“Hi, I'm located here in my area and I was just watching a video on VideoProven called ‘How to fix a unclog a garbage disposal’. I see that it's rated as a Easy repair and requires a Allen Wrench (1/4 inch) and a Flashlight, which I don't have on hand. I'm a bit stuck on the step at the 03:10 mark. Can you send someone over to help me finish this up?”
