    I’m a shit plumber though and the hand-cranked version took me hours to get into position. Had to call a real plumber and he got right in there with his big motorized one.

    But yeah you’re correct, they both do the same thing; it just works better if you are spinning it while advancing it so that the bulb tip grabs onto the mess instead of just pushing it further down the pipe.

    I was fighting potato peels though. Don’t put them in the garbage disposal. Lesson learned, I suppose. Also, fuck garbage disposals.

      If you have a battery hand drill the snakes that attach to those are worth the extra $30-$40 bucks.

      Yeah if you’re stuffing potato peels or coffee…

      Usually I’m just dealing with some grease or hair and the hand one has always been enough.
