How can I unscrew and remove this from my tub drain? It won’t loosen when turning by hand or flat head screwdriver. It cracked when I tried a wrench

      It’s amazing how often that’s the solution.

      Once upon a time well before I was born my dad was a pipefitter, he still had most of his tools and so growing up we were sort of the first-line troubleshooters for everyone in my family when they had a plumbing issue. He had a pretty impressive collection of absurdly-large screwdrivers that you’d look at and go “when the hell would you ever need this?”

      Until you came across a giant screw like this, or you had the tank off a toilet and needed a 2ft long screwdriver to reach the tank bolts properly.
