Abstract
The present invention provides a disposal snap ring installation tool that enables a consumer to easily install a disposal snap ring. The disposal snap ring installation tool includes a body and a handle. The body includes a base and an arm. At least a portion of the handle extends angularly downwardly and outwardly relative to the outer wall of the base. The base is operable to be inserted into a circumferential gap in a disposal snap ring. The arm is operable to receive an end of the disposal snap ring such that one end of the disposal snap ring abuts one of the first end wall and the second end wall of the base. The base is operable to be removed from the circumferential gap in the disposal snap ring by pulling the handle radially outwardly in a plane of the disposal snap ring.
