By chance, did you mean this wrench BOB..?
The pic. Is a
ridgid #342 internal wrench that removes strainers and nipples up to 2".
without need for crossmembers.
I think this should do the job if drain only ten years old.
For years I used to make a dent and then use a cold chisel to remove these... chipped a couple, too! Anyway, once I discovered this tool... I have never had many problems with tub shoe removal.
Otherwise... I love all the ideas. Each one works in its own way. What makes this place so cool really!
Anyway...for the poster... click on this link to review more info. On this tool:

You can only find these online or at a local plumbing supply house... and most likely will still need to order it in... ;)
But almost never fails! Let me know what you think... MARK
