Qwatuy 33ft Drain Snake Auger – Heavy-Duty Plumbing Snake for Clogs

Most household clogs sit beyond what a plunger can reach: hair packed in a tub drain, a grease plug past the kitchen trap, or a slow floor drain in the basement. The Qwatuy 33ft Drain Snake Auger is a hand-cranked drum auger that feeds a flexible steel cable into the pipe to break up or hook out the blockage.

The cable is 33 ft of heavy-duty, high-carbon spring steel. It can bend more than 90 degrees without kinking, so it follows a trap and the turns behind a wall instead of jamming at the first elbow. A screw switch locks the cable at the length you've fed out, letting you crank against the clog at the right depth.

Using it

Feed the cable into the drain until you feel resistance, lock it with the screw switch, then turn the drum while pushing gently. Twisting lets the tip bore through soft clogs like soap scum and grease, or snag hair so you can pull it back out. Run water afterward to flush the line.

• Cable: 33 ft spring steel
• Grip: ergonomic pistol grip
• Housing: high-impact ABS drum that protects the cable and keeps it contained
• Uses: kitchen sinks, bathtubs, showers, bathroom drains, floor drains and sewers

Because it's reusable, it can cut down on reliance on liquid drain cleaners for routine clogs.

Good to know: wear gloves, and wipe the cable dry before winding it back into the drum so the spring steel doesn't rust between uses. Read the included instructions before the first job.
