This awesome little $18 gadget has saved me 30-40 times and probably thousands of dollars from having to call a plumber to clear my clogged drains.

I have tried liquid plumber many times with less than stellar results. If you truly want to clear a clogged drain, you must get an auger.
It's actually fairly easy to use and I hope you found my video helpful on how to unclog bathroom sink drain.

I bought a similar auger(plumbing snake) as yours. A few days ago, our sink in the garage was clogged & we had to call our local plumber. After watching your video, I'm confident I can unclog the sink and save quite a bit of money
Glad to hear it! You got this!
Thank you for this video. I was able to unclog my sink by myself. I was so tired of the slow draining
Glad it helped and good for you!
As a single woman, I appreciate this help. My Dad didnt show me anything.
You bet! Happy it helped ☺️

Best of luck! Let me know how it goes!
My blockage us in the wall. What now?
Thank you very much, your video helped me finally unclog my sink. Even after watching so many others! The key was in locking it and until that step I did not know mine had a lock.
Glad it helped and good job!
Love the electrical plugs next to the basin 👌
I've always had them in all my bathrooms growing up. Apparently not all homes have them. Lol
Exactly the video I was looking to find!! Thank you!!
You bet!
Only thing I wonder... is how do you best clean that auger now, so you can use it again in the future? Lol
Thanks for the demonstration though!
I usually rinse and wipe it down with alcohol afterwards
Thank you for this video, I have the same auger and i have blocked the sink but did not know how to use this auger after i watched your video, I learned how to use the auger , thank you very much.
Awesome! Happy I was able to help ☺
Thanks for the information. I’ll auger the sink. I recommend using rubber gloves when coming in contact with the gunk.
Good tip! 👏
Thankyou for posting.very helpful.
You're very welcome!
Ya we just spent 100 before I seen this video but we had bigger issues too but thanks for the video
Glad you were able to get it resolved 🙂
5/2024. Just paid $15 at harbor freight for it. Worked great
Awesome! I love harbor fright 😁
Very helpful
Glad to hear that!
GOOD JOB
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed 😊
I paid $34 for that on Amazon and I recommend rubber gloves I take them at the doctors office. Lol
Nice! Amazon has everything!
Nahhhh no gloves needed!!!we just humans what are we gonna do grab gloves every time we take a poop
Fixed my problem today using this video. Thanks!
Happy it helped! Thanks for letting me know 😀
Thank you for posting! Very helpful.
Glad I could help!
Just go under the sink, disconnect the P trap, and do the same method
Good idea!!
I was wondering why he wasn't going through the trap?
Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
This is great, but your pipe should not be that movable.😮
Very true. Lol
Thank you very much
You are welcome! 🙃
I think i have clogged pipe back of the kitchen units… pipe has gone down and turn right to link to waste pipe… can you help
Have you tried using an auger?
Thanks very much for this straight-ahead simple video. Most helpful. Good luck to you -
Happy I could help!
Great vid! Prob wanna wear gloves. And remember, the first and even second resistance you feel is probably the curvature of the pipes (if it feels or sounds like hard and metal)
Yeah, gloves are a good idea. Haha. Thanks for the tips!
I couldn’t remove drain so went down under in through p trap went full length of auger before I cleared drain
Good job! Glad you got it uncloged!
You run the water while brushing your teeth. That’s all I heard lol.
🤣🤣
Can you add the cross link to the other video you mentioned in this video?

How long has taken most people to unclog their kitchen sink with such a tool the Auger ?
As So to give an Idea to those asking for help on patience trying to help fixing or unclogging the sink
The time it can take varies. I usually get all mine unclogged within about 5 minutes or less
Takes me at least 30 min as I’m uncoordinated and have weak desk job arms that just push buttons.
I noticed you didn't remove the p trap. You didn't have any issues getting past it?
No, I never do and it always goes by easily
Can you do it if your drain hole doesnt detach if you thread it in?
Can you unscrew the water stopper from the drain?
@JMGENTERPRISES it doesnt have a screw so i dont think so
@@mattyh6837 Hmmm. It's hard for me to advise without actually seeing what you see. Sorry.
I have a basin sink in my basement that my laundry drains into and the basin sink is clogged. I bought a 15' auger and can't seem to find the clog. Very very old pipes. It's kinda gross down there hoping I can get it.
Sorry to hear it's not working for you. I don't know much about old pipes to give you any advice unfortunately. Hope you are able to find a solution.
Just keep feeding snake further till end of your snake then Turn it it and slowly come back out see if it helps
The metal snake fell off on mine, how do I re atach it
Is it still wound up in the housing?
@@JMGENTERPRISES I figured it out. So the cable completely fell out, but I was able to catch it with my other hand. At first I was trying to spin the drum, I was thinking it worked like a winch.
I just shoved it back into the drum haha. I also just finished unclogging my drain. Thank you for your video.
@@PrinceofPwnage awesome! Well done! 😁
You have an electricity outlet ON your sink? 😳
I know. Lol. It came with the house that way 😬
It’s best to take p traps off.. just don’t be a brilliant one like “my friend” and test the drain with the traps still out lol.. yeah.. def wasn’t me..
Good advice! 👏
@@JMGENTERPRISES I really hope that was sarcasm.. that’s a common practice with plumbers
Saved you 30 or 40 times? You might have a bigger issue on your hands ha
Haha. It's an old house 😅
Thanks for sharing - made it look simple. However, I'm totally grossed out. I couldn't stop looking at your toothbrushes right there with this thing spinning and flinging whatever all over... then no gloves? 🤢
Hahaha. Guess I'm not as grossed out by things. Lol
@@JMGENTERPRISES did mine yesterday, even with gloves up over my elbows on I was grossed out and it was only a bathtub bro...
@@gymratt88 Nice dude! Do whatever makes you comfortable. To each their own!
This guy isn’t bothered about hygiene clearly obviously doesn’t mind touch nasty stuff from the waste pipe
Haven't had an infection or sickness yet from it 🤷♂️
@@JMGENTERPRISES. Probably past your germs onto others though 🥴
@@Thomas-z9t5k 😬
$18 to $30. Thanks Biden. The locking screw allows the thread to push the cable out or in depending on the direction of rotation. And you should go through the pipe in the wall and take the p-trap out. Just saying
Thanks for your input!
I would blame it on Trump and the 2017 GOP economic plan along with reganomics
$33 now . How is it possible that inflation is only a few percent a year?
Very well done. Now...let me go make a mess and make sure the kids our outside in order for be to be able to verbalize the correct curse words!
Hahaha. Happy to help ☺️
I tried this, kept feeling like I hit something, but then when I wound it in to break through, then pull back, there was nothing there. Tested the water, and the water didn't drain. I also got to a point in the line where it kinked and bent. Can I unbend it? I'm afraid it will eventually break there and get stuck in pipe.
How far are you going down before you hit something? Does it feel like you are hitting something hard or soft? Does it have any give when you push it? Typically, the clogs happen on the first or second bend in the pipes.
@@JMGENTERPRISES Well, it felt like I hit something a few times. After writing that comment, I plunged the sink hard and finally got water to go down. I must have freed something. Can I put draino in and leave it for a night, will this even help?
I have thrown out snake as bent really bad and it gets stuck in drain . Patience is the key . I used up 35 feet going in drain till I got it cleared . Used drano, vinegar and B soda , plunged to no avail
wd-40 could be used on the cable that got wet.
Good tip! Thank you.
works great
Happy to hear it!!
