I had a sink that was taking foreverrrrrrrr to drain. I knew it was probably not helping that I dropped an acrylic nipple barbell down the sink two months ago. I tried everything I could think of - liquid plumber, baking soda and vinegar, pulling out the drain plug mechanism to clean what I could reach. I still couldn’t get the sink to drain in less than 10 minutes. I bought this kit because of the low cost and good reviews. My mom warned my that her cheaper drain snakes tended to have the little briars break off but I saw no reviews about that here. I got this kit and set to work. It worked a miracle! The orange snake fit on all sides around the drain plug and pulled out hair, dirt, plastic pimple patch backing, and even the nipple barbell. The snakes are thick, don’t break at all, and are plenty long for a kitchen sink. My sink worked like new now and I even sent this product link to my parents and a coworker. This kit is a godsend for cleaning out drains/clogged pipes.

I really think I'll make good use of this over time. It comes with three tools. The most effective was the scrubber, a long handled bristle brush that really scrubbed the drain clean after the clog was cleared. The plastic snake is short and limited in use, but is highly effective in pulling the clog out and out, rather than just pushing it all down. The last is another snake like tool with a claw like grabber. I can see it being very useful for bathtub drains, or getting the basic gunk out of the bathroom or kitchen sink. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This quality, durability and functionality of this product is great. They all provide such ease of use for me. Taking oout chicken bones, latex gloves, food, condoms, is easy with the snake piece. Just wash yours off so no smell afterward, remember cleanliness is important.

I just needed a single plastic drain snake and went to Amazon for something cheap. I wasn't sure this package deal would be good, but it was under $7 to deliver it all right to your house, and to be honest my kids would want more than that to drive to a box store and pick something up for me! :-) Anyway, the plastic snake works great, just as I would expect, but I was genuinely surprised by how fantastic the long flexible claw thing worked! I was expecting a piece of junk that they just threw in to sell the drain snakes, but it has a powerful spring and a strong claw that works great. I even used it to grab a bunch of lint out of our dryer vent! And then they also throw in two long bottle brush type things, that are also surprisingly heavy duty. Seriously, it's cheap and they work great, and how much time should you really be spending reading reviews of something that's only $7? I loved them so much I'm taking my time to go back on Amazon and rave about them! And no one is paying me or giving me anything for free, I just think if you sell a great product at a somewhat ridiculously low price, people should appreciate it.

It is so simple and works so well. Just insert it in the drain, wiggle it around a bit, and pull out a wad of hair. Presto! Your drain works again. The orange plastic strips also work on sink drains and will fit in the small space under the drain plug, but it's harder to pull the hairball out. The metal gripper managed to pull four screws out of the drain trap after the hair was removed. I also used the gripper to grab a glove that fell behind some heavy furniture.

