Tools and Hardware Reviews of Cobra Products 400 Zip-It Drain Cleaning Tool
Customer Review: Easy To Use
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first review ever. I stumbled across this tool when looking up reviews on the "as seen on tv" turbo snake. I seen so many negative reviews about that one and so many positive reviews about this one. This was such an easy tool to use. You just push it down the drain and pull it back up. My bathroom sink was really slow at draining, I stuck this down there and pulled up quite a bit of hair. I figured while I was at it and I wish I would have took video of it was my bathtub drain. I never thought I had any drain flow problems with it until I used this nifty tool. I put it down the drain and I swear I pulled up what looked about as long as a full grown cats tail and as big around as one too. I did it about three more times and got so much hair out. I would definately recommend this product to anyone that is looking to clear out there drain. I would like to also mention that I had previously used a full bottle of drano on the bathroom sink with it not helping at all.Customer Review: DO THIS FIRST!

I'm a very unskilled home owner. I pretty much hire a professional for almost everything in my house. Recently, my shower started draining more slowly. I thought about buying Draino or something equivalent so I came on Amazon to find the right product before hiring a plumber. I found this amazing stick and decided to try it because it's so cheap! I received it about 20 minutes ago and decided to try it now... the second I put it in and pulled it out, I cleared the clog! A TON of hair and disgusting gross-ness, but this $4 stick cleared the whole thing in less than 2 minutes. It's easy: stick it in and pull it out. I did it about 5 times (pulling gunk each time). I threw away the gunk, rinsed the stick and ran the shower for 5 minutes to verify that all was clear - and it was! Here I am, 20 minutes later writing a review for this amazing product. I never write reviews, but this is just too amazing to not share.Customer Review: great little product

I'm not just some handyman, not that there is anything wrong with being a handyman. I'm a full on contractor and yes, I often let things go in my own home because I can't be satisfied with little fixes. I always want to tear out the whole thing and do it right. I want to remodel our bathroom and one little nagging thing about it is the poorly draining sink. And yes, constantly pouring caustic drain cleaner down pipes is bad for them, but I've been doing it.
So I got one of these (despite the fact that I could probably make something similar - but heck time is money) and it worked like a charm. Pulled out the expected slimy wad of hair, and also part of a chop stick and some broken glass. Second run came up with nothing and the sink drains perfectly. I haven't tried it on the shower yet - which might be trickier - but that doesn't actually have any drain problems.
Totally worth it. Buy it!
Customer Review: It works. It really works!

OK. I bought this kind of on a desperate lark. Our bathroom sink was draining very slowly and drain cleaners were not helping. So, I was planning on taking the drain pipes and trap apart to solve the problem. Not necessarily a difficult task, but I wasn't looking forward to emptying out the vanity, the mess, etc. So, when I saw this for such a low price, I thought why not? And, here is what happened: I inserted it into the drain and pulled it back and out came a disgusting clump of black goo, hair, etc. I rinsed that off (swirling it in the toilet...don't tell my wife) then repeated this a few times until it came back clean. That sink now drains like it was brand new! The instructions say to throw away after use. But, being rather frugal, and not afraid of dealing with mucky goo, I cleaned it thoroughly in the toilet bowl, a quick final rinse with soapy water and it now waits for the next plugged drain!Customer Review: Worked Better Than Chemicals On Our Clogged Shower Drain!

My husband and I bought a 16-year-old townhouse. Within 3 minutes of a shower, the tub would fill up and we'd be in water up to our ankles. Gross! We went through 3 big bottles of drain chemicals before we finally bought this drain snake. My husband used it to clean out all kinds of icky stuff (follow the recommendations from the other reviews about wearing gloves and having a bag ready for the junk that comes out of the drain!), and now our tub drains exactly like it should. We're very glad we bought this--it's inexpensive and so much more earth-friendly than the chemicals.
The product description says it is disposable, but you do not have to throw it away. I guess maybe they say that for the people who are grossed out by it touching all that gunk in the shower drain? Anyway, we washed ours after we used it, and let it air dry, and put it back in the package so we can use it again in the future.
