Default Weighty solution to a problem

Here is a photo of a Saltfork Swage Block being used to assist the installation of a new garbage disposer in our sink.

According to the disposer instructions: "You may wish to place a weighted object in the sink to hold the sink flange in place." Note the use of a towel to prevent scratching of the sink and thus avoiding further instructions.

The swage block worked fine for this application. It held the sink flange in place while I installed the gasket, backup ring, snap ring, etc. from below the sink.