An example of the worst possible scenario - MY scenario. Welcome to hell. It's been 3 days since the drain became fully clogged. Typically you can just pull out the hair, but this time was different. There's no hair or anything else visible to extract from the drain hole. Whatever it is, it's 3 inches back and maybe one inch down. This morning was day 3 of hell. I was crunched for time before work but determined to take a shower without Liquid Plumr all over my feet and the chemicals in my lungs. I was kneeling outside of the tub, afraid to look the drain hole in the eye at this point. Full-blown cognitive dissonance had manifested itself in my psyche, and in the same sheepish way I might open up a letter that I know contains a collection notice, I avoided looking down, wishing the problem would have solved itself by now. Were it so easy. Easy?!? Nothing about this has been easy! It has been three days without a shower, two days and 2 jugs of Liquid Plumr. I had already filled the tub over and over with hot water for the 2 days to try and flush it. Plunge plunge plunge, wait 12 hours to drain from full every time, plunge, plunge.. without ANY improvement whatsoever. Then the snakes arrived from Amazon last night. I thought to myself, "yes! My problems are solved first thing tomorrow! At last!" It has great reviews right? Well. Was I ever mistaken. Those reviews are from peeps with easy drains. With easy access drain holes, I'm sure this thing goes 30" deep and grabs a hold of everything on the way out no prob. Not my drain hellhole. I began to have an ongoing conversation with it. And the Liquid plumr. And the drain snake. And every other inanimate object in sight. "You can erode away all of my steel but not whatever is clogging the drain??!" I said to the Liquid Plumr. Amongst other things. You see, I was frustrated because, on top of a million and one problems and not having enough time to deal with this, I had just knelt down harrrrd atop a piece of kitty litter which pierced through the entire limb making a 10" exit wound in back. After intensive surgery and a lower-leg transplant, I was back at it. I had already been here several times in the last 2 days, and this morning screwing around to no avail with this super cheap slippery wet sharp & painful drain snake. It's like holding onto a blackberry briar. Seriously. It is not quite as sharp, but it still hurts, plenty - that is, IF your drain hole originates from hell like mine does. I finally reached where I felt like I was getting into the 2nd bend (I now believe I was running into the actual clog itself, right inside of that bend) and had just started to think with great hope - "I think I can get it to go in further now!", suddenly a splotch of Liquid Plumr line-drives its way directly into my freakin eyeball! I had to drop everything and flush it out immediately otherwise risk going blind in one eye. And I had to wash my hands first because they have the stuff on them which takes forever to wash off! So at this point my eye was tightly shut and half my face contorted into something unrecognizable. Inside the tub was diluted Liquid Plumr that, even at only 2 inches, still takes 6 hours to drain. So I used a whole jumbo roll of paper towels to sop it up. "Get in my eye NOW you fricken bleeepin bleeep of a bleep!" Sigh... "I can do this. I HAVE TO DO THIS DANG-IT! I want to take a shower! I will never let this happen again.... however it even happened? How did this happen?! I'll find out..." Meanwhile, the kitty kitty is like, "meow? Meowwww? Meowwwwwwww?? Meowww meoww meoww meow!!! Meow!" And I'm like "MEOW!?!?!? MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW!!" So, he left pretty fast. I'll make it up to him by snuggling his face and giving him treats tonight and playing. And brushing him. And petting him sufficiently. Until he decides he is finished with me. He is spoiled. I am HIS pet as far as he's concerned. Thank God he isn't as big as a panther. I'm 100% certain he would torture me to death or just rip my head off. After getting treats and forcing me to pet him, of course. Anyway! After completing a thorough kitty litter inspection, I found myself back in hell once again, trembling in fear, peering feebly through my finger slits, tears streaming down my face as my sanity slipped away. And where the heck did I put my safety glasses 6 months ago!? Once again I began to look back down out of the corner of my one bloodshot eye. Down, further down, just a little further, there! On my right side . . .dun dun DUNNNNN . . . the drain hole menacingly comes back into view, breaking through my cognitive dissonance like animated Batman chasing after his parent's murderers on a potent dose of no-fear gas. Measuring in on the top surface at a staggering 2" inches across, featuring sharp bloody teeth and bubbly chemical breath, my arch enemy laughed at me, gurgling and spewing boiling poisonous droplets in every direction and burning holes in my arms. A full inch below the surface, but of course, is a fixed, thick, steel crossbar, which creates four iiiiity bity tiny triangular-ish holes to work with. Each hole is roughly a quarter of an inch wide, which is barely enough to slide the snake into. Can it get worse than that? YES! IT SURE CAN! Directly below the freaking crossbar not even one full freaking inch down, this freaking pipe does a 90 degree angle straight freaking back. "Whyyyyyyyyy?" my lamentations echoing out of the tub and down the hallway. "Why? Why would they do this? It is pure foolishness.. It can't get worse than that, I mean, surely, you might ask . . . right?? Yes, it can. It can get way worse. This freaking pipe then TAPERS DOWN TO 1/2 OF AN INCH AND THEN 3" LATER, IT BENDS AGAIN - 90 DEGREES STRAIGHT DOWN. The clog is in that 90 degree downward 1/2" pipe bend I'm sure of it. I thought that snipping the crossbar out with my steel snips might help, but it didn't help at all. How will I explain THAT to mgmt and still get my deposit when I move out? Sadly, the fact that the pipe double elbows and immediately tapers to 3/4" makes it impossible for this cheap drain snake to be effective at all. It isn't strong enough to get through these old, ultra thin, bending pipes. I destroyed 2 of the snakes inside 15 minutes trying to get them to go in further, but they won't. They just bend to heck, turning the orange plastic white where it bends. Idk what to do. I filled the tub with hot water again and went to work. It's still there . . . waiting for me . . . My only options are to pay for a snake that isn't super cheap and won't immediately bend and become unusable, OR hire a plumber. Moral of the story: This product works well for drains that are uncomplicated and on the newer side bc newer drains should be much wider and not all 90 degree bendy. If the drain goes straight down, or bends but it's a big pipe, of course this will work. Anything will work in that easy situation. Also if there is corrosion in your pipes, this snake has sharp machines edges that easily sticks into the rusty corrosion and that stops it from moving forward. Bit there are brushes included, so good to take advantage of scrubbing your plumbing pipes. They should be scrubbed on occasion anyway. If you can even get to them unlike mine. Wow I wrote a ton. Sorry. Hope it helps somebody! Please pray for me! LOL. Good luck with your drain. 3 stars because I am not mean. Like I said I'm sure it would work in an uncomplicated situation. It just doesn't work at all in MY situation. Update: Later that night I decided to test my theory about where the blockage was and use the brush to clean the walls for a coat hanger to try and smash the blockage through. Well, I ended up smashing it through with the brushy snake thing that's meant for cleaning. The brush snake lost its white tip down the drain but the sound of the remaining water rushing down the drain was like music to my ears. "I DID IT!!" I exclaimed. Shower time. Since the coat hanger would have shoved the blockage through as easily as a bent butter knife, I am not upping my stars. The product is cheap plastic. I wish I had thought of getting it manufactured and selling probably 100+ per month. It's a genius idea! And probably ran a total of $5,000 to market on Amazon. I'm impressed. Next step, mfg my own less-cheap product and get rich before "we will own nothing and be happy about it by 2030" rolls around. If this experience taught me anything, it is that I am definitely going to invest into my product ideas that are a lot better than this one and get rich. Thanks for reading! If you made it this far, WOW. You really need a hobby! Haha. OR you are experiencing clogged drain hole hell. My thoughts are with you. Again, good luck.

