Mill-Rose Razorback Drain Wrench (73055)

The Mill-Rose Razorback Drain Wrench (73055) is a professional-grade basket strainer and drain removal tool engineered to remove corroded, over-cemented, or seized sink drains, basket strainers, and tub drains quickly and cleanly — without damaging the surrounding fixture or finished surface. Where standard drain removal tools slip, strip, or require awkward two-handed positioning, the Razorback's aggressive grip design bites into the drain body and transfers torque efficiently, even on drains that have been in service for years.

Manufactured by Mill-Rose, a name with over a century of professional-grade plumbing tool and brush manufacturing behind it, the 73055 is built to the durability standard that service plumbers and remodeling contractors expect from a tool that gets used job after job. This is not a homeowner drain key — it is a purpose-built professional tool designed for repetitive commercial service work, fixture replacement, and remodel rough-out where fast, reliable drain removal directly impacts labor efficiency.

The Razorback design addresses one of the most common frustrations in fixture service work: the stripped or corroded drain that no standard basket wrench will grip. Rather than relying solely on friction or pin engagement, the Razorback's geometry is optimized to increase grip under torque load — meaning the harder you turn, the more securely it engages the drain body.

Applications & Use Cases

The Mill-Rose Razorback 73055 belongs in the service bag of any plumber or remodeling contractor who regularly encounters drain removal:

• Kitchen Sink Basket Strainer Replacement — The most common application; removes corroded or heavily caulked basket strainer bodies during sink replacements, countertop remodels, and fixture upgrades without marring the sink bowl.
• Bathroom Sink & Lavatory Drain Removal — Fast, controlled removal of lavatory pop-up drain bodies during faucet replacements, vanity swaps, and bathroom remodels where the drain and P-trap assembly must be cleared before the fixture can be pulled.
• Bathtub Drain Extraction — Engages tub drain crossbars and drain bodies that standard tub drain wrenches cannot grip due to corrosion, paint buildup, or caulk intrusion around the drain flange.
• Commercial Fixture Service — Ideal for multi-unit residential, hotel, and commercial restroom service work where speed of drain removal across multiple identical fixtures directly impacts labor cost per unit.
• Remodeling & Renovation Contractors — Demolition-phase drain removal on existing fixtures where drains may be decades old, corroded, and unresponsive to standard removal tools.
• Plumbing Service & Repair Calls — A reliable go-to when the standard basket wrench is already in the drain and spinning — the Razorback's aggressive grip geometry recovers situations that would otherwise require fixture damage or cutting.
