Review on 🐍 Cobra 30500 30000 Pipe Auger for Small and Medium Household Drains 1/2" x 50 Ft by Timothy Louis

I wish I had read the reviews first. I have a clog in a 75 foot drain with at least a 1 90 degree and 1 30 degree twist, but it could be more. The longer the snake and the more twists it makes, the harder it is for it to spin. You really shouldn't load the pen and save the planet from trash. Another reviewer had a great idea. Drive it in until you meet a blockage, then tie a spiral in several places and wrap the twisted end. The problem is that my turns are in the first 15 feet and turning 60 feet of a coiled snake instead of a proper drill grip is a huge pain. I pushed the clog down the downspout about 20 feet, but that meant I would be chasing it from the exit end with only about 15 feet of snake in the drain and crawling into a ditch underground - the undertaking involves a visit to a chiropractor with each one from them? What I did was grab my channel lock pliers, pull the snake straight out, push and twist with one hand, and use the lever to twist the channel locks with the other. Got a good bit of stuff, but fighting this thing was slow, tedious progress. You'll probably have to dig a blockage-distance hole and cut the pipe, or rent a drill bit with the right push-and-turn mechanism.
