Universal Tub Drain Tool
The RectorSeal 97258 Golden Extractor removes and installs tub drains using a standard 3/8 in drive ratchet. It works even when cross arms are broken or bolt heads are stripped. The alloy steel construction handles stubborn fasteners that will not move. Professional plumbers and DIY owners use it for bathroom renovations and drain replacements.
Simple Ratchet Installation
Attach the tool to a 3/8 in drive ratchet and engage the drain body. The self-adjusting design grips internal surfaces without cross arms. No special skills are required beyond basic ratchet operation. The main issue occurs if the drain body is severely corroded or collapsed, which can prevent the extractor from gaining sufficient bite.
Verify Drain Compatibility
Confirm the tub drain accepts a 3/8 in drive tool and has enough internal clearance for the extractor body. The overall length is 4 in and overall diameter is 1 3/8 in. Ensure the drain material can withstand extraction torque without cracking. This tool is not for drains requiring specialized proprietary removal keys or oversized commercial fittings.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the Golden Extractor is engaging the tub drain correctly after attaching my 3/8 in drive ratchet?
The tool self-adjusts to grip the drain interior; steady counter-clockwise torque on the ratchet means the extractor is seated and turning the drain out.
What comes with the 97258 and what must I supply?
The heat-tempered alloy-steel extractor body is included; you provide a standard 3/8 in drive ratchet or breaker bar.
Which version of the Golden Extractor fits my 1 3/8 in drain opening?
This single model has a 1 3/8 in overall diameter and is designed for that standard tub drain size.
