Cash-acme 45089 Tub Spud Dumbbell Wrench Drain Tool

Product Description

The CASH-ACME 45089 is a tub spud and dumbbell wrench designed for removing and installing bathtub drain assemblies, including waste and overflow fittings. This specialty tool provides the grip and torque needed to break loose stubborn tub drain crossbars and spud fittings without damaging the surrounding drain body or tub surface. It is a standard service tool for plumbers and drain installers working on residential bathroom plumbing. The 45089 fits into the drain opening and engages the crossbar or spud for controlled removal and reinstallation.

This wrench is used during bathtub drain replacement, tub waste-and-overflow kit installations, and drain restoration work in residential settings. It is particularly useful when working on cast-iron or plastic tub drain assemblies where a standard screwdriver or improvised tool would slip or cause damage. Plumbers completing rough-in or finish plumbing work on standard bathtubs will find this tool appropriate for the task.
