BrushtechExtra Long Super Flexible Drain Brush, 48-Inch by Brushtech

good did the job

Did the job of cleaning a very awkward to get at pipe.

After trying baking soda and vinegar and other chemicals from the hardware store, i decided to buy this brush to clean the drain pipe of the black gunk that was making it drain very slowly. Once I removed the stopper, I followed the directions (run hot water down the drain while inserting and removing the brush) and found the drain pipe to be spotless! The brush is the perfect size for the drain from a bathroom sink. Since the gunk seems to accumulate over time, i have the brush for next time the sink drains slowly. i wish i had found this brush years ago. I would have saved a some money on different chemicals trying to fix the slow drain.

What a great tool, see the pictures, just run hot water for a few minutes to get the pipes warm, scrub the pipe while the hot water is running and you have a nice clear running drain. be careful pulling the brush up so as not to loose the bristles, the spring wire is just folded over and can catch on the crosses.

I have been a handyman for 45 years and this is the best way I have found to open clogged or slow drains where the blockage is not way down the drain pipe. I cut the handle off and chuck it up in my cordless drill . I use slow speed and have to be very careful that cable does not kink as i am feeding down the drain with the drill in forward direction . This brush is 1 1/4 " in diameter which is OK . Vanity bath drains are that size inner diameter , but kitchens are 1 1/2 " as are tubs, so , point being, a 1 1/2 " would be better except for vanities . I can't find a 1 1/2 brush model of this length . But this is a good length as it gets the job done without being too hard to handle .

I had a bathtub that just refused to drain quickly since we moved into the house. Drano couldn't get it because it drained, but very slowly. And two different plumbers said we had serious issues, but couldn't fix it either. I used a boroscope to look down the drain, but once I hit water I couldn't see jack squat. So I jammed this little sucker down there and when it hit a blockage I just twisted and twisted like I was trying to drill into it and then pulled it out and attached to the end was a huge clump of nasty hair and black goo. So I ran it down there several more times until it started coming back clean. I put everything back together and now the tub drains reasonably well. It used to take 15 minutes to empty a full tub, now it takes about a minute.I am really impressed with this little guy. It's cheap, simple, durable, and effective. I just wish the bristles were a little stiffer and would love it if they had another model that was about 1/2" bigger around.

For years I have struggled to clean the drains of our bathroom sinks. It has always required a bucket a mangled coat hanger and disassembling the sink traps and cleaning up a huge nasty mess of gunk.Not anymore.Today it took me about 30 minutes to clean three bathroom sinks drains with zero to no mess.All I needed was some paper towels. Some plastic gloves and this brush.Here is how it went.1. Removed the sink drain stopper / plug.2. Used the nut and a piece of plastic to cover the hole on the side of drain under the sink.3. Turned on the water and gentle pushed the brush down the drain until the clog cleared.4. Moved the brush up and down to scrub out any remainng gunk.5. Slowly pulled the brush out so the running water could clean it off.6. Removed the nut and plastic from the drain and reinstalled the sink drain stopper / plug.7. Wiped up some water on the counter.Done!!!!Best thing about this process is all the gunk is washed DOWN the drain. Instead of pulling it out into the bathroom.I did slightly bend the brush as another reviewer mentioned. This made it easy for the brush to manuiver through the trap.
