DrainShroom Drain Snake, Tub and Sink Auger, Clog Remover

I've been in construction for years. I've installed %26 cleaned a lot of drain piping... I rate this DrainShroom Snake 5 stars, because its narrow enough (.22 inch) %26 just long enough (30 to 37 inches depending on the size of the drain strainer opening because there is bulb of cable near the handle,, one could drill a hole in the strainer to feed the Snake through) %26 FLEXABLE enough to get down most narrow sink %26 bath drains and extend to the (2 inch) main wall drain... BUT you have to know how to use it... You must have a VARIABLE speed drill %26 you must tighten it to the hex end of the Shroom Snake VERY tight... With one CLOTH GLOVED hand feeding the Snake %26 the other hand triggering the drill, press gently %26 wiggle the Snake down the drain while letting it spin in your gloved hand, you MUST spin the drill clockwise VERY slowly, %26 MOST IMPORTANTLY you need to keep the Snake cable VERY taught between your feed hand %26 the drill ( or the Snake will twist on itself %26 kink, which, can be unkinked ). Be careful if you have a clean out opening at the bottom of your P-trap because the Snake can snag on it... By the way keep warm water running for lubrication while your doing it... As soon as you feel the Snake stops turning or is blocked from going into the drain further PULL the Snake out to see if you have some hair or gunk... Repeat a number of times... If you don't understand these instructions DON'T buy it... AND make sure you use lots of drain cleaner to open it up the rest of the way... Walmart Great Value drain cleaner works %26 is inexpensive... It won't work for impenetrable clogs or those that are deeper in the pipe, for those you'll have to take the pipes apart or try going down the vent pipe on the roof with a longer %26 thicker Snake... You won't know if this works until you try it, so don't whine cause you spent the cost of two lattes... P.S it worked for me I got 2 hair balls out... Give this a thumbs up so buyers can understand what they're getting...

it uncloged one of my sinks in the kitchen. Our kitchen pipes have a curve, I really needed a longer one but at least one side of my kitchen sinks is unclogged now. :)
