has anyone used those air powered drain cleaners?

Question

you know, those gadgets like they sell on HSN or QVC which look like a pistol, and force a quick blast of air into a clogged drain. just wondering if they really work on tough clogs before i pick one up. tnx

Answer 1

This type of drain "Cleaner" should not be used. A plunger or drain "Snake" are much more effective. If you think about it, blasting air down the drain is more likely to push the clog tighter into the drain rather than unclogging it. A plunger will push and pull the clog to free it and a snake will push through the clog and break it up.

Answer 2

Answer 4

the device that uses compressed air to unclog a drain will work provided your pipes are in good shape and all your connections are tight you will need to cover the overflow or drain opening of another sink tied to the same drain so the air and water doesn't come out of there when you use it.most of the connections under the sink are slip joint compression type and could come apart if the are not tight enough.

Answer 5

I already own a diesel and am curious about biodisel. Right now, I hear it is not cost effective to produce. I don't spend too much time worrying about greenhouse gasses because humans are incapable of destroying the planet. Only God can do that. Besides , global warming was much worse during the middle ages with fewer people and no cars or factories. And the only hole in the ozone is in the theory. It was proven by the U.S. Navy over twenty years ago and the politicians told them to shut up.

Answer 6

I would be careful if you use any kind of pressure devise, You can do more damage, like blow your pipes up...Use a drain snake that's the safest thing to use without damaging your pipes. Don't buy it your wasting good money...........
