Unblocked sink pipe at seven meters along under the house.
Bought this as the kitchen sink was blocked, I guessed the length of pipe was less than seven meters, so thought it should do the job. When it arrived it looked too thick to go around two right angle bends, but I gave it a go, and it went well. Using the drill helped immensely, got all seven meters down the pipe. Once removed poured boiling water down the sink, after reconnection of the ubend. Checked the septic tank, saw a four inch plug of a fatburg which the boiling water had dislodged and the sink is now clear. Hooray. If the length was seven meters and 100mm it would have been better.🥳Read full review...

It's ok
The product was long enough but near the drill attachment it got twisted up very easily when the other leading end got stuck, after that it pretty quickly became useless. I'd only recommend it for light blockages to reach down those hard to reach places. It does seem like it would be best suited not to use the drill attachment, at least not a powerful drill. Perhaps a battery powered drill where it's easier to control the speed would allow you to come off the power quickly. I used an electric drill and the unblocker snake twisted in to knots before I could come off the power. The metal snake got twisted up like a telephone handsets cable and couldn't be used again. I would recommend a light touch when operating the drill.

Very useful
First remember to uncoil before use as I destroyed the drill end connection with the spring within first 5 minutes. Easy fix though.
I also think the outer sheath is a bit too soft as something in my drain tore the outside
Having said that it works and for the money it saved me a ton of money unblocking the drain.
If it was slightly heavier duty I would prefer but overall it did the jobRead full review...

Looks good and sturdy but failed....so far.
I could not get it round the bend in the toilet. Maybe with practice I could find a way. The length of the tool would be useful in some circumstances but is unweildy in a small bathroom. I had to lay it along the landing and back again.
I've not trued it down a sink plughole yet.Read full review...

A totally usless poorly designed item that quickly fails on use
A Very poor design, A spring that rotates in a poly plastic sleeve. The poly plastic sleeve has a very thin wall & the inner spring catches the sleeve & twists it out of shape. This results that the spring will not turn within the sleeve any more making the item totally useless. I used a portable drill with this on the lowest clutch setting. The thing only lasted about 30 seconds before it wrecked its A total waste of money Read full review...

Cheap price and quality. No good for heavy handed use, or more difficult blockages
Not ideal for heavy duty usage but at that price would work on lighter stuffUsed it to clear a blocked rainwater drain. Did the job but got mangled in the process. Plastic endpiece that fits in drill snapped as soon as I met resistance ans subsequently the central coil rusted.Read full review...

Cleared blockage caused by dog hair.
It was bought to help clear a blocked outside drain. There's a channel that runs alongside the driveway into the drainage system. It was completely blocked but too awkward to get drain rods into. I had to clear this, the water just wouldn't drain away. Nothing would shift it. This was really a last resort. I got my drill ready to fix on but it wasn't needed. A couple of twists once inserted brought out a mass of dog hairs. The water ran away - and so did the dog when I threatened to shave him. But seriously, I'd have no hesitation in recommending this.Read full review...

Excellent Product
Absolutely love the tool. It paid for itself within ten minutes of its arrival, and cleared a blockage which had been troublesome for some time.

I think this would be ideal for all purposis if the spring on the end was more like a drill bit, so it could drill threw the blockedg.
I would say this item would be great for unblocking a sink or possibly toilet, but no good for outside drain

Low end product
On appearance looks good but in reality inadequate for anything more than a light blockage.
Hex attachment to drill is plastic so will not survive the test of time. Inner wire is much longer than outer tube so easily snags round on itself, then needs reverse on drill to untangle.
Overall very unimpressive not as effective or as sturdy as my 20 year old hand operated sani-snake.
Money down the drain (pardon the pun).Read full review...
