What Customers Are Saying

The Cobra flat tape sewer rod is a useful tool for clearing clogged drains and sewer lines. Many customers found it effective at removing blockages, especially in straight pipes, and appreciated its compact design. However, some reported issues when dealing with bends or turns in the pipes, and the plastic housing was seen as a potential weak point. Overall, it is a budget-friendly option for basic drain clearing, but may not be suitable for more complex plumbing problems.

Works great!

Would Recommend

Make sure you are getting the right tool for the right job. This works well on plumbing without a lot of curves and bends. I had trouble making right/angle turns The round spiral one works a little better.

Dirty Job

Would Recommend

This worked great, but it was a little aggravating trying to get it back in the case after I pulled it all the way out.

Well designed drain unclogger

Would Recommend

This product has an ingenious design that stores to tape. I is very easy to use, study and flexible enough to make it through elbows in your pipes.

Works but for how long?

Would Recommend

Bought the Cobra sewer snake to clean out the dryer vent that goes through my foundation. It did the job. The plastic casing seems to be a little week for the rod. Not sure how many uses before it splits open. Otherwise I like it.

Next best thing to jetting

Would Recommend

Had a blocked up main line sewer. Tried the old fashion spring tip snake with no success. Saw this and decided to give it a try. Worked like a champ, would highly recommend for hair, grease and the normal everyday clogs. Probably not going to work for root intrusion.

Great buy

We had a plumber come out and fix a backed up sewage line. Cost about $300 all total. I went to Lowe's to pick up a plastic sewer cap (so that the water flooding would push it off instead of back into our house). Guy there told me he used to work for city of Coppell and said I need to use this machine next time. I've had to use it three or four times since so it's paid for itself many times over.

Not to go through a multiple 90's

Would Recommend

Bought an older home, that had been empty for a decade. had a main-line stoppage. Lifted only toilet in house and tried this. Couldn't get it through trap and another 90 down-line. Have done plumbing for years, so also bought a snake machine.

money well spent

Would Recommend

After unsuccessfully trying the 50ft coil snakeon the main line, I gave this a shot. It took some effort but after 10-15 minutes the clog broke. Still much quicker and cheaper than calling a plumber. Well worth the money.
