Plumbing 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!

I bought this on an emergency to unclog my tub. It's nice that the drain snake comes with a storage bag, a pair of gloves, and the instruction. The snake worked well and I was able to unclog the drain in about 20 minutes. The screw was easy to turn and the snake felt sturdy enough to do the job. For a first time user of a drain snake, I think this isn't bad. The instruction is clear and easy to understand although I also looked at a YouTube video for demonstration because I am a visual learner. Overall, I think this is a good product for the price.

After a week of misery and ineffective chemical products, my clog was resolved in about 5 minutes time. What was dredged up was disgusting, but I am very pleased with the effectiveness of the product, and it seems to be well built. No more hassles with landlords; I can quickly resolve the problem on my own! Remember to keep plenty of paper towels on hand to wipe off the slime before you put the snake away. The gloves should last a while too; you do not want to do this with your bare hands! Recommended.

It only has 15FT long, not 25 FT as shown in the picture.

So glad I purchased this fantastic drain snake. Not only is it easy to use, but everything required to use it is setup from the moment you un-box it. Save money by not hiring a plumber and go with this! The device itself is self explanatory, even a kid could use it! Definitely happy with my purchase. The drain in my photographs has been having problems for week. No joke, within five minutes of unboxing this plumbing snake, it has drained with EASE. 5/5 stars, for sure.

When paying for a product that is supposed to be new, the expectation is that it comes as new. The snake I received had clearly been used before. In fact, it wasn't even washed. Pretty disgusting given the nature of the device. My guess is that someone ordered this to unclog one drain and then returned it. You can find comparable devices at comparable prices all over Amazon, definitely choose another vendor.

The snake comes completely out of the case. Instructions are poor

Hard for a plumbing snake not to work as intended. Held up fine. Had to clip the bulbous end off for my sailboat drain lines because the lines are sorta small on the 1986 O’day 28.
