## Description

Product Description It's a cleaner way to clear clogged drains. The Spin-Thru contains a 25 feet by 1/4” (6 mm) spring that’s fed out of the drum into the line, keeping it away from clean kitchen and bathroom surfaces. There is a “T” grip handle for more convenient use in laundry tubs and other hard to reach drains. Complete directions on back of card. From the Manufacturer Surprising quality in a low-priced tool. Cable is held in place with a thumb screw. Stamped steel drum has a 25-Foot capacity. High impact "T" handle is particularly convenient for use in laundry tubs. Cables are economy grade for light duty occasional use.

Review: WORKS GREAT!!! - I literally received this drain auger tonight and used it right away. I had a major clogged drain in my bathtub. The water would fill up like i had a stopper on the drain. Before i ordered the product, i watched a youtube video on how to use it. It looked pretty simple. I filled the tub to a point where at least the bottom of the tub was covered...maybe a bit more. The water drains super slow. I removed the cover to the overflow which is above the drain. The issue in my situation as you can see from the photo is that there is this bar in the middle. This is not common. Usually there would be no bar. I believe this is the original tub to the house and maybe this is how it was in the past. The screws were so rusted that i couldn't remove the bar. In any case i had to shove the drain auger above the bar to get it in and down the pipe. There are simple instructions included with this product. Please attached photo. It really works if you follow them. In order to get the auger out of the barrel, you have to loosen the screw. See photo with my thumb. I pull out enough of the auger to push it down the pipe easily until it can't go any further. Then i have about 6 inches at the most sticking out of the overflow. At this point you want to tighten the screw. Now you hold onto the handle and turn the knob clockwise while pushing forward on the auger until it goes further down the pipe and you have reached the overflow. Again you don't have to push too too hard but with a little force. Now you loosen the screw again and pull out another 6 inches of auger. Tighten the screw and again while pushing forward you turn the knob clockwise until you get to the overflow. If the auger doesn't move very well, pull out a few inches of the auger from the pipe and try again with turning the knob and pushing forward. You repeat this process until the water drains. It literally took me less than 10 minutes. I was very impressed! Once the clog is cleared, you loosen the screw and slowly pull the auger back into the barrel. It goes back in very easily. As you can see from my last photo, there was A LOT of hair in the pipe. 😊 that is 5 years of accumulation. I also bought the TubShroom hair catcher specifically for bathtub drains which is available on desertcart. It's meant for 1.5 inch diameter pipes. I am going to use that to see how well it will catch future hair. Just FYI...I am a female with some experience in home improvement. But i haven't dealt with plumbing issues.
Review: SO happy I bought this thing after a plumber and two bottles of Drano - Rental house, improperly installed basement shower that piped water to a floor drain by the water heater. Bottoms of walls were rotted when we moved in and we soon found out why. Shower would flood the bathroom regularly. Called slumlord, sent plumber. Landlord charged us without notice. Thing flooded again. No way I'm calling the landlord. Ordered this thing. Failed on the first two tries. Went back, shoved it in there as hard as I could. Finally got it about 20 feet in. When you turn the crank, the tip acts like a screw: it drills into a clog and hooks into it. If you hit a block of hair or something, you'll feel a slight resistance. I hit MAJOR resistance, but it wasn't hard like metal. It was like catching a big fish. I had to pull MUCH harder to get it out this time. Know what I found? A BALLED UP RAG DOWN THE FREAKING DRAIN. 20 FEET BEYOND THE HOLE IN THE FLOOR. Shower runs like a dream now. No more sharing the second bathroom. So grateful for this simple, killer tool. Fantastic bargain for perfect results and peace of mind. I covered the line with tool/gun spray that's supposed to prevent corrosion, as per the suggestion of another reviewer. Too soon to say how well it works, but it seems sensible. I want this thing to last as long as possible.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what it's supposed to do
*by S***E on August 17, 2017*

I bought this for my bathtub because I had an issue with standing water/slow drain. It is super easy to use. I think there are instructions included, but since I youtubed how to do it, I guess I didn't find them that helpful. It's really simple to use tho. The snake is really long and I imagine will work for most people for most projects. The material is substantial. It doesn't seem filmsy at all: it's both flexible and stiff at the same time if that makes sense. It's flexible enough to work it's way down the pipe but not so much that it'll just fold in on itself like other drain thingies. Does that make sense? Anyway, turns out that I had a problem with the lever thingie that open/closes the hole to the pipe in my tub. There's this weight thingie that attaches to a metal lever that raises and lowers when you open/close the drain. Turns out that this weight was always half closed which accounted for the slow draining. Once I adjusted the length of the lever & weight thingie, my slow drain problem was solved. But, I did stick the snake through the tubes and it seemed to work well enough.
