There are several sizes, and they run about $30 (or much less from Harbor Freight). I abused one of these trying to get a stuck tub drain out (the flange had ripped out in the process of trying to remove it). I'm sure it would've worked if I had tried it FIRST. Had to Dremel the sucker out. If you need something like this, but for bigger pipes, then head to your local auto parts store and get a exhaust pipe expander.

It saved me from havnng to tear out some drywall to remove a broken pipe. It also saved me a lot of time, money and cussing. Even if I never use it again, it was well worth the ten dollars I spent on it. The only thing better than being able to go get one of these when I needed it, would have been to already have it in my plumbing tool box when I started the job.
