Abstract
A garbage disposal unjamming device having a vertical shaft , a horizontal handle at one end of the shaft, and at the other end of the shaft, a straight horizontal toolbar . The toolbar is slidably secured to the shaft through a transverse passage in the shaft. The toolbar's ends are slightly flared to prevent it from slipping out. When the toolbar is moved entirely to one side of the shaft so that one flared end is adjacent to the shaft, the toolbar can be angled into or out of the narrow sink opening of the disposal unit. Inside the unit, the toolbar is tapped to center it on the shaft. In this position it can engage the two opposing cutters on the rotor plate to rotate the plate and unjam the disposal unit.
