What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this drain snake for quickly clearing clogs and eliminating expensive plumber bills, with many reporting success within minutes and savings of $100-$300. The compact design and easy storage receive frequent praise. However, many note difficulty navigating pipe bends and elbows, citing the plastic spear tip as a limitation. Several report durability concerns with plastic components breaking or the housing separating during use. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider it a reliable, affordable solution for household drain issues.

Ehh

The snake is very easy to use. However it was not sturdy enough when out at length, well at least not for any serious clog/blockage. I would recommend it for use in most other cases.

Cobra Plastic Drain Stick

Would Recommend

The unit worked as intended, however, the plastic housing where the handle is molded is weak and can separate making it difficult to reel the stick back in.

did the job

Would Recommend

While this drain cleaner did the job, I should have bought the more expensive model made with heavier steel stock

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.

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.

Didn't work for what I needed

Would Not Recommend

We bought this to unclog a garage drain. Although we did end up getting about 5 gallons of rocks and nut hulls out of the drain (squirrels), the drain is still clogged. It doesn't spin in the drain as easily as the snakes that are made out of round spring style tubes.

Before buying read carefully

Would Recommend

Specifically states: Clears sewer outlets, stack vents and storm gutters. Note this is not for toilets, not for sinks or tubs. A lot of people are leaving negative comments about use of this product on other than the recommended uses. Bottom line for use on sewer outlets, stack vents, storm gutters the product works great. My only con is the plastic head, which is easily remedied by switching out the head.
