General Wire Spring KR-A Kinetic Water Ram

Works well. Approach the pressure you use carefully so at to not blow out your plumbing. Also, use a good stopper and towel to cover the other bowl in a two sided kitchen sink or you’ll get an unplanned shower…and have to clean the ceiling too…

Life choices can make for some deep introspection. As I sit here writing a review of a kinetic water ram on Amazon, I stop and wonder what my younger self of 30 years ago would say? Would my long-hair, head-banging person make the same decisions, or would he mock me for getting hyped up over something both mundane and esoteric? Of course, Amazon did not exist 30 years ago (but they're close to it), and I am still long-haired and head-banging, albeit with a bit of grey now, so in the end, the exercise is simply a fun diversion. Having had on-and-off troubles with one particular drain in my house, and several calls to plumbers, I decided to try this. After all, the cost of this device is equal to one, at most two, visits from a snake-wielding plumber, and can only save me money in the end. It works as advertised, but I would urge a bit of caution. Apparently my shower drain has a rubber boot which connects it to the drain pipe under the floor, and the boot started to slip off, causing a waterfall in my kitchen underneath the bathroom. I do not blame the usage of this device which caused it to separate, but in all likelihood, it was the original contractor who did not properly install the drain.

You should be careful, this guy packs a punch. But it'll definitely clear your pipes

This thing just destroys clogs and attracts more woman than Drakkar Noir in the 80's. I called a plumber a few years back to clear out a shower drain and the guy showed up with a device just like this one. Could have been the same exact one even. It was amaaaazzziiinnnggg... Anyway... for those clogs where the plunger just won't do it, this thing delivers. I had the most stubborn clog and took apart all the piping under the sink figuring it'd be localized. Nope - not localized. Tried snaking the drain. Nope - can't touch this (clog) Two shots with "the postman" (ya know, because it delivers!) and the problem was solved. It's my go-to for now on when I have a clogged drain. It's extremely well made and the ladies love seeing you hold it. UPDATE: After clearing the drain with this thing, she proposed and I said yes!

Works really good but it's really heavy. My tool slipped out of my hand during the first use an cracked the sink.

Over the years (I'm 57) I've tried everything from dumping chemicals down the drain to snakes to plungers. Sometimes they worked. Sometimes they didn't. All of them took a long time and/or a lot of work. This thing blows them all away (pun intended). Not only did it completely clear away the clog in my bathroom sink, it did it in seconds and without any environmental concerns. One of my best purchases ever. I'm surprised there aren't any serious competitors to choose from. This seems to be the only brand available. Seriously, give this thing a try. You can always return it but I'm sure you won't. My biggest concern now is that people will want to borrow it from me and "forget" to return it. It's that good. Edited to add: It's also great for blasting spiders off of my windows. I can do it from inside right through the screen.

Wow. Wow. Okay, I have been at this bathroom sink clog for 3 months. A partial list of methods that failed: Cleaning the trap, snaking it, snaking it with a more expensive snake, cursing at it, roughly 2 hours of plunging, about a dozen charges of one of those CO2 blasty things, and snaking the vent. As a last ditch effort (and yes the misses insisted I call a plumber), I got this badboy. A couple 30psi blasts and blamo! Sink runs perfectly. Now don't be concerned about the spout of water raining on your house from your vent, that's part of the magic (I assume). Super easy to operate, and you can use it for nearly any drain. It's one of those devices that makes you look around for other people's clogs you can blast out. I was skeptical about all the positive reviews, but I can now say, I am proudly among them. (and happy I proved the misses wrong ^_^)

The Water Ram has saved us hundreds of dollars in plumbing expenses over the years. It works well to unclog drains. You must periodically oil the o-ring per instructions or else the water ram will fail and you'll have to purchase a new one since repairing it is cost prohibitive.
