drain
@@ThePunggolHandyMan it's okay I managed to push it from below
Great job!
@@KevinMcFlyingsorry can you tell me how to push it from below? I had the same problems and I opened below, remove hair and dirt but don’t know how to push it.
@@minhho5101 I removed the bent section of the pipe and blindly pushed up with a screwdriver
Can also use a rubber suck to stick to the plug and lift
Yup that can be tried as well
