Turbo Snake - Original - 2 Pieces Included! - As Seen on TV

I live with 2 long haired females who seem to think that you just wash loose hair down the drain. Maybe I'm just jealous cause I can cut what's left of my hair with a Flowbee. Anyways their bathroom sinks always get plugged up. I would use a plunger or have to take out the p-trap. Always wondered about Turbo Snake so I bought the 2 pack from Amazon.Like others have said it is mostly a wire with Velcro and you could make it yourself but you would have a hard time making up the sewn together Velcro end cap which is the key to the whole thing! So for the time savings it is much better to just buy this package.One important thing! Just as some mentioned the larger snake's Velcro cap cane off inside my drain first use and I had to take out p-trap to get it out. But all you have to do if is the following to make it perfect:* Gently but firmly wiggle and slide and pull off the large snake's end cap with pliers or teeth. Best to do it before using it as it is gross what comes out of drain and attaches to end cap.* Use wire cutters or wire stripper to take about 1/2" of wire insulator off end or big snake end where the Velcro end cap just was. Do not weaken or damage wire itself.* Slide the Velcro end cap back on and firmly wiggle and slide the cap until the bare wire reaches the end of the Velcro end cap's end.* Then slide and push harder until the bare wire makes a hole and pops through the Velcro end cap.* Bend the bare wire all the way over and then be sure and crimp the end into the Velcro end cap so that it is pushed into it and will not hang up in a drain when you pull it out.With this improvement the large snake is a very strong tool and the end cap will never come off and if you bend the wire into the end cap properly it will not hang up during use.I do not think you have to do this with the small snake as it's end cap seems to be on much better and also the small snake is a lightweight use tool. I have used the small snake several time as it came and it worked fine as is. But you certainly could do the same upgrade to it.I used to just use the small snake on the sink drains and it worked ok. But then I tried the upgraded large snake and I hit the mother lode. You can really dig with the firmer large snake.The included handy storage hook is a great idea too. I just store both snakes on it inside the cabinet under the sink and it is always there. Great idea and product (almost) but you can finish the product easily.

If you were under the marketing impression that you were going to get two packages of this FORGET ABOUT IT!It's NOT TRUE, they are only going to send you one.... I wish I knew and then I would of but it else where, where it would of been cheaper for the same ONE package. Well, now you know! It's a marketing scam, 2 pieces are in the one package....duh we see that, but we also see two packages.... and the YOU GET TWO PIECES in the Title, with the picture. They got me...The item worked well for me in the past so I bought another now years later, just sorry I bought it here.

I have purchased at least 3 of these in my lifetime. I think one was from Walgreens. It's an absolute must have for any home. It works in the shower and sinks. Very very easy to use anybody could do it. Hair clogs up drains so quickly and sinks and showers start to fill with water. It's unpleasant to have a clogged drain because then they tend to smell because the bacteria is trapped in the hair. I put on gloves because it's gross pulling hair out of drains, and I keep an empty shopping bag to put the hair in so I can pull out more. You will be surprised at how much hair is pulled out and how much better your drains work. Whole process takes 5 minutes max. Very easy to manipulate into the S pipe on sinks. My only complaint is that after time the hair sticks to the velcro and it's almost impossible to get the smaller pieces off when the bigger pieces rip. This is why I've had to replace about every 6 months. But it's much cheaper than buying expensive chemicals or calling a plumber. This is a definitely a must have in every home.

I thought this was a good deal for one package, but I received a two packages just like the picture shows!So a total of 4 wire cleaners. I've had this product for years and looked to purchase a new one. Over the years the wire was bent so many times, it wasn't as sturdy as I wanted to go down the drain.I saw similar products and was worried that this might be a "nock off" (look alike product) and not the real thing, but it was the real product that I purchased years ago. Now I have two of them! One for travel.

I used the turbo snake to clean out my bathroom sink which was draining very slowly. I was getting bits of stuff and hair out but when I lost patience and released the drain plunger under the sink (pretty easy with pliers) and pulled the stopper out I was able to get a couple big globs of "stuff" and hair. Disgusting, but now my bathroom sink drains fast as I ever remember. Much better than pulling apart pipes or using more involved techniques.While the turbo-snake can be used with the drain stopper in place (but open) I found it much more effective with it removed and removal and replacement were pretty easy on my sink. For something really cheap and worked really well for me I'm giving it 5 stars.

My husband saw the ad on late night TV which is never a great recommendation in my book but at his urging I ordered these through Amazon - reviews on line indicated that people ordering from the company had hidden fees added and charged to their credit cards. We had two slow drains in our bathroom. Following the instructions within a minute he pulled out a incredible very nasty large chuck of goo. The drains work like new. I recommend using gloves and getting someone else to do this task. They do look flimsy and I am not sure how long they will last but they are not expensive and I have spent more on liquid drain cleaner over the year then I did not these, and they did the trick, so if I have to replace them every couple of uses they will still be cheaper then the harsh chemicals.
