Review on Cobra Products 88250: Effective 1/4-Inch 🐍 Clearing Drum Auger for Power Drain Cleaning by Eric Wright

The small extra cost, the extra five feet of this snake, and the ability to attach a drill were worth it. Works easily with a cordless drill/driver. This tool needs to be used with some care and probably not in a pipe larger than 1.5 inch diameter. The drill stopped spinning (I pulled the snake out of the drain too much). This created some permanent kinks that could only be partially corrected. It still worked but needs more attention now. If your drill has torque control, set it to the minimum and push no more than 18 inches of spring out of the down tube. Passing the snake's head through a 2-foot, 1-inch pipe as a "guide" can be useful in some situations, such as: B. when you get under a sink or counter. The spring will dangle inward too freely, which can cause serious bending and permanent damage. Larger tubes require larger diameter coils. The plastic case fits, but cannot be opened to clean or change the spring coil. 2 feet). However, for about $20, this snake cleared two clogged drains for a lot less than a more workable one, and certainly cheaper than calling a plumber.
