Kelly's Collection 30 Inch Drain Snake — sink unblocker 🛠️
Description:
This 30 inch drain snake offers a simple, manual way to tackle hair and grime in bathroom sinks, tubs and showers, saving time compared with chemical cleaners. Its flexible, nylon-coated metal shaft reaches past pop-up stoppers and around pipe traps to pull out entangled debris with minimal effort.
Key Points
The tool is a long, thin wand designed to slip through narrow drain fittings and shower grates, allowing access to blockages that are out of reach with a plunger. The microhook at the tip is reinforced and attached securely to reduce the risk of breaking off inside the pipe. Practical for routine maintenance, it is useful when hair and soap scum are the main causes of clogging. 🛁
Technical Specifications
- Name: Kelly's Collection 30 Inch Drain Snake
- Length: 30 inches
- Wand diameter: 0.11 inch
- Material: metal core with nylon coating
- Tip: reinforced microhook, sewn and glued to the wand
Usage Recommendations
Insert the snake with the hook tip slightly bent, push down into the drain and work the tool back and forth while rotating to snag hair and residue. Pull the tool up slowly to extract debris and repeat until water drains freely. For tubs with a drain cover or shower grates, the ultra thin wand helps pass through the openings without removing the grate. For clogged sinks with an S or P trap, feed the snake around the bend to reach the accumulated hair. 🧰
Positive Aspects
The nylon coating makes the shaft flexible enough to navigate pipe bends while being gentle on metal and PVC surfaces, so it should not scratch typical plumbing finishes. The reinforced microhook aims to hold captured material securely rather than tearing free. Because the wand is manual and reusable, it represents an economical way to address recurring hair clogs without frequent use of corrosive chemicals. Consider that for very compact or deeply seated blockages involving solid objects or calcification, a professional drain service or a powered auger may be more effective according to the manufacturer.
