Thanks for the video! My wife was on the phone with the plumber and I told her to hang up and give me an hour. I bought a similar snake for $10 and we got it unclogged! Probably saved us at least a couple hundred dollars.
I’m glad you got the issue fixed and I was able to help! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽
LITERALLY SAMEE
Nice.
I used that Everytime my good friend samee needs me to unclog a drain from one of her rental properties!....
They wanted 240
I love you💖 why? Because I was feeling completely defeated when I thought I had solved my problem by cleaning out the trap pipe first. Apparently, it was a double clog and I sat down almost in tears with the fear of how much a plumber would cost. Then I remembered I had 25ft snake in my trunk that I never returned from a year ago since I didn't know how to use it but someone recommended I should have one as a home owner. Your video has brought joy to my life in a time of despair so I love you!
Best advice to avoid kinking the cable is to only have 4" of it out between the tool and drain opening. Push the cable by hand when you're in a straight section of pipe, no real need to spin it unless you're at a bend or some other resistance like a blockage. Also, put your drill on the slow speed setting and go slowly, don't crank it super fast like you were doing. If the cable jams you will bend/kink it permanently and ruin it. After cleaning it you should let it dry, then add a light coating of oil to prevent rust, before coiling it back in the container.
Thank you so much for this advice 🙏🏽👍🏽😊
Damn I've kinked the cable.
Thank you for your extra advice
Will WD-40 do?
Thanks for the advice!!! 💰
Let me first just say THANK YOU! You just saved me hundreds of dollars on a plumber. I purchased the exact same drum auger as you did from my local hardware store (True Value) and followed your instructions to the letter. It worked just as you said it would. I even extracted the same giant wet rat-looking clump of hair that you did. Now my shower works great. Thank you again.
Always nice to hear about people going to the local stores. They’re always helpful and polite. I love Home Depot but it’s hard finding help there.
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! OMG I had a horrible clog in a sink. Tried everything and even got a drum auger but I wasn't using it correctly till I watched you and now I believe its clear WOOHOO!!!!!
To avoid sewer gas and bad smell caused by acidic materials, pour baking soda solution at least 10 minutes before your drainage cleaning work. Also use face mask and turn on exhaust fans.
Many many thanks! I googled a drain snake and got one similar. Tried it but did not fix the issue. Thought i'd check for a you tube video hoping i would not find someone who spends 15 mins talking before they half showed the use. Your Video was spot on very direct and allowed me to confidently clear the blockage. Happy drain happy Mrs ..The washing machine is back in use!
All good instructions and demonstration. One thing I might add is the metal "snake" is often not attached to the wheel. I learned this by surprise, lucky I caught it before it snaked away down to the main system all downhill. I took a piece of blue duct tape and wrapped it at 3 feet before the end, so I have a clue when the cable is almost fully deployed.
Clean and dry the cable after use and use some oil, WD40 or even a bit of motor oil on a rag and run the cable through the oily rag.
Thank goodness for UA-cam!!
WD40... Why didn't I think of that. I bought one last night (Rigid brand), used it at my mom's. Brought it home, rinsed it off w the hose outside, and let it air dry (like directions said) on the sidewalk. Thought about it when I woke up today that humidity increases in the early morning. Went and coiled it back up and noticed it was already starting to rust.
Guess I could soak the cable in vinegar or something to get rid of the rust... But, on the bright side the cable and reel are both only $~40 as needed. Rather than $160 on the low end for an independent plumber to make a simple house call.
I wonder if WD40 might remove some of that rust since it's only in the cable crevices... As long as I don't have to buy a snake to snake out the snake that broke in the drain while I was snaking the drain. Y'know! 😄
Thanks for the video! Used this on a bathroom sink (after removing the p-trap) and finally freed a clog I had tried everything else on!
I wanna tell you that I watched this video did what you said and it worked! Not only that but you aren't trying to be a badass or know it all like most of the other plumbing vids on yt. Thank you so much and God bless you.
Thank you 🙏🏽 so much! Means a lot! I’m glad I could be of help! Please be safe and Much blessings to you and your family 🙏🏽
Fantastic video - narrator is easy to super thorough and easy to understand - gives multiple options and advice - saved me $250 a plumber charged me last time - THANK YOU!
I’m glad to be of service and able to help you! 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
Amazing video! This was a project I put off for months because of fear and now I completed it in under an hour, LOL! The wife and daughter are happy to use the shower again, thanks man
Thank you for this video. I watched several others that just did not get to the point or were horrible quality. It's clear that you know what you're doing and can explain it in an easy to understand format with pro quality video. Great job!
Finally was able to clear a huge clog in the tub thats been there since we moved in. I have the hand auger but it doesnt do much. So I decided to get the one with a drill attachment. Let me tell you, it made a huge difference and now my tub drains great! Thanks for this video 😊
Thanks so much for this video. A bathroom sink wouldn’t come unplugged after plunging and using liquid plumber. I checked the P trap and realized it must be farther down. I was nervous to try an auger until I watched your video. I got nervous using it at first when I hit something but tightened it and it kept going. So after weeks of dealing with a clogged sink the auger worked! I didn’t get your same auger, mine is just a hand crank. But I mainly wanted to thank you for the encouragement and easy to follow video that gave me the courage to give this a try with success!
