Tools and Hardware Reviews of Turbo Snake - Plumber's Quality - 2 Units Included! - As Seen On TvCustomer Review: Effective up to a point (and under certain conditions) Summary: 3 Stars
I bought a 2 pack of this product which actually turned out to be the "plumber's quality" green packages. The site I purchased them from (1saleaday.com) pictured the item as the original red packages. The first time I attempted to use the product, it didn't really do anything. The drain in my tub is not completely stopped up; it is just slow-moving so when I shower I end up standing in about 5" of water or "end up taking a bath" as in the commercial. So then I resorted to my old method of chemical drain cleaner. Surprisingly, unlike past experiences, this didn't have much of an effect either. I suppose I've tolerated the situation for too long so it would take more than 2/3 a bottle to take care of the problem. On a whim, I decided to try the turbo snake again, and it actually pulled out a lot of hair! (It was soaked with the chemical cleaner even though I had run a lot of water afterward to flush the drain.) I've got hard water, so I guess the chemical cleaner was able to dissolve some of the hard build-up that the snake could not penetrate before, but not the hair. The problem is that in "cleaning" the tip of the turbo snake so I could pull out more hair, it came off. Happened with both of the snakes in the same session. So my shower is still slow-draining, but the clog is smaller now, I guess. I'm wondering if I would have more luck with the "original" turbo snake since the "plumber's quality" does advertise removable "disposable cleaning heads." It wasn't as easy as just putting the head back on to remove more hair as by then the pulling action and slight resistance from the hair was enough to remove the head completely while still in the drain. Happened once but I was able to retrieve it, so that was the end of my attempt to clear my drain. What I find odd is that item description refers to "disposable cleaning heads," but I don't see them for sale anywhere.
