Cumple su función, práctico de usar

The DrainX Auger worked like a charm completely clearing my drain in just minutes. Its pretty gross but a tone of hair came out. Pics are gross ( sorry) but shows it works so well ! There was a negative review that mentioned a malfunction of the unit but in further reading it became clear that the user was not using it properly. You must read instructions or watch a YouTube video on how to use a snake/auger. The long steel coil is not supposed to wind back in by turning/cranking of the handle! You extend and retract the coil by manually pulling and pushing it in and out. The turning of the crank handle is done only once the steel coil auger is pushed into the drain and the coil is locked into place with the screw to hold it once it hits a blockage - then you crank the handle and push the whole DrainX unit at the same time. The cranking of the handle spins the locked steel auger and the added pressure digs into the blockage .

It's nice for its money. Not so easy to use as fully automatic electric versions, but it's doing its work nice!

We had a clogged drain that flooded our laundry room and knew from a previous incident that this was at least 15 ft. out, basically almost under the sidewalk. I was impressed by previous good reviews of this tool, ordered it right away and it showed up reliably the next day. Apparently, judging from initial reviews, the tool has also been improved in that it now indicates in yellow color when the last 4 ft. of cable come out of the drum, so you know when to stop feeding it into the drain. Very helpful! We inserted the cable into the drain and after the initial trap (that takes a bit of patience to wiggle it through) it moved through with relative ease until it hit the clog. A few movements back and forth and we reeled it all back. Two laundry loads later, the room has remained dry, so the tool seems to have done its magic. I can only recommend this little tool as a quick remedy. It's little money well spent and can save you hundreds of dollars for the plumber. The next time this drain clogs up on me (which I am sure it will) I have a quick remedy at hand. Thanks, DrainX!

It really unclogged the clogged kitchen sink. But keep in mind these: After your job is finished, remember to wash the snake with high pressure water and also spray WD40 to the metal parts so that it will not get rusted and you can use it later as well.
