Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I apologize for the long review but I believe in good reviews. If you came hear to see how fast the shipping was or if the product is what I expected, you'll have to read other reviews for that. I could care less about shipping speed and even if I did, it's amazon, I have ordered stuff on Friday after 6 PM and it was delivered by 1 pm on Saturday...but, I digress. I have used pressure washer drain snakes for 25 years, and this is THE best one I've ever used. Without disparaging the negative reviewers please understand, if you've never used one of these before you will more than likely have negative results. To address a few things in the reviews. The different nozzles do NOT all have the same size holes. Well, the single forward facing nozzle does have the same size but the propulsion holes (the ones facing rearward) are the size indicated on the etching on each nozzle. These are mainly for different size pressure washers. I would recommend the smallest (4.0) for most home-owner type pressure washers (anything under 2.6 GPM). As a side note, PSI rating is almost irrelevant without serious GPM. I have a very old honda commercial pressure washer that is 2,400 PSI but flows 4.1 GPM and it will run circles around my 2800 PSI 2.4 GPM big box store pressure washer. Using a pressure washer snake requires finesse. The snake is made of PVC hose and is naturally curved, always, so the nozzle will want to run along the side wall of the pipe(like pointing slightly into it), if you encounter a joint or sweep that stops the forward movement, keep the pressure on, pull back on the hose an inch or two and rotate the hose 1/4-1/2 turn. If you're trying to clear a solid grease blockage, keep doing this until you have rotated all the way around. This will allow the forward facing jet to eat at the grease all the way around the pipe. It takes a little practice but it does not just magically run through the pipe, cleaning everything in one pass. One of the reviewers mentioned trash in the hose that plugged up the nozzles. So, knowing this I blew my hose out with compressed air, nothing came out, so this was not an issue for me. Any of the big box stores/home improvement stores have tip cleaners in the welding section, they are cheap and a must have for anything with tiny holes. It's 100 feet exactly from my cleanout to the furthest sink (kitchen). The spinning nozzle is the most effective piece of this set...for MAINTAINING your pipes. It has no forward facing nozzle so it is pointless to use it for clogs. I ran one of my older drain snakes (only 50ft) from the cleanout under the kitchen sink, and then from the cleanout on the other end to bust up the wax hard grease (I had solid blockage-sink wouldn't drain at all in 24 hours). Once I busted through that mess and finally got what I thought was clean water free flowing through, I decided to try my new snake with the spinning nozzle, holy crap! That thing sounds like a herd of bumble bees on steroids. I let it work it's way through slowly, pulling it back 4-5 feet every 10 feet or so, I could not believe the black/brown crud that came through the pipe! Please, and this is mainly for the men on here. I know we like to see how things operate (especially if it's something we've never used/seen before). Trust me on this one, DO NOT pressurize the snake without it already being in the pipe at least a foot. There are too many jets, at different angles, on opposite ends to predict what part of your body is going to get cut first. I accidently pulled the snake out of the pipe many years ago and it shot across the yard like a wild bullet on a leash. Speaking of that, get some electricians tape (colored) I use white, I have a wrap one foot from the end, two feet and three feet. As you're pulling the snake out under pressure, you'll have a visual warning before you screw up and are on the way to the hospital. Oh, and the kit provides you with the largest amount of teflon tape I have ever seen...literally a lifetime supply for the home owner.
