COBRA PRODUCTS CO 00710 Skinny Snake Drain Cleaner, Black

My bathroom sink was running slow, and I knew I needed to snake the drain, so first I tried some gel Clog Remover, but this just condensed the clog to the point that the sink would not drain, nothing but standing water, full of dangerous chemicals. I didn't want to remove the J-trap just yet, so I bought the Cobra Enterprises 00710 Skinny Snake Drain Cleaner, which arrived the next day. I already have a drain snake, but it is too big to fit through my bathroom sink strainer. The Skinny Snake has 1/8" diameter, so it fit right into my sink strainer. I fed the snake down the drain a few inches at a time, locked and then slowly turned the unit, repeating until I got about 5 feet of coil out, after which the sink drained instantly. I pulled the snake out and put it away. I think now the drain is actually draining better than it ever has.

This is an excellent tool! Not a toy. The snake on this unit is well-made, very thin and will go places no other product I have found will go. I just used it to clean out the drain holes on the moon roof of my car when using wire or Weed Eater cord would not clean out the tubes. I’m keeping this because I know I will need it again for something. Again, this is a very well-made product for a very inexpensive price. A++++++++

Cleared my kitchen sink drain pipe in 1 minute.Takes some effort to push the cable back into the handle.

Brand new it didn't work BEFORE FIRST USE! You're supposed to be able to rotate the ribbed base from the curved smooth grip in order to spin the cable. It didn't. It's totally freezed up solid with zero rotation and I'm a 5'11" healthy male with ample ability in this regard to rotate it. Want full refund! You can have this quality control testing disgrace back. I've ZERO use for it. Frustrated!

This is the coolest pipe snake ever. It is small and portable. Plenty sturdy and strong. Easy yo use. I have uncloged 4 bathtubs, 4 sinks, one shower, one kitchen sink, and it has saved a lot of headaches. So I recommend buying one and just not loaning it to anyone because they never return. If I had to pay a plumber for everything I have done so far it would have cost a fortune this tool has already paid for itself. A great value for my money absolutely.

After reading some other reviews I decided to try this to get my tub drain unclogged.Other reviews mentioned that the body doesn’t turn, it’s not ment to turn. The seam is from assembly where the parts are held together by rivets.It does not coil inside itself very easily, the best way I found was starting the first wrap and then flipping it up on the end and slowly feeding it inside itself so it can’t come shooting out the back.All in all, it worked to clean the drain. The easiest way is to make sure you only have 4-6 inches sticking out at a time from the drain to the tool. The thumb screw slips easy so you have to crank it down pretty tight.

My sunroof drains are clear, no more water inside the car after rain!

Used this within minutes of arrival. Feeds right into drain of my tub without having to remove anything on the drain. It's best to feed approximately 6 inches at a time, tighten thumb screw and then turn the entire body of the housing while pushing gently into drain until you need more snake. Then continue repeating this procedure until it won't feed any further into drain. That's usually when you've reached the clog. At that point pull it all back out of drain. You may have to fight to pull the clog out through the narrow drain opening, but as you can see it works. Fixed a stubborn clog in about 15 minutes. Those saying turn it like a screwdriver are correct. 6 inches of snake and spin and push. Anything more than that at one time and it won't turn the "corners" of your plumbing because of too much slack in the snake.This thing exceeded my expectations. I figured for 10 bucks it was worth a try. Because it's a narrow snake I suspect it'll kink after a few uses but at this price, I'll buy replacements as needed if that does happen.
