Sorry if youre perplexed. I know its not an easy choice! But its one of the most crucial choices youll ever make. If youre still unsure which type of drain snake for drill is best for you, I recommend comparing the characteristics and functionalities of the drain snake for drill listed above.

Therefore, we have taken the time to compile a list of the top drain snake products on the market, for your benefit, so that you dont need to worry.

Drain snakes can be broadly split into two categories: powered drain snakes and manual drain snakes. Clogs that respond best to the metal corkscrew end of the drain snake are clogs that can easily be snagged. Hair clogs are easily snagged by drain snakes. Cooking fat and other soft substances will not catch the corkscrew unless that debris also happens to have hair embedded in it.If you are going the snake route, make sure you're using a Toilet Auger and consider running a drain cleaner through first to break up the debris if your pipes are metal. If they're polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), use hot water to do the same thing as the chemicals in the cleaner can damage the material. Keep extending the cable into the drain and employ an augering motion – if you encounter the clog, rotate the metal cable to force it into the clog and break it up. Be careful to go gently when you do this though; if you push too hard, you could damage your pipes if they're PVC or even your Plumber's Snake.