I didn’t use the fancy grabber. I used one of the orange ones to fully unclog my tub drain. So much hair was in there. The white brush deformed a little too easily in the tub drain (couldn’t get it down far enough) and didn’t grab the hair, but it worked really well for my sink drain. Keep in mind that the orange ones get harder to insert each time due to the barbs bending back on the way out. Not super reusable, but that ok at this price, and they include multiple. I think next time I’ll just buy the orange things.

All you need for unclogging sinks, showers, drains . Toilets, Dyson tubes, plus recovering small items from difficult places. Absolute bargain

The spiral brushes were the best. Orange ones to big for my sink holes. Haven’t used the other. I used the brush first up and down in all the little holes. Lots of black bits came up.Then I Ran the tap brilliant done. I am going to pop down some vinegar. Heat it up and pour it down.Cheap and cheerful item.

Orange strips worked well, albeit not long enough for what I needed (I attached 2 together with some duck tape and string and it worked perfectly). Duct tape to hold it together, and string to pull it back out if the duct tape didn't hold. I'm putting this down to a user error as seller clearly said length and if I purchased again I would get longer ones. My sink was blocked so I pushed the orange tool through the sink hole (not advised) as it's hard to remove and when you do the orange spikes will break off, adding to the blockage. That didn't work as it had to go round the U-bend, I then removed the U-bend (easy to DIY), and put the orange tool straight into the waste pipe. After inserting the orange tool, I couldn't get it round a corner as they are fairly stiff to begin with. I took it out bent the ends ever so slightly (not enough to weaken it and in the direction of the next pipe - this case vertically down), it went in relatively easy. It didn't bring up any dirt or hair, but I managed to pushed the blockage through into the larger waste pipe going through the flats vertically. The heavier duty tool (black one) wasn't used as it wasn't flexible enough to go round corners. I think this would be ideal in some scenarios but not for me - only reason for 4 star rather than 5.

Great thank you

The orange things aren't that great, didn't bend round the plug bit at all. The little teeth got stuck and started to break, very flimsy and we were worried that it would snap in the drain! The metal grabby things are cool and handy though, that's the only reason for stars ✨
