Sink/pipe drain cleaner 5mm by 10m

• 5mm Diameter: This relatively thin cable is ideal for navigating the narrow and often curvy pipes found in most sinks and bathtubs. It’s thin enough to fit through most drain openings and P-traps.
• 10m Length: A 10-meter length provides ample reach for most household clogs, including those further down the pipe or in the main branch lines from sinks or showers. This is a good general-purpose length for residential use.

How a Drain Snake/Auger Works:

A drain snake (also called a plumbing snake or auger) consists of a long, flexible metal cable with a small corkscrew-like or hooked tip at the end. You feed the cable into the drain, and when it encounters a clog, you either crank a handle (for manual versions) or use an electric motor (for power augers) to rotate the cable. This rotation allows the tip to:

• Break up the clog: For soft clogs like grease or food particles.
• Hook onto the clog: Especially effective for hair clogs, allowing you to pull them out.
• Push through the clog: Creating a pathway for water to flow again.