Nice job. Thoroughly explained, and yet still quick and concise.
Thank you so much for watching. Thank you for Your kind words 🙏🏽😊
I ended up using the coat hanger method and it worked! Thanks for the video.
thank you for sharing this! well done and very clear and excellent demonstration. I had done the wire hanger and draino- but i wasn't sure about the drain auger.
Thank you SO much for showing us how to do this!
I have to be my own plumber today and I've been very anxious about trying this, so I hope it will work for me.as.simply as it did for you!
God bless you!
Video was very helpful. The snake I have is hand feed only, but, the tip on pulling it back and turning the handle worked great. Leave only approximately 4 inches of snake line from the top. It holds it in place better while it works itself further down the drain. Once that is down I extended more line until there was almost none left. Never saw what was clogging it though. Used this method in my washer drain. Works so far.
I’m very glad to be of help! I’m glad you got it fixed! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽
Thank you! Think tip for how to get it around a corner was exactly what I needed! Just after 4:00
Thank you so much for this video. It really helped me out. I bought the same tool it worked perfectly.
Watched a bunch of videos on this but this is the most helpful so far, thank you for your great demonstration of the Auger to get that giant glob of stuff from the drain. Great video.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊

You gave confidence that we can DIY, save some significant dollars. Thank you so much
Cleared a shower drain today with the help of this video. It was the perfect explanation!
I’m so happy I could help! Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for the video. I’ve used this before, but a little refresher before I jump under my sink and kink the snake. Thank you, Sir! ✌🏽☺️🙏🏽
Thank you so much! And best of luck on your project my friend! 🙏🏽👍🏽😊 I hope you get the clog out!
Very helpful. Well demonstrated. Thank you.
This is by far the best video explaining how the job is done. I was lost for an hour and your video helped me (and a panicked wife after shower). Thank you so much, you are an amazing person!!!
Thank you so much for the love and support! 🙏🏽😊 I’m glad I could be of help!
I got a snake several years ago to deal with an issue. I've only had to use it 6-7 times, but each time I'm saving at least $100 of having a plumber come out. Used it 2 weeks ago to clear the laundry room/kitchen piping, and it started running after about 10 minutes of work.
An auger is definitely a must have for homeowners tool box arsenal! It’s pretty much is a great investment tool, and from your experience it looks like you’re saving a ton of $$$! Super happy for you sir! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽👊🏽
Brilliant thank you! Saved my parents drain with this video.
Perfect instructions. Thank you
This is the best video thank you so much for posting, probably saved us hundreds. You did a great job of explaining at the most simplest terms.
Excellent Video! Thank you for this. We have used a cheap hand auger in the past (4'-5' max length?). Yes, hair is the shower drain problem. I'm also guessing this will work with toilets too! And thanks for the reminder of cleaning before storing. We will be upgrading to your model today. Plumbers aren't cheap.
Great step by step instructions! Thank you so much.
I’ll give this a try, thanks!
Very good instructional video. No nonsense. Straight to the point.
I think that drill feature is essential. Saves tons of time.
One thing I disagree with, though. Please don't use that on a high speed setting.
500rpm is the top end of it, and I'd say 200 is fine (that's low speed, high torque mode, and like half throttle on the trigger). And set the torque clutch on the drill to the lowest setting that will turn the snake. Start off slow, then ramp up to where you feel comfortable (up to 500 rpm, at least on my Ridgid model). I run it for about 3 seconds, extend the snake a few inches, then run for another 3 seconds, etc. (If your model has an auto feed like my ridgid, that means 3 seconds free spinning, then 2 advancing, then 3 free spinning, etc.) That gives the drill enough time to catch the clog or clean the drain, and doesn't just hammer it into that clog so it binds. The clutch mode is VERY important because it keeps you from getting that snake bound and then just wrapping it up or kinking it up in the drain.
Perfect! Thank you for your help. I now know what to do.
This is very helpful. Thank you
Great video! I'm going to try this in the morning.
Worked like a charm!! THANK YOU!!!!!
I’m glad I could be of help! Thank you 🙏🏽

I got a 25 foot drain auger with drill attachment from Harbor Freight for $15. It paid itself off in less than a week when I cleared out the kitchen sink and then the bathtub.
The best video explain how hose this snake I’m about return the one I buy because I don’t know how use thank brother
You did it! 👍🏽 I just watched.
I had to use a drain snake about a year ago to clear a clogged pipe from a kitchen sink. I was using a borrowed 15 ft unit that came up just short of the blockage. I ended up discovering a short section of pipe that was at a slight incline collecting debris. I was able to cut the pipe out and replace it while lowering the connection so it would flow properly again. I also installed an access "T" that will allow me to use the snake in case of any future issues. Now we own a 25 footer but have yet to need it. The best part is that when I originally called the experts, I was quoted "Up to $1200" as it was a long weekend and an unknown blockage that we couldn't resolve with a snake, draino, or plunger. I said "No thanks" and spent about $45 and three hours and did it myself. The savings were invested in Bitcoin and have tripled in value. so not only did I come out looking handy but a financial genius as well. It looks like Disney World in 2022 is gonna happen for this family.
Yooo!! Bitcoin !! I’ve been trying to study up on that !
This is the best video, it saves me!
Thank you 🙏🏽 so much!
