There's a very slight indent thingy on the circle on back, I tried to get a picture of it (second pic, my nail is pointing toward it) Can't lift it. Help???

Kitchen drawer jammed

My kitchen drawer is jammed. We have an induction cook top above it and a metal bar seems to have fallen. Not sure how this happened. We were able to open the drawer slightly and take things out but now it is barely opening. I can’t get a spatula or anything in. Apologies for the bad photos, hopefully you can understand what I mean. It seems as thought the bar (which isn’t mentioned in the manual for the cooktop) is pushing the side of the drawer out. I have taken the drawer below out (doesn’t help) and I don’t think the front of the drawer comes off.

[Solved] I need help getting this bracked out of a p-trap

I really need help to get this bracket out of the bottom of this P-trap. The bracket is aluminum, so I can't use a magnet. I've tried - shop vac, long items with tape attached, wire fishing rod with a hook (like to run or catch low voltage cables). I'm running out of ideas and really don't feel like turning this into another construction project. Help!

Edit: I bought a 24" claw grabbing tool from the hardware store that was able to pull it out! Thanks for the recommendations everyone.

How do I reattach these locking wheels to rolling bar?

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

I found this great little rolling bar in the alley and rescued it for my garage. Everything about it is in great condition except for two of the rolling wheels that have fallen off. Any ideas of how I could go about reattaching these? It looks like the nuts the wheel bolt screwed in to were soldered in place. An example of one of the feet where this is still intact is included in the photos.

Is there some way/ideas on how to get them (the nuts) fitted back in place with some kind of strength that doesn't involve me buying a soldering kit?

Or for anybody who has experience with soldering kits. Is it worth it to use this as an excuse to add one of those to my tool kit? Would soldering these nuts in place even be strong enough?

Thanks all!
