Cobra Products 40030 3/8-Inch by 3-Feet Home Toilet Auger, 3/8 in X 3 ft, Black & Gray

Did the trick and saved me 100s at this point in just a few uses! Easy to use if a bit cumbersome. Get it and try it before calling someone, you'll save a lot of money if it works.

It works when nothing else does to clear a clogged toilet, thank God. It’s a bit flimsy and it’s not really possible to turn the handle but it gets the job done. I only wish it were cheaper or part of subscribe & save because I end up having to order a new one every couple months - let’s just say I am NOT cleaning that thing for reuse, it goes right into the dumpster!

I've been struggling with the toilet intermittently not flushing through for months. Before I called a plumber, I thought I'd try this reasonably priced 3 ft. snake. Why not, for $6 it'd be a LOT cheaper than a plumber call. Besides, I saw a young lady on the internet use it, and it looked very easy. Yep.First thing is SAFETY. If there's any STUFF in the toilet, it'll definitely get on the snake/tube, so wear your PPE -- Safety glasses or goggles, rubber gloves, and old clothes. I also recommend removing rugs, etc. from the bathroom. Have a large trash can, or something similar, to put this snake into once you're done...that way you can carry it outside for cleaning without dripping all over the house. Also, if you've already tried a chemical drain cleaner inside the toilet water, DO NOT USE THIS SNAKE -- call a professional plumber, because those drain cleaners can cause severe burns and other health problems. Please let the plumber know what you put in the toilet before she/he starts working, and keep the bathroom fan ON all the time.To start, pull the cable back until the "working end" of the snake touches the plastic tube. Then place the 90 degree plastic tube inside the water, so the tube protects the porcelain. Now, keeping the plastic tube from moving in/out of the bowl, start gently cranking the handle in a clockwise motion. You can feel the head of the snake moving around, and with a little finesse, and occasionally pulling back-and-forth on the plastic tube about an inch, the snake head will start to make it's way into the toilet. Once I got the handle all the way to the end of the plastic tube, I gently backed the handle out (again keeping the plastic tube from moving), but this time without cranking, to see if the snake head could dislodge anything in it's path. If it catches up on anything, just rotate the handle counter-clockwise and it'll come free. When done, back the handle all the way until you feel the snake head stop at the submerged end of the plastic tube, and then pull the tube out of the bowl.Hopefully by now the clog is broken free. If not, the clog is further down the piping, and you'll need to go farther than 3 feet. There are longer snakes available, but the price starts to get close to what you'd pay a plumber to do the job. BTW, for me the clog is down in the pipes, so I'm going to call a professional. Yay.

Works like a charm, and sure beats taking a toilet off or hiring a plumber for $500.00 !!!!!!!!

So this thing was like $20 cheaper than my local hardware store one and I waited about two three days for it I broke it on the first use but I'm a welder so I'm going to Reweld the handle on it. But in general after about 2 or 3 attempts with it it wasn't able to reach the clog and also it bent the spring and broke the handle on the first attempt

This tool really works! I was really skeptical. I read reviews, then watched a YouTube video, as suggested in the reviews. I tried 3 times yesterday, with no luck. Today, on the third try, the auger fished out my granddaughters’ big hair claw clip. This tool saved me a big plumbing bill. I highly recommend!

A good tool to unclog stubborn toilets without damage, easy to follow instructions too, each household should have one

Works okay while it holds together. Bought two of these five years ago. Used one while the other sat. I had bought for another location, but didn’t need it. Just used the first one again, and the black plastic sleeve started racking away, so I couldn’t get the coil to spin properly. Cracked so much that I just threw it away. Went to use the Econ’s one which had never been used and noticed that the sleeve was already cracking! Not a good situation, as I did not have a plunger. Managed to clear the clog with a bit of brute force on the coil, but no, I would not recommend this product.
