Ratings & Reviews for Cobra 1/2-in dia x 40-ft L Flat rod Machine Augers

Really did the job

Auger worked great, really did the job. I would definitely pickup again.

This works great for the price!

I had a blocked sink drain in the kitchen now I don’t!!

On the Clearance rack

For the price, could not pass this deal up. In case of an emergency, it is good to have a Sewer Snake on hand.

Works well on a 4 inch sewer clog.

The self storing feature is very convenient to keep things tidy on the work truck.

Not great for sinks but probably fine for main

The snake only bends in one direction unlike traditional snakes. It is also a little hard to grab and turn since it is flat.

Worked for my purpose

This is a sewer tape designed to push / clear out solids and for what I had to do worked well. Going around 3" pvc 90 was ok but would not make it around a T. ( no fault of the product)

Unlike other plumber's snakes

I really like the way this plumber's snake works. It is easier to handle that the others I have used.

Good quality

Just as described. Well made and believe it will hold up a long time.

Needs an immediate modification

The tape and head are well made. One major design flaw was the spear like tip that came to a point. Initially the tip got caught on any joint connection and would not go past the first 90. I took a pair of pliers and cut about 1/4 inch off of the tip and ran 38 feet through the lines no problem. The reel mechanism is cheaply made but does the job.

Cobra stick saved me

The Cobra stick was good, i was recommended any female to keep one of these around the house it's a life saver.

Great for small blockage, not for roots. I Like how it rolls up.

it lasted 10 minutes

I had a pretty hard clog. I used this drain snake, and the plastic tip broke off, and I couldnt get it to retract back i to the housing. Luckily Lowes has a very fair return Policy.

It broke

Thankfully we won't need it since it broke as soon as my husband finished using it. It should be made better for what it's used for...

Perfect for the job

I would classify this as a light to medium duty snake. The metal band bends a little easier than I was hoping, but that only meant that I had to work the clog for a little longer. I did have to re-thread it back into the carrier, which isn’t easy, but that isn’t a foul on the tool. Just a foul on me pulling the band out farther than I needed to. Only con is the plastic tip won’t take to much to damage. If you have a packed clog....it may not make it through...

Did what expected

Tool did what I expected it to do. It poked thru the clog by entering in thru garden tub clean out for my clean out auger to get thru the clog and remove it! Note this tool is sturdy enough to go thru most clogs but is only intended to poke thru not clean out, due to it only having an arrow head ripe auger tip! The reel is a little flimsy due to it being made of plastic but if you take your time reeling it up you will not have many issues!
