    You don’t even need the drill.

    You can get a shitty hand snake from Amazon for 20 bucks and that will clear most things.

      I’m a shit plumber though and the hand-cranked version took me hours to get into position. Had to call a real plumber and he got right in there with his big motorized one.

      But yeah you’re correct, they both do the same thing; it just works better if you are spinning it while advancing it so that the bulb tip grabs onto the mess instead of just pushing it further down the pipe.

      I was fighting potato peels though. Don’t put them in the garbage disposal. Lesson learned, I suppose. Also, fuck garbage disposals.
