1/4 in. x 25 ft. Power Drum Auger

Have had a number of this style units. I felt that using my Milwaukee drill and this snake could cure a drain clog. In my opinion I felt the clog was close to the P-trap and clean out plug. I found the snake easy to handle while feeding it into the pipe. More so I did not have a problem retracting the snake back into the containment housing. On a 1 to 10 scale this Husky Power Drum gets a 9.75 in my opinion.

Our bathtub drain was clogged and we tried the cheap plastic snake things that led to even worse clogging. We ran to home depot and bought this and it worked perfectly. It took us less than 10 minutes to get all the disgusting hair out. Excellent value!

This drill snake does the job for all household drain clog jobs!! Great husky qulaity. Will definately reccomend this product

I suspect we saved ourselves a $200+ plumber call. This auger works and it works well. We had a stubborn clog well-beyond the trap and my usual tricks with boiling water and a plunger were proving fruitless. As others have alluded, the lock is not the best design but if you press it down firmly it will lock the cable so you can crank the cable and the auger head - or use your drill to turn it with more force and speed. I took the trap apart to gain access to the PVC drain directly. I encountered resistance after feeding a considerable amount of cable into the drain line and used the my driver to slowly turn the cable, working it back and forth until the resistance was no longer apparent. Upon retrieving the cable there was evidence or hard, waxy build-up in the auger head itself, a good 15 feet or so beyond the wall tube. The drain moves freely now. Pretty happy with this sub-$30 purchase.

I am very happy with this purchase. Performed as hoped for. The added feature of using it with a drill (cordless) is perfect when you are auguring out a distance, up to 25 feet. So, don't hesitate purchasing this product if, you have need for it. Great value, great performance, great price, and backed by Home Depot. Thank You HD!

Always try this first before you use any chemicals. It was a little confusing to use at first with the handle but it's a pretty good one.

My shower was draining slowly and I tried to power flush it out with my garden hose and a power nozzle attached but it did not work. I ended up buying this auger because I could use my drill to power it. My hope was to either push the clog thru the drain or to be able to pull the clog out of the drain hooked on the end of the cable. Using my drill I tried twice to push the clog thru the drain running the auger in counter clockwise direction per the instructions but that did not work. I then switched the drill to run in the clockwise direction running it few revolutions to try to get the auger to screw into the clog so I could pullout the clog when I removed the cable. As you can see from the pictures when I pulled out the cable I caught a big clog. I am so glad I have PVC sewer pipes as pulling that clog from old cast iron sewer pipe may have been difficult. I used the auger by myself and I am sure it would be much easier to use with two people one person to run the drill and the second person to feed the auger cable down into the drain. The one thing I had an issue with was the quick-release cable lock which frequently unlocked while I was trying to walk the cable into the drain. Other than quick-release cable lock I have no issues with this auger especially when it saved me from having to call a plumber.

Had a clogged tub drain, drain cleaner did not help anymore I bought this auger the best 27 bucks I ever spent the clog was 3 to 4 feet in, followed the directions that came with it, said to run the drill slow and in REVERSE my drain has never drained this well, great product worth every penny.

First time ive ever used and owned an auger. I used my drill with it and learned that if you use your drill at a steady pace and not like your drilling holes the drum is very cooperative. Probably saved myself a solid $150 unclogging my shower drain myself instead of calling a plumber. Just becareful not to have your fingers close to the silver release button thats right behind the cable head and everything should be smooth well worth the price

works well and cleared my plugged drains the drill attachment is way better than the old school hand crank
