Breezz 25-Foot Drain Auger with Drill Adapter

Review for:
Drain Auger, Breezz Clog Remover with Drill Adapter, 25 Feet Heavy Duty Flexible Plumbing Snake

We used this with a black and decker drill and by hand.

I Do Not recommend using this by hand as it will take an extremely long time and may hur thour arm after a while as you have to constantly rotate it. Use a drill.

Our kithcken sink was clogged, so we used it on this. We only used it for the kitchen sink, as of this review posting. Our sink does have a garbage disposal. After using this item, as instructed, it worked excellently. It unclogged the drain. There was a smelly black sludge in it, I am unsure if it was grease, food, or both. After using this and cleaning it off, we:
-Took the piping that could be removed under the sink outside and rinsed it out with the hose
-Reconnected the piping
– boiled hot water in my tea kettle at 212° F
– Poured soap down the drain
-poured the boioling water down the drain
There was still a little leakage coming through the grabage disposal, but we had a bucket under it so it didmt go anywhere. It slowly drained, but there wasnt as much leakage as before using the auger. We repeated this process 3 more times, each time there was less leaking and clogging. Now the sink works properly.

However, If you do have a garbage disposal, it may ruin it or cause a trigger in it to mess up, because our disposal is not working even after resetting it. Ours is Hard wired into the house and is older than 5 years, so it could be something else. I will be having a plumber/electrician look at it and find out if the back up of water was the cause and if it is actually broken and will provide an update with what the Plumber/electrician says.

5* for the Product! Works as it says it does.

Had a clog in the sink drain bought this unit with high hopes. At first glance it seems of good quality as far as being heavy duty. But as I started using I soon discovered that this was not to be. Though it has a heavy feel to the materials this does not indicate HEAVY DUTY. As I started to use the unit it made some head way, but then began to fail quickly. I then tried to hook to the Drill Chuck. This was useless do to the fact that the gear failed almost immediately. I am older construction worker skilled in most phases of install work (electric, plumbing, concrete, carpentry, painting etc /family biz). I was surprised because I hadn’t even used it in the drain yet I was just preparing the unit for use in drain.
#1 I then was reduced to use it manually which was no problem I didn’t think I was going to use it w/drill chuck. But This unit was sold as either or.
#2 As I manually navigated the recesses of my drain I thought HEY wow this this is working. But much to my dismay this was not to be.
#3 I soon found that the snake though it did navigate 12′ or so, then turned back upon itself. YES! As I was feeding line into the drain I felt resistance and thought it was working. But suddenly I saw the end/front of the line working it’s way back to me through the opening I started sending it down. i just lol
Final conclusions though this is a solid design it is not to Heavy Duty. I couldn’t recommend this unit to my friends. Between the gear slipping ( and I did lower the clutch on my drill ) and the light gauged metal allowing it to turn back to exit it’s entrance I would examine other options.
