It’s dramatically cut down my need for external aid when it comes to drain issues, even in those aforementioned older homes that have commanded a lot of outside assistance from professionals over the years. It’s simple, affordable, efficient, and ever-reliable. When the biggest complaint I could personally muster about the FlexiSnake Drain Weasel is “I wish the unnamed weasel-in-a-whirlwind mascot had a name” (and trust me, I looked), it’s a sign that the Drain Weasel does its job brilliantly every time. Admittedly, with some severe clogs, it may take more than one try to truly alleviate the drain issue, but every time I've tried it, in every type of drain I've tried it on (kitchen sink, bathroom sink, and shower), it's been a one-and-done drain relief experience. So rather than consistently call in plumbers to unclog their pipes at a cost, or cultivate the kind of relationship with our super where he starts saying “Again?” in a disappointed, fatherly tone, I went on a weasel hunt and came home with a winner.
