 Works...And Resuable.....Like They All Are....ReadAug 30, 2009
By Ambergris

I saw an ad on TV for the "turbo snake" that got me hunting down something similar here on Amazon. First up, don't buy the turbo snake from its online site, or on the phone. Like all these pitchman products they slaughter you with the S&H, and you can do much better here on Amazon. The turbo snake, like this product and many other variations on Amazon are basically a thick flexible nylon or plastic strip around 18" long that have some kind of teeth at the end designed to grab and extract the hair and gunk that gets caught in the trap of bathroom sinks and tubs. Most of the products you will see here on Amazon,(including the turbo snake) claim they are for one application only. (Something they fail to even mention in their infomercial). Be advised this is a gray area. ALL the products of this type can be used more than once if you have a strong stomach, or are just plain cheap. The reason why drain cleaners such as these tell you to toss it out after each use is because the prickly system of teeth employed at the business end that is responsible for grabbing the hair and gunk is very hard to clean. The teeth tend to hold on to its yucky prize most tenaciously. You will be forced to use your fingers diligently to dislodge the crap, which a lot of folks will cringe at. And in the course of the cleaning you may get carried away and break a few of the sensitive teeth, thus making it a little less efficient each time. Still however, if you're willing to do this, and or feel that a little disgusting chore comes about easier than $$$, you can accomplish it and use each of these tools at least a couple of more times. The other reason why products such as these tell you to throw them away is because after each use the flexible rod gets bent and twisted a little, thus a tad harder to operate. Not impossible or greatly damaged, but a little misshapen. Certainly not does it get so bent out of shape after one application that it becomes useless to be sure. One has to decide for oneself if they want to use this tool once and buy in multiple units, or perform the disgusting deed. As for the tools effectiveness, let me say first off that I have owned 3 different versions of this type of unclogger and have found them all to be of great use in getting to the clog and effectively extracting the crap. There is only a very small or moderate difference in all of them. Mainly in the design of the teeth. All of these tools are designed for clogs at the trap, and very close to the sink or tub. That means they are unfortunately a little short, around 18 to 24 inches, and designed only to turn the corner of a bend in the sink and that's it. If you suspect your clog is a little deeper, you will either have to purchase a longer snake, or call a dreaded professional. Other than that, this product, and all of them I have tried like them are both very effective, AND reusable if you are willing and accept the terms described beforehand. I cannot recommend any one over the other since all of them seem to be equally effective despite the small differences in design. My only recommendation would be that if you are going to be one that passes up on the squeamish cleaning and use once, buy several of them at a time and make the shipping charge worth it. Trust me, these little tools work much better and are far easier than removing a trap underneath a sink or tub to get at a clog. Which for me, always and relentlessly no matter how careful I am or how much I tighten it, means they leak forever more...

It works!Dec 12, 2007

It's a simple tool where you jam this thing in your drain and it gets all the hair and gunk out of the pipes. Once I used it on my shower drain, water was draining faster and would not clog. I use this item every other month to get all the hair out of my pipes. Highly recommended if you can afford it.
I was also told by a man at Home Depot that you can also just use an old hangar and make your own stick prodding tool.

 More durable than some othersApr 20, 2010
By D. Douglas
It surprisingly worked for me, but I think it worked more by pushing the clog through than pulling the blob out like some do. It was sturdy, durable and reusable - easy to clean off.

Im lovin' it :DFeb 02, 2010

My tub drain was clogged, and when I showered, my feet were swimming. This product worked great for my clog! I had to stick it down about 10 inches or so, to reach the hair clog. I proceeded to twist the stick, and when I pulled it back out, it pulled out a monster sized hair clog. Shower drains awesome now! If your clog is deeper than 15 inches or so, than this product won't reach it. But it's cheap, so its definitely worth a shot. I cleaned the drain stick off, and now it hangs on my shower holder for future use, its reusable.

By BXC
it gets the gunk out of the trap, easy to use. cheap, and re-usable. sturdy too. best to experiment with the angled tip for effective insertion, can twist around a little also for better cleaning.
