 stinks October 19, 2009

This drain cleaning tool doesn't work. The main problem is that it is too stiff and unflexible to get through and past the trap. I guess if your problem is just underneath the stopper it might work.
 Wow! Amazing! October 8, 2009

Used it for the first time and it did exactly what it was supposed to do. Cleared the bathroom drain. Just push it down to the handle and pull it out. It couldn't be any simpler or faster. As one reviewer suggested, keep a plastic bag handy to throw it away. We spent a couple weeks pouring organic enzyme based drain products with no luck. Highly recommend this non-toxic method to clear drains.
Highly recommend this product September 14, 2009

This is an awesome product. We have a shower drain that chronically clogs. Chemical drain openers only keep the drain clear for a couple weeks. The zipit must clear more of the blockage because it now takes at least a month before the drain needs unclogging again. I love that there is one less chemical we need to keep in the house.
Just a great product! September 10, 2009

I've been plagued with slow draining bathroom sink drains for years. I've used caustic chemicals with no relief. I ordered the Cobra Zip-It Drain tools last week and I am sure glad I did!
The tool goes down the drain very easily, just like the instructions. You don't have to remove the pop-up drain plug, if you have one. You have to have a strong stomach for what it brings up! Some people may throw away after one use, but the tool cleans very easily under a strong flow of water (I use my kitchen sink because we have a strong garbage disposal.
Now both my bathroom drains perform just like the day I bought the house new. Don't fall for the TV ads for the mini-snake.

I saw an ad on TV for the "turbo snake" that got me hunting down something similar here on Amazon. First up, don't buy the turbo snake from its online site, or on the phone. Like all these pitchman products they slaughter you with the S&H, and you can do much better here on Amazon. The turbo snake, like this product and many other variations on Amazon are basically a thick flexible nylon or plastic strip around 18" long that have some kind of teeth at the end designed to grab and extract the hair and gunk that gets caught in the trap of bathroom sinks and tubs. Most of the products you will see here on Amazon,(including the turbo snake) claim they are for one application only. (Something they fail to mention at all in their infomercial). Be advised this is a gray area. ALL the products of this type can be used more than once if you have a strong stomach, or are just plain cheap. The reason why drain cleaners such as these tell you to toss it out after each use is because the prickly system of teeth employed at the business end that is responsible for grabbing the hair and gunk is very hard to clean. The teeth tend to hold on to its yucky prize most tenaciously. You will be forced to use your fingers diligently to dislodge the crap, which a lot of folks will cringe at. And in the course of the cleaning you may get carried away and break a few of the sensitive teeth, thus making it a little less efficient each time. Still however, if you're willing to do this, and or feel that a little disgusting chore comes about easier than $$$, you can accomplish it and use each of these tools at least a couple of more times. The other reason why products such as these tell you to throw them away is because after each use the flexible rod gets bent and twisted a little, thus a tad harder to operate. Not impossible or greatly damaged, but a little misshapen. Certainly not does it get so bent out of shape after one application that it becomes useless to be sure. One has to decide for oneself if they want to use this tool once and buy in multiple units, or perform the disgusting deed. As for the tools effectiveness, let me say first off that I have owned 3 different versions of this type of unclogger and have found them all to be of great use in getting to the clog and effectively extracting the crap. There is only a very small or moderate difference in all of them. Mainly in the design of the teeth. All of these tools are designed for clogs at the trap, and very close to the sink or tub. That means they are unfortunately a little short, around 18 to 20 inches, and designed only to turn the corner of a bend in the sink and that's it. If you suspect your clog is a little deeper, you will either have to purchase a longer snake, or call a dreaded professional. Other than that, this product, and all of them I have tried like them are both very effective, AND reusable if you are willing and accept the terms described beforehand. I cannot recommend any one over the other since all of them seem to be equally effective despite the small differences in design. My only recommendation would be that if you are going to be one that passes up on the squeamish cleaning and use once, buy several of them at a time and make the shipping charge worth it. Trust me, these little tools work much better and are far easier than removing a trap underneath a sink or tub to get at a clog. Which for me, always and relentlessly no matter how careful I am or how much I tighten it, means they leak forever more...
