Customer Reviews for RIDGID Kwik-Spin+ ¼ in. x 25 ft. Drain Cleaning Snake Auger with Autofeed Trigger for Kitchen/Bath Sinks and Tubs/Showers

Used it one time.. it didn’t auto feed and the spring got bent after 5 minutes so now it won’t go through the pipe and I still have a clogged drain.

I had a grease clog in basement under kitchen sink and snaked it clear. Ran hot soapy water after and clog cleared like brand new.

It works perfectly and get the job done!

Very easy to use and it works very well. Used it to clear a bathtub drain. Unscrewed and took off the overflow cap and put the snake down, followed the easy instructions and it pulled up a wad of scummy hair and soap

This snake did not autofeed, I had to pull/push it by hand. It also says to air dry before storage to avoid rusting. I let it air dry and it was already rusted by the next morning.

This isn't the best of the best but it gets the job done. I handled a few clogs with this and it works okay. The lock mechanism could be stronger and feeding while spinning takes two. For occasional DIY use it is great, but I wouldn't want to use this everyday.

Used this twice for homeowner use then picked up unit by the handle and the drum unit fell off. Sure don't make products like they used to.

I used this twice then while carrying by the handle it separated from the drum. The whole handle assembly is press fit onto the drum and held in place using a washer with spring tabs that lock onto the tapered drum shaft. I pushed it back together but it does not hold. I even took the handle assembly apart and flattened the spring steel washer/tabs but still slips off the drum assembly. It is still usable but thought Ridged would make something more durable.

Will not retract. Looked good in the store. Worked in the store. Took it home, unwound it the full 25 feet and now cable will not retract. So now I have 25 feet of cable stuck in my drain. I hate this product and now I hate this company. Will never buy a Ridgid product again.

This Tool was easy to use and did the job. The hold design on the snake was very good.I would recommend this tool to have around.

I bought it a few days ago, used for clean kitchen sink, it worked well, I have rent one last year to clean my same kitchen sin, so this is my second time, I have gained enough experience how to use and how to judge the quality of the drain cleaner. This one is well designed, very easy to use, also it come with life time warranty, so I chose it and it worked as my expect. I trust Rigid, don't want to be disappointed.

Hard to press lever and turn the crank at the same time. After 5 feet, it stops with no resistance indicating blockage and came out clean. But you been cranking forever thinking it's moving when it's not! Tried to recoil and start over but 3 feet won't go back in!!!!!! Total junk product!!!

This product did not work at all for me. I assume the problem is I had a 2-3” pipe that was plugged. Only after I opened the package, was the information that this product was as to be used in pipe sizes 1-1/2 and smaller. Had this information been on the outside of the package, I would not have purchased. Home Depot’s liberal return policy was appreciated when I returned the purchase.

So weak it didn't help

Couldn't get this item to work correctly. It said it had an option to automatically retract but could not get it to work.

The RIDGID Kwik Spin Drain Cleaning Snake Auger that I recently bought definitely did the job, but its a slow and tedious process. I'd go with a model that connects to a drill if I had know. Happy to have my sink draining though.

Simple to use (extend and retract).

Screw the Clinton Home Depot. They sell junk and then the water cooler melon pickers that work there won't take it back. Don't buy anything from this store. This thing sucked. Incapable of doing the job. Junk. Ghetto trash store. Screw the Clinton Home Depot. Eat my Richard.

Good cable, worth the money.

Product is difficult to deploy and retract.

Really ineffective. Hard to grip. Once snake coil was out of the housing it was almost impossible to get back in. Had to push it in manually. Then it wouldn't stay in. Too much effort needed to hold trigger. Hard to crank. Awkward to hold. Broke on first use within an hour of purchase. Returned.

Literally broke in the first ten minutes completely unspooled itself and never went back in place
