KINGLEVPlumbing Snake 25-FT Plumbing Cleaner for Kitchen…

So my shower drain gradually became less efficient till I finally couldn’t put it off (nothing worse than having your feet hanging out in your dirty shower water).I attempted the natural route first - multiple rinses of baking soda and vinegar. Letting it sit overnight on the final one. I even used boiling water for one of the post BS/V rinses (a common recommendation although it apparently isn’t a safe one for your PVC pipes - which I found out post rinse… oops). I thought it had at least helped and maybe it did for a moment- alas, the drain still left my feet submerged and I needed another method.Following up, I used drano. Let it sit for the full 30 minutes. Did a good hot water rinse post. Surely, this is the answer. Chemicals that may also be damaging to the pipes… but I needed a solution. Unfortunately, somehow the lack of drainage got worse despite my best efforts.Okay, so obviously this clog is stubborn. The idea came to me - my dad used to use something called a snake back in the day. Let me do some research…I did some searching and came across this product. Not too expensive and seemed to be my only solution. I ordered it. The item came a couple days after purchasing which was great.I do the unboxing. It comes in its own bag- cute! And has its own gloves? Convenient. Lord knows I’d like my skin to avoid whatever is haunting my shower drain (especially after the drano incident).Anywho, I briefly read the instructions, take the tool into my shower, and get to work. I unscrew the screw. Release the snake into the drain. Come upon what feels like the blockage. Lock the screw again. Turn the handle clockwise per the instructions. Begin to retract the snake. Time to see if this thing was worth it.(Pictured) It was! And is! I found an unsavory mound of my post Covid hair loss. I did one more dip in to be sure- found a wee bit more of whatever else. Now my drain is working as perfectly as it used to.Clean up was relatively easy. Paper-toweled the gunk off (because why would I rinse it back down the drain again). I soaped up the whole item and rinsed. Once it’s dry the gloves and the tool shall return to their bag for (possibly) lifelong drain snake convenience. Very pleased with my success and independence in the matter and I’m sure my dad would be proud.Worth the buy!

If you are tired of calling the plumber every time you have a clogged drain this might be the tool for you. Payed for itself the first time I had to use it. Don't know if it would damage old pipes or not so use at your own risk.

Got this in and wasn’t expecting a lot from it. I’ve had a bathroom sink drain that has run slow for years and that quit draining at all.Luckily I took this little gem and sent it down the drain. It look some work to get it down the pipes and to the clog but once I did it for the job done quickly and easily.Now on to the quality of the item. The cable was sturdy and the unit was pretty sturdy. The plastic for the base of the unit was pretty sturdy for plastic and the price. If I had to give one negative it would be that the handle could be better. It was a plastic stub. It would have been nice if it was more of a knob that spun as you spun the base around. This is a minor nitpick which says a lot.Needless to say I recommend it if you want something cheap to deal with a clogged drain.

This was just what I needed

I bought my first house a few months ago. As I've always lived in apartments before, I'm a little concerned when something stops working and I have to solve the problem myself. I just haven't had many Mr. Fix It experiences. Well, my shower drain kept clogging. And after the 10th gallon of clog remover went down the drain, I realized that I had to try something new. I bought the snake and took quick showers till it showed up. The directions were simple. Just five steps. The tool was easy to use. I found the clog and cleared it right out. Easy. Now I have the confidence to attack my next home improvement challenge! The basement lights keep sparking and the room floods after big rainstorms. I got this. Thank you Plumbing Snake!
