Review on ๐Ÿ Versatile Cobra Products 61000: Gray 2-Piece Adjustable Grip Handle for Maximum Comfort by Brian Summers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A must have for everyone and save money by not calling a plumber. You can find more useful information in my review.

This is an amazing tool and if you squeeze and feel it, you can squeeze it easily without staggering. The feel of this is similar to running a straight bar through the tubes. If you hit a clogged area or even roots, step back a little and move forward, in and out, in and out, and it'll go through pretty much anything. This tool has some weight and will definitely unclog your clogged sewer line. Another tool to have is a sewage bladder, it also clears your line and I've used it with success, but if the plug keeps coming back, use this flat bar. After using this wand you can flush with a sewage bubble, which I do. Now use "foam root killer" or "rock salt" on the roots in the line, see YouTube for info. both are safe for plumbing. Also, flush a handful of rock salt down the toilet every two to three weeks to keep the roots from reappearing (see YouTube). Once again this 100ft flat rod is amazing and a must see. Yes, I also mentioned sewer bladders and root killer products because the goal here isn't to call a plumber and make sure you have the right tools to succeed in the semi-curved plumbing industry and save some money. Yes they have a racquet where they cut your line right where it is blocked and pull it out. They purposely don't reach the city as they may tell you, but soon after your line is blocked because they only walked 40 feet while my line is 20 meters long and has roots in it. They offer $1,300 pressure washing and then say the safest course of action is to rebuild or redo your pipes for $10,000. I went through all this many times before I knew what was going on here. The last time the plumber came out he said he couldn't get more than 40 feet, he stopped at him but cleared the drain. Blocked again after 2 days but this time I used the bladder but the blocked line came back every 2 days. What really worked was the 100ft flat bar. Twice it stopped at me over 40 feet but with a short short in/out, in/out, in/out it broke through until it ended 20 yards from the city limits. Now electric cleaning plumbers with sharp blades on the end and all that horsepower couldn't work and stopped at 40ft where I could use this manual flat bar and pierce up to 67.5ft. That tells you something is wrong here and that's why I'm so glad I bought this flat bar. Finally I shouldn't have any major problems since I'm using Root Killer (as mentioned before), those roots died and washed off after a week. If anything ever snags, it's just a soft buildup and a flat bar or camera should work every time. Thank you for reading my review. I posted them because the flat bar is a great product and it really works. I also hope that all the additional information I have provided will help you and more importantly help you if you keep getting robbed by plumbers turns in their ranks. I didn't have that because I was cornering through a 4" main line to get there. The 3/4 flat bar tip is 1.25 inches long. I don't see details on smaller lines and how many inches. Line is available when using a 3/4" flat rod. There is now a 1/2" rod by the same maker/name for the smaller line, not sure what the tip size is? I suspect just that it will be 1/2 more flexible.Anyone who can provide info on the 1/2 flat bar would be helpful as well, but as for the 3/4 flat bar, I assume it's only for cords with A diameter of 3 to 4 inches or larger is appropriate, or if you don't have a 1.5 inch straight line.No twists.
