MEISTERFAKTUR drain snake - Auto Feed - Ideal plumbing snake for sink and drain unblocking - Solid drain auger for real DYIs! (50FT)

yay! drain cleared! I was worried after reading some of the negative reviews (mostly quality control from Amazon) but it seemed as though the positive outweighed them. So I have been trying to clear a kitchen drain which I have a 25 ft auger. Of course the clog is past that point. This drain clogs twice a year and instead of saw cutting my floor to fix the low slope point I usually stick a hose into drain cleanout and try to flush. Well didn't work this year ugh so I thought for way less than 1/2 a plumbers house call which in my area is $135 to $180 I would try this. So ecstatic. It was super easy and I did not even have to use the drill. Mind you this is only 1/4 inch cable so I was super slow and careful putting it in and when feeling an obstruction I then would crank about 10 turns clockwise and then again 10 counter clockwise. My thought being it would keep this cable from kinking. I used almost all 50 ft of it. whew At the 49 ft 11in mark I noticed the cable coming out had 2 bends in it (showing it was the end??) and decided I would not go further with out possibly breaking this so pulled it out and viola, drain cleared! The hardest part was trying to get the cable where those bends were back into the case. I was gentle (key word) and then the rest easily manually pulls back. This would not be good for roots or anything like that as the cable is way too small and not for commercial use. Only had the one head that was permanently attached so you can't lose it in your pipe. Plus it is super light weight and came in a bag for storage w/ gloves. Perfect for what I needed it for and took less then 10 mins. Can't wait to try on shower and bathtub with hair clogs. I will update when I do.

Handle with care, breaks easily

Don’t buy this style drain snake. The drain snake that has the set screw is the best design. I have used several drain snakes over the years that had set screws for clamping the auger and I thought I would try this one because it has the trigger. It looks great in the video but in reality it’s terrible. When you grip the trigger it slowly advances the auger out of the drum, which can be a problem. Also, it made the auger kink up inside the drum. I had to yank the auger out of the drum which caused kinks in the auger. Once you have kinks in the auger it’s harder to make the auger pull itself into the pipe. I will not be buying another drain snake like this one. I will buy the older version with the set screw.

I purchased this Meisterfaktur 25 ft. snake, model #MF-DS9-25, to clear a kitchen sink drain that Liquid Plummer, nor our old snake nor a water pressure Drain King-like (water pressure type "thingy") wouldn't clear. So after wasting a few days playing around with those... AMZN Logistics "had a problem" and it took a couple days longer than it was originally suppose to get delivered. Thank you! Love having no water in my kitchen. When this finally arrived, it wasn't long enough! My brother did say it was "pretty slick. It was easy to use but just wasn't long enough." He fed it out all the way to the end but didn't encounter the clog/blockage. He also said he fed it out by hand, that that was faster & easier. He'd already told me, while we were waiting for it to arrive, he was afraid to use his drill to power it because these are old plastic pipes that aren't code any longer (not PVC) and he was afraid he might break the pipe, creating a real mess & expensive to get fixed. So here I am, 3-4 days later, back to buy another one --same model # since he really like the 25 ft one, but in the 50 ft length. Now another wait and minimum 2-3 more days without water. By the time this clog is cleared, I'll have gone a full week without running water in my kitchen. At this point, I'm not sure I think the money--hopefully-- I'm saving by not calling a plumber is worth it. I say hopefully because it will be another 2-3 days to find out if the 50ft one will work. If not, I'll have to call a plumber anyway! I gave the 25 ft. 4 stars because it took so long to get here.

I would hesitate to buy this again. Although the 50’ length is what I needed, the squeeze handle to add tension is very difficult to use and requires a lot of effort that takes away from the task at hand. I would prefer the older/other model (see same brand 35’ photo attached) that has a lock tab operation instead. I have a 25’ one with a lock tab (different brand) that is much easier to use (sample picture attached)

every household should have this drain snake, save you thousands of dollars from calling a plumber. you can use it in so many places: kitchen, bathrooms sink showers

Snaked a drain like it should. Assuming the high rate of return is because it works and people want their money back. It’s nice that you do not need to use a drill as you may not always have room under the kitchen sink for it and the drill.

Worked well. The suggestion to spray paint a mark on the snake every 5 feet is a good one. Rotating the snake in and out with the power drill takes patience but take the time rather than pulling it out as the snake can get twisted up and hard to insert back into the housing in the small confines behind the washer. You can manually push the snake into the drain until you meet resistance either by the plug or a turn in the pipe but be patient and use the drill to reverse out the snake. Definitely a two person job and wear disposable dishwashing or chemical gloves as drains can get messy as it's not just full of grey water.

Amazing product and it is very robust. It is more expensive than other low quality ones that breaks easily. It was worth buying this one.

Très efficace. J'ai utilisé cette pompe sur des toilettes mais elle convient sans doute aussi très bien sur un évier ou un lavabo. Demande de l'énergie car il faut pomper à plusieurs reprises sans s'arrêter. Il est nécessaire d'immerger correctement la base de la pompe en contact avec le fond de la cuvette des toilettes, sinon c'est la douche assurée (🤢) et surtout cette immersion assure l'efficacité du pompage. En fait la pompe permet surtout d'envoyer avec forte pression l'eau dans le conduit et cela afin de venir à bout du bouchon. Ne surtout pas oublier de verser 10 à 20 litres d'eau très chaude après les multiples pompages au cas où le bouchon serait constitué de graisses solidifiées. Je suis venu à bout de mon problème en moins de 30 mns grâce à cet appareil. Très satisfait.

Excellent product. After trying Karcher pipe cleaning kit and a pressure bladder, this is the product that saved the day to unclog pipes close to the kitchen sink. Highly recommended for a household.

Spiralen är klen och böjs lätt.

The waste from my bathroom is pumped and was becoming blocked by soap and general bathroom scum. The drain snake made short work of cleaning the waist pipe from the bath and hand basin, together with the 15mm pipes from the macerator. The snake can be hand operated or connected to an electric drill, but I found that rotating the snake by hand was easy and possibly allowed more control.
