MEISTERFAKTUR drain snake 2.0 [50 FT] - with drill attachment - Ideal plumbing snake for sink and drain unblocking - Solid drain auger for real DYIs!

This is a very well-built quality product. It works great and got the job done on the first try. No issues with handling it during use and while retracting the auger afterwards. With proper use, cleanup, and storage, this thing should last for many years. Shame on local stores for not carrying something like this and for anywhere near its cost.

This is a 49' snake and I had a hard time finding them without going into the commercial sized machines. It hooked up to my power drill and I was able to snake through my plumbing system to break the clog. I had a similar tool from a big box store that was only 25' and it did not reach. This snake's has a 4 inch flexible tip that made it so easy to get around the bends in the drain. The snake from lowes only had a 1inch tip and it would jam up and you needed the drill to turn it through every one and then it didn't reach the problem area. My only concern is the 1/4inch line is stored into a metal container not sure what kind of metal it is not aluminium so if you don't clean and dry the line when you store it you may have rust issues. All in all for the price this is a great 49 foot snake.

This works great, unclogged my kitchen and main sewage line. Manual labor sucks with cranking nob , but thank God for drill adapter. I recommend if your on a low budget like me. The 50ft was just right 👍

Product is cheap and doesn’t work well. It completely broke during first use

First time buying and using a drain snake auger. I went with this one because of the mixture of price and features. This auger features a steel drum. While there could be potential rust issues with the steel I felt that the sturdier construction would be handy over plastic.The first thing I did was to remove the wingnut and it's mount and flip the pistol grip around so the finger groove is on the front.My favorite feature is the knob on the back has a nice flare to it to help grip it. That part in other snakes especially the plastic drum ones is just a little nub of a cylinder. The rounded flare on this one is key to holding it and operating. I found myself holding it with one hand by the knob and the other hand feeding the line. If it was just a little nub that would have been impossible. But with this knob it was secure even with wet gloves.Since it was my first time using a snake after watching a bunch of videos I decided to do it by hand and not use the drill attachment. If you are not careful when using it by hand you can run your finger into the drill attachment shaft. But it's easy to avoid so that isn't an issue once you learn to avoid it.This snakes head area is much longer and increases and decreases multiple times over the ones that are shorter and more of an open face coil design. I believe that this longer tighter head allows this snake to not get hung up as much and also get around corners better. In the videos I watched a lot of the other head designs would have trouble getting into even the first downward curve of the tub overflow. With this long head I was able to just bend it right in by hand.Make sure to use gloves and have plenty of paper towels and Clorox wipes on hand and a trash bag for the removed clog. When feeding in or out I kept a Clorox wipe in my feeding hand and cleaned it any time I backed it into the drum.With a little work and patience I was able to remove an unbelievable big, long clump of hair. Ran it twice more after removing the hair clog and cleaning off the coil. Both of the next 2 attempts came up clean. So the snake did an excellent job spiraling through and collecting it all. Again another great feature of the longer coil head this has. If you are having trouble removing the hair try bending the coils a little to remove the pressure in them but be careful as to not flick anything off.Plummers want like $400 in my area to run a snake or do a blowout! That's crazy! Take your time and learn how to do it right and anyone can do this by themselves and save time and money! It's already paid for itself with that one job and now it will hopefully last a lifetime!
