Excellent product when used as instructed. I lived in my condo since 1991 (24 years) and I've never used an auger in my bathtub. This auger removed years of hair and soap, what Drano could not. To be honest, not Drano's fault, I needed an auger this time. I had so gunk that I needed an additional 9 feet of line just for the water to start draining. When you meet resistance, you MUST USE and START TURNING THE HANDLE CLOCKWISE AND CONSTANTLY with a little force, OTHERWISE it will not work. As the line goes deeper, add additional line (about 6 inches) LOCK it, turn the handle constantly again until line goes deeper, add 6 inches on line, lock it, keep on repeating until water starts draining. That's it! You did what a plumber would have charged you hundreds for.
This is what the plumbers use, so save your money and buy this. It will pay for itself many times over. It's my first time using an auger and I tried pushing the line in instead of turning the handle at the same time. Forcing the line WITHOUT turning the handle WILL NOT WORK. If I can use it, so can you. For help, watch a YouTube drain video first before starting. I did and it helped me a lot. Good luck!
P.S. The handle is NOT meant for recoiling the line back into the case when not in use. You MUST push the coil in yourself. Once in, lock and store it.
