These handy little tools might be awesome but be prepared for the wicked mess that comes out. These plastic drain snakes definitely work but be prepared because that mess that’s going in for years is going to be quite intense when it finally gets pulled out. There are many variations of the drain snake but this Drain Weasel seems to do the trick.
Key Takeaways:
- The Drain Weasel Plus is like a little plastic auger that you use to drill down into your drain.
- The Drain Weasel Plus is marketed as ‘reusable’.
- On a test trial, the Drain Weasel Plus worked well unclogging a tub but performed poorly unclogging a sink.
“When you insert the snake into the drain and start winding the crank, you want the wand to make a sweeping motion around the perimeter of the drain.”
