This is a very good product. This works wonderfully on hard clogs, grease and hair. I used it in my bathroom and before I knew it I had a smooth draining shower.

Review Icon Autumnrose reviewed Drano Max Gel Clog Remover in Liquid Drain Cleaners:
This is a great product. The thick gel hang on to the clog in the drain from the top to the bottom. This is a great product and it really works wonderfully. I would recommend this to every one that wants a drain that flows with out backing up.

Review Icon irishgit reviewed Cobra Products Foot Drain Auger in Clog Removers:

Very effective for most household applications. Well made, and sturdy enough for the job while retaining flexibility.

 

I'd also add that the name and description make it sound like something Christophino keeps beside his bed.

Review Icon AmazonWoman9744 reviewed Cobra Products Zip-It Drain Cleaning Tool in Clog Removers:
good news: it works
bad news: IT IS GROSS!!!!

I used this product recently on the "slow" bathroom drain in an apartment I just rented. My advice before using:

1) Have rubber gloves, paper towels and a lined wastebasket ready
2) Stick zip-it down drain, wiggling as you go if necessary to fully insert it
3) Holding your breath, slowly pull it out (gunk is SMELLY!)
4) With paper towel, wipe gunk from zip-it into wastebasket, in direction of barbs
5) Rinse off remaining gross black water into sink, then dry zip-it w/paper towels (I could not bring myself to treat this item as disposable, it wasn't THAT cheap!)

This was EXTRA GROSS, since the hair and bodily detritus were the previous tenant's, not mine. UGH, YUCK! But it did work! /:ob

Review Icon J.Liu reviewed Sierra Tools Red Air Blaster Power Drain in Clog Removers:
I had the worse online shopping experience with this product. First of all, the product did not arrive until over a week after the promised delivery date. Second, the box was already openned and resealed with one key item missing. A request for the missing part went unanswered by either Amazon or the manufacture. Hope this was a exception.

Review Icon S.Sharp reviewed Sierra Tools Red Air Blaster Power Drain in Clog Removers:
I have an old house with some quirky plumbing. My tub often clogs. This is an ingenious little device. I bought the older version of this and loved it. This version is better because there are no attachments to manually hold on. So if you like the old model, you'll like this one better.

Having said that, this will not clear all clogs. My clogs are often due to hair and it will move them but not necessarily blast them away. I highly recommend a $1.98 gizmo called Zip-It that works wonders for clogs(got mine at the midwest chain Menards). Used in conjunction with another tool the Air Blaster can be very effective. For small clogs it works really well. Do NOT over pump it. It also traps water in the top, so shake it off in the tub or sink when you're done and before you store it. I'm not sure how well this would work on really small sinks or sinks with low angled faucets.

Review Icon Shade3571 reviewed Cobra Products Foot Drain Auger in Clog Removers:
Bought and used the 1/2" by 50' Cobra drain auger to snake our main house drain. It's cumbersome at 50' and takes a little elbow grease but it worked great. I would not buy this large one to snake out an indoor drain but it worked well on a larger pipe. Also, when I purchased this product it was 11.79 and I got free shipping when it was combined with another purchase. Because of the weight, I think it cost more to ship than the actual cost of the auger.

Review Icon SnowLeopard reviewed Sierra Tools Red Air Blaster Power Drain in Clog Removers:
My master vanity has been draining slowly for over a month. We tried using a plunger with some luck. It would make the flow a little better for about a week and then start backing up again. We have a lot of stuff under our sink and I didn't enjoy the though of removing everything to take the P-Trap off and clean it out, so I put if off day after day.

Then one day last week while at my friends house, I saw this drain buster in her laundry room. She said it works great and said I could borrow it. She told me to pump it seven times and put the correct size drain adapter on the end and it would do the job.

This morning I went to our master vanity and ran hot water till it started to back up. I pumped the blaster seven times and angled it down into the drain. The tip angles to accommodate the position that you will have to put it at to fit it under your faucet. I pressed down firmly to make sure I had a good seal and pulled the trigger! Wow an explosion of black junk came out and all over the mirror, our toothbrushes, Q-tips, tissue holder and everything else that was on the counter. Amazingly none was on me, but what a huge mess. I looked down and the water was rushing down the drain. It worked.

After cleaning the vanity and everything on it, I decided to blast the other drains in our house including the kids lavatory. This time I only pumped it 3 times at first and worked my way up to seven pumps. I also draped an old towel over the sink and blaster right before pulling the trigger. I highly recommend you do this when you are using it on sinks. I changed the tip adapter to the larger one and also did the showers and kitchen sink. Boy what a difference. I came to Amazon to order my own! We are on a septic system and I like the fact that I'm not using caustic chemicals (that often times don't work).

One other bit of info that will help is that you may need to remove the drain stopper on your sink. If yours is attached inside the pipes like mine was you will have to reach under the sink and unscrew the cap that holds the ball and rod in place. If you pull the rod out from the pipe a little you can then pull your drain stopper up out of the drain assembly. Don't forget to temporarily tighten the ball/rod and cap back while you blast your drain.

works just like they say it very easy to use and it did the job. I think this is something everyone should keep around just in case.
