Clear Clogged Drains with a Flexible Barbed Tool

Mystery Tool Bin Monday: Tools Not For Me
What happens here
The third tool is a flexible, barbed plastic strip designed to clear clogs from drains. To use it, carefully feed the narrow, flexible end of the tool down the drain opening, pushing it past any pop-up stoppers and into the P-trap (the U-shaped pipe beneath the sink). The tool is specifically designed to snake through the bends of the plumbing. Once you feel resistance or believe you've reached the clog, slowly pull the tool back up and out of the drain. The small, sharp barbs along its length will effectively snag and pull out accumulated hair, soap scum, and other debris, clearing the blockage and restoring proper drainage. Remember to dispose of the retrieved, often unpleasant, material properly.
