Cool Invention For Unclogging Drains! : Cobra Products 400 Zip-It Drain Cleaning Tool
It only costs a few dollars so there is not much to lose if it doesn't work.
Zip It may not work for bathtub drains.
Zip It does not work for deep clogs (even in a sink).
Zip It is a nightmare to get the Zip It to go Down instead of Up the drain of a bathtub and is too short to reach the clog if using the overflow drain.
Zip It will not work if the clog is something the diminutive spikes cannot catch (like something too soapy or greasy)
Zip It may not work if your older home has a separate pipe set up
Zip It is weak and bends easily. This may be why it sometimes takes awhile (up to 15 minutes according to one reviewer or not at all) to get the Zip it nearby or through some clogs to grab it.
To be fair, this bathtub clog defied not just the Zip It but 6 types of plungers: 2 separate rubber type/sizes and 4 separate types of plastic accordion type plungers purchased from a plumbers website. Yes the overflow outlet was covered securely while plunging. One of the accordion plungers loosened the clog but also pushed it added down the drain. Clr Power Plumber pushed the clog down added also but did not clear it.
Drano was already known to be worthless from years past experience so going the natural route, a Huge box of baking soda, gallon of vinegar and boiling hot water was poured into the bathtub drain Twice. Lot of steam and foam but no dice on the clog.
Driven by desperation, it was back to Home Depot and they only supplied a few plungers already used. There was a man with a plumber firm shirt on in the aisle and I asked him what to do short of calling a plumber. He picked up a bottle of Instant Power Hair & Grease drain cleaner from Scotch Corporation.
The bathtub drained almost immediately. precisely no problems since.
