We bought this based on the positive reviews a few years ago. We tried it right away to address a plumbing issue with the lower level toilet. Despite following the directions, it was very difficult to maneuver to get the snake down the drain and then to crank it without it retracting prematurely. It did nothing positive for the toilet and we still had to call in a plumber.We tried to rewind the coil and it did not work. We could turn the crank to get the coil back up inside the mechanism, but it wasn't holding and would fall right back out. Tried it on sink clogs just in case we needed to get the hang of things, and nope, still didn't work. Plumber said these types of augers tend to be pretty hit or miss in terms of quality, and this one was definitely a miss. Save your money and buy something else.

Not easy to maintain

I previously tried 2 other brands from home depot but failed. I assumed I was probably doing something wrong honestly. Then I tried this one from Amazon. Read the instructions and even watched videos before using it; just to make sure I did everything properly. After over thinking everything, I finally gave it a go. It was so easy to work with. Less than 5 minutes of using it, I caught the cropreat. A bunch of hair, as expected. I was so happy! My tub drainage issue was finally resolved thanks to this tool. No drill was used as well. Just the bar tool! Highly recommend.

I would give it a better rating but the drive socket got the drill motor stripped out. It’s a plastic piece that stripped out the first time I used it.other than that it’s a great unit.

After only half a dozen uses the drill bit adapter stripped out. The design for handling that torque is poor and prone to failure. Snake works well before failure but holding the engage handle is difficult to maintain.**Update. Company sent out a new tool without any problem, customer coersion or other problem. Would easily purchase from Polulo again. Very happy with simple easy customer service!! Other manufacturers should follow suit!

Used with and without drill. Both work fine. Of course using a drill is faster and easier. Needs a good strong grip to hold the clutch in. Much better than pulling the wire out by hand but not for anyone with a weak grip.

After 3 uses, the gear stripped. Now I have to use manually... Totally useless.

My household drains run underneath a concrete slab, so I can't get to them directly; and on top of that, I don't know exactly how they run. Apparently the bathroom sink joins up with the tub on the way out, because for the longest time both of those drains have run very slowly. In addition, running water at high volume down that sink caused gurgling noises under the tub. So I figured there is some longstanding constriction downstream of that point. Sometimes it would get REALLY slow, and then I'd attack it with drain cleaner, and sometimes some suction. At best, though, it was just a slow slow drain, and I learned to live with it that way.Periodically, over the years, I would consider whether I wanted to try to snake it somehow, but didn't have high hopes for that approach either. Nevertheless, running across this Populo auger revived my interest, and I finally sprang for the purchase. I opened up the pipe connection below the trap under the sink, sent the auger in, and removed it again, feeling not entirely sure how much I had accomplished. But when I took a shower that night: wowza! Problem solved! (I had forgotten what it was like to come to the end of a shower and not be standing ankle-deep in water.)This augur can be propelled with its hand-crank, and also provides an option to rotate it by attaching a power drill. I assumed I'd be tackling my own drain manually, as I didn't expect the problem to be very far down, and thought I might get better tactile feedback that way when I reached an obstruction. Well, it didn't take long to tire of that method. Each full rotation of the crank extends (or retracts) the auger only inch or less, so that adds up to a lot of spins. And working under sinks isn't usually the most comfortable posture anyway. So I soon pulled out my variable-speed drill, and that proved just the ticket.Other than counting your rotations, there's no clear way of knowing how deep into your drain you are getting as you work. (I think a nice addition to the design could be to color-mark the auger at fixed intervals -- say 5 or 10 feet.) Usually you will be able to remove the auger from your pipe by pulling it back out by hand, so at least you can see after the fact just how deep you were. (In my case, about 8.5 feet solved the problem.)This product includes a pair of protective gloves to be used when pulling the auger out by hand. I'm a fairly tall man, and the gloves were still large enough to be useful.Even if I never have to reach for this drain auger again, it will have been well worth the purchase.
