Asked by Kelly on 11th Apr 2022Best Answer
"Hi Kelly
A plumber's snake or drain snake is a slender, flexible auger used to dislodge clogs in plumbing. The plumber's snake is often reserved for difficult clogs that cannot be loosened with a plunger. It is also sometimes called a toilet jack."
"Hi, there is a Plumber's Snake.
Is used to unblock drains that are hard to access, it can go around corners due to its flexible nature in order to fix issues in tight spots.
Easy to use but do be careful not to push it in too far and lose your end."
"Hi, it’s basically like a long spring that you push down the pipe to clear blockages."
