Review on ๐Ÿšฟ 5-in-1 Sink Snake Cleaner: Ultimate Drain Auger and Hair Catcher for Kitchen, Bathroom, and Toilet Clogs - Forlivese by Don Merritt

Revainrating 1 out of 5

He had a JOB. (Revain's ratings are broken - it's not 4 stars in any way.)

Spiral-tipped metal snake made of inappropriate materials. The metal is weak, but at the same time it does not bend. I tried using it in a bathtub drain and then a laundry tub drain. The behavior is the same for both drains. First it slides in, it reaches the first turn, then it jams, and then it bends. If you refuse, you will achieve nothing. If you try to push it through the first bend, it will catch on the edge of the pipe and shrink. If you had open access straight pipe it would work, but then regular wire would work too. The usual bend in two standard drain types could not be executed. Useless, but at least it didn't collapse in the sewers. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about plastic tools. Plastic drain cleaners with jagged edges are *also* the wrong material. It has no power at all. this is a joke As others have said, he doesn't want to bow either. Worse, once it gets stuck on something, you're going to be in trouble. Like many others, it broke deep down the drain when I was pulling it out. It wasn't a show of strength. It broke with a force of about 5 pounds. Are they UV resistant? May be! Much weaker than a screed. (In fact, I think they're usually made out of the right material.) I had to disassemble the tubes to get them out with pliers. After the "accident" I twisted it with pliers and saw how easily it breaks. The handle tool will not work if it is in a pipe with a large bend (you can see the pattern here) - it will either get stuck in the sleeve making it too much effort to open - or if you force it open - congratulations, but it will not be able to retreat without capturing something. As with other tools, it will probably work on a perfectly straight pipe (assuming you remove the screen so you have a straight shot). Maybe they are all designed for drains with all fasteners and bends removed? If you just catch them in a perfectly straight tube, it might work. Does anyone really need this? Not me. The attached picture shows the second plastic drain scraper (the first one has already been discarded). I easily tore it apart with my fingers.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Not bad
