What happens here

Extend the drain snake cable a few inches from the tool. Carefully insert the end of the snake into the horizontal drain pipe leading into the wall. Once the snake is inside the pipe, activate the drill (or hand crank) to feed the cable forward. Simultaneously, press the trigger on the drain snake tool to allow the cable to rotate and advance, working it through the pipe until it encounters and breaks through the clog. You may need to pull the snake back slightly to clear any binding and then re-feed it forward until the clog is cleared.

Goal: Insert the drain snake into the wall drain pipe and operate it to reach and break through the clog, feeding and retracting the cable as needed.

What they say

Hide

that first initial portion cleaned out. Okay, starting to bind up a little bit. Pull the snake out to clear the bind, work it back in until you get it going. So, now we're running pretty good here. I like to run all the cable out of the snake and clean it out here. I don't like to reverse the snake. So, what we're going to do here is I'm just going to grab some paper. I'm going to start pulling this back so I can clean it while I'm pulling it back. If you could run some water in this situation, you would want to. I unfortunately cannot. I don't have my whole set up here. That's okay. Just get it as clean as you can. Oh, it definitely went down, which is good cuz I can hear it below me. Just kind of trying to clean this
