Amtech S1895 Flexible Drain Auger & Waste Pipe Unblocker

Arrived two days (Ireland) later. Quality build. Does the job of unblocking the drain really well. Very easy to use and I clean it with equal part washing up liquid and thick bleach in a 5 litter bucket of water. The grease came off very easily. Highly reccommended.

OK, it's worth checking what you want this for. We had a blocked toilet (mini sweetcorn cob went down) and rodding the main drain didn't help because the blockage was in the u-bend. So I bought this and within 10 minutes of it arriving, it worked and my toilet is back to normal, saving me £100s on pumbing fees AND meaning that we have enough toilets for the guests arriving in the next few days -- so for me, this would be 5 stars EXCEPT it does scrape the enamel in the toilet bowl (someone else has posted a picture of theirs, that I see now). Ours is white, and now has metallic scratches in it. For us this time, no problem, because it's an old toilet in a utility. But for a nice bathroom or a new toilet... you might need a sleeve, or gentler rod, or something else maybe. Other points... Pro: cheap, came quickly, totally managed to bend around the u-bend, did the job, saved the day. Con: scratches enamel, and washing it is gross and fiddly because it's a spring full of gunk. Tip: is a bit bendy and whippy so you have to have a firm hand on it to steer it, and pull it out slowly when you're done if you don't want it to whip around flinging gunk. Overall it's a good bit of kit, and I'll be keeping it to use in the utility if ever needed again, but if my smart new main family bathroom toilet needs it, I'll be looking for something less scratchy. Good. Four stars.

Worked perfectly and cleared the blockage. Easy to use and clean

This is narrow enough to be used in a variety of drains but not quite stiff enough for use in a toilet. The end is also too floppy to remove anything remotely substantial. I found it kept turning back on itself.

Finally used this after being quoted £144.00 for a plumber visit to rod the drain after kitchen sink and bathroom sink became blocked. Identified drain access point under the sink and used this bad boy. Cleaned in an instant and both sinks drain freely. Best £11.99 I've spent. A sturdy and well made product that's easy to use.

A very good drain clearer, however, I bent the drain end bit sideways a little to help clean the pipe sides better. That also helped get the head around bends too.

Rubbish product. Wasted money on a product that did not work, the material was flimsy and regardless of which way handle/coil was turned the product came back out of the drain, had to get professional plumber to come instead. Poor product.

I recently tried out the Amtech S1890 Waste Pipe and Drain Unblocker, and I have mixed feelings about it. On the positive side, it did manage to clear the blockage in my drain after a bit of effort. However, I must admit that using this unblocker wasn't as straightforward as I had hoped. The design seems a bit tricky to navigate, and it took some trial and error to figure out the best way to use it effectively. Once I got the hang of it, the unblocker did work reasonably well, and I appreciate that it saved me from having to call a plumber.

Semble très solide, capable d'entrer facilement dans n'importe quelle conduite à partir d'une quinzaine de millimètres. Mon tuyau a été débouché en quelques minutes. Parfait donc, je recommande

Very Good Product

Funciona, economico y práctico.

Puo sempre servire, un attrezzo per sturare anche a distanza dal ingresso del lavandino. Risolve problemi senza chiamare l idraulico evitando lunghe attese e conti salati

Al menos en mi caso, resultado 100% satisfactorio. Yo lo he usado a partir del sifón del desagüe de la cocina y así entra a la perfección. Bien en alguna curva o bien en el tapón que producía el atasco ha costado un poco seguir avanzando, pero retorciendo la guía y retrocediendo un poco y volviendo a insistir en 10 minutos tenía el atasco liberado... llegando a estar los 5m de la guía completamente metidos en la cañería. Aprovechando su fácil uso he comprobado también los desagües del lavavajillas, de la lavadora y de la ducha.
