EASY To Use DIY Friendly Drain Cleaner!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Begin by assessing the clogged sink. The video shows standing water, indicating a complete blockage. Note any signs of chemical drain cleaner (like Green Gobbler Industrial Clog Dissolver Gel) being used, as this implies a need for caution due to potential chemical residue. Introduce the primary tool: a Rigid Power Spin Plus drain snake, which is highlighted for its DIY-friendly features including a manual hand crank and a trigger-feed mechanism for the cable. It also has a removable handle to attach a power drill for increased efficiency.

Goal: The first step involves identifying the severity of the drain clog and gathering the necessary tools, including a drain snake, and preparing for chemical residue if previous attempts to clear the drain were made with chemical dissolvers.

What they say

Hide

My sister in-law called, said she's got a stopped-up sink. We are completely stopped up at this point. There is standing water and there's a bottle of Green Klobber, Green Gobbler. So, we're going to pop the P-trap off the bottom of this. I got this Ridgid Power Spin Plus right here. For a DIY homeowner friendly situation, this is what you're going to want right. No mess. It's got a hand crank. You can see right here and then you can hold this trigger right here down and it's going to either go forward or go back. I usually only like to go forward. If you have a drill, you can pop this handle right here off. Grab yourself a drill like this awesome little 12-V stubby by Milwaukee right in here like so. Get that clicked on. Now, we have a power snake. This bad boy is going to go smooth, quick, easy. So, come along. Let's get to fixing.
