Review on 🐍 Cobra 20250 Drain Auger, 25-Foot Length, 3/8-Inch Diameter by Robert Layne

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The handle doesn't work. Poor design

The cord is fine but the handle is totally unusable. Unfortunately, this renders the whole thing unusable. If you can't twist the cable, this snake won't enter the pipe. Home Depot sells an identical snake with a very similar handle that works great. It's a small difference between the grips that makes a big difference. Stop by Home Depot and pick up one to use for less! UPDATE: I went to Home Depot and bought a 1/4" 25 foot snake with a "real" crank. I paid $7.99 for it and now use this handle on this 3/8 cable and It works great. This handle is offset more and is a better overall design. Most importantly, it works very well and is fairly basic. I'm disgusted that Cobra gave an otherwise good product a completely useless crank. Buy a Home Depot first -Snake and do yourself a favor.
