About This Product

The MILWAUKEE® TRAPSNAKE™ 6 ft. Toilet Auger offers a breakthrough in protection, ease of use, and durability over every toilet auger that exists today. Milwaukee® toilet auger features several industry-firsts, including a fixed rubber boot for maximum porcelain protection, an integrated locking mechanism that holds the cable in place for easy telescoping extension, and replaceable cables to maximize the longevity of the tool.

Toilet Auger to MILWAUKEE® M12™ TRAPSNAKE™ Driver, the first powered unit optimized for the challenges of porcelain fixtures. This Milwaukee® toilet snake delivers power and speed to work through tough clogs in tight traps but has optimized electronics that protect the fixture from the auger and allow the user to feel when engaged with a blockage.

Hi Chris- This drain snake is ideal for toilets and floor traps.

    You may be able to make it work, but I’d suggest a more traditional snake. The J bend in the end of this tool is really best suited for toilets.

      My snake apparently detached from the rod and some spring is rattling around. It will not work anymore. Same issue as everyone else. How do I fix it?

      I would call the people that delivered it installed it and accepted your payment with a smile. When you call them back tell them it's OK, because I need a new one because Itsbroken. No matter where you go, there you are. Good luck.

        Maybe the extension isn't seated in the rod?

              Instead of using the single purpose power handle, can a cordless drill work on this? Does it fit in a regular drill chuck or have an adapter you can get for it to work? The handle will probably work 95% of time, but for those times when a little extra power is nice to have, being able to use my drill would be nice. I dont need to buy any more single use power tools, no more space for them...

              The handle is removable and you can use a impact driver to operate the snake. For what it’s worth I think the handle does fine without needing a power tool

                A standard drill with the right attachment will work

                Handle just snaps in, looks like you might be able to use a bit and low powered drill if needed instead of handle.

                        Unclogged my toilet in minutes!
                        My youngest kid had flushed a tube of toothpaste down one of my toilets before I could stop him. After using a drain snake, removing the toilet, and even having one of my other kids try to reach in and clear it, I was still unsuccessful. After a few minutes of using the toilet auger, I was able to hook the tube of toothpaste, pull it out and clear the clog.

                          Why did I not get this tool sooner?
                          Wow so quick and easy to deploy and recover. Prior cleaning using old school trap cleaners took time and left marks on the porcelain. Never again less then 8 minutes and done. Really an amazing tool, like a wizard to make clogs vanish. Upgrade your tools and get back to the future.

                            This is a really nice product
                            Milwaukee put some time and effort into this snake. One can tell upon inspection that their developers took into account customer feedback along with simply providing a product that almost anyone can use and not just trained plumbers. I ran it through my toilet to test out the product and get a feel how easy it is to use it. I had no issues and I was able to extend the snake all the way through. Everything worked as I expected and I was able to manipulate the auger. What I like: • The protective rubber boot at the bottom does a good job of protecting the porcelain. If you mess up and create a small scratch some fine grit sandpaper will normally fix it. • It’s quality all around. Nothing feels cheap. It also has good grips making it easier to handle when you need to get more aggressive. • The lock mechanism works well. It never slipped. • The unit is easy enough to clean. • Cables are replaceable if needed. • M12 Trap Snake Driver can be added later if you want to buy and automate the unit. Keep in mind the included auger handle works just fine also. • Easy to use and manipulate through the toilet trap. I couldn’t find any issues nor do I have any negative feedback. It’s just a really nice unit at a reasonable price. The Milwaukee products are typically made very well so I would expect a long life cycle out of this. I recommend.

                            This snake is far superior to the one it replaced. I like the ability to replace snake part when needed. It is also easier to clear the toilet.
