RIDGID 59802 K-6DH Hybrid Toilet Snake Auger with 6' Heavy-Duty Drop Head Tri-Wrap Cable, Manual or Cordless Drill Operated Plumbing Toilet Drain Snake Auger

I had a really bad clog which I put off fixing for [unspecified amount of time] because I was busy and never home anyway due to intensive work schedule. I tried green gobbler, both their pre mix liquids and bucket of powder, which did not work. But I finally had time to deal with my toilet this week, so I bought this Auger at the direction of an AI chatbot. the chatbot recommended the k3 but I got the K6 instead because im rich. For the first 2 days I had it, I kept thrusting the handle in and got it about 4ft in and it seemed quite hopeless, but I did not give up. Then today 20260211 16:22, I gave it another go (right before I had to leave for night shift), and I pushed the handle into the frame all the way. I pulled it out, a plume of the blockage came floating out, and I pressed flush - it worked perfectly. The moral of the story is always defer maintenance, there are no downsides.

I had someone flush a bunch of bounty paper towels down my toilet at work! After plunging for several hours achieving nothing, we decided to order this tool and am so glad we did! It literally took 2 seconds and the clog was gone!!!! 😃 This is a great tool to keep around and will end up saving us lots of money in the future, but unfortunately, the job is not a pleasant one and the tool can scratch your toilet if you aren’t careful or cannot see what you are doing. I do highly recommend this gadget, but advise you to watch the YouTube video for recommendations on its use. No matter how quick or easy it is to use, I’ll hopefully never have to use it again. 😷

There were some less expensive ones available, but I wanted quality, so I was willing to spend a little more. This thing is quality, top to bottom! There is no way I'm going to be breaking this! It is easy to use, very sturdy, and has never done any visible damage to the porcelain of my toilet. If the clog was actually in the toilet itself, this thing has cleared it every single time! The tip of the snake is made in such a way that it quickly and easily found it's way deeper and deeper into the pipe with very little effort on my part. It has a place to attach an electric drill to turn the snake, but honestly, this thing works so well that I have never had to use that feature. If you need one of these, don 't worry about saving a little money. Buy quality! Buy this one!

The Ridgid 59802 six-foot toilet auger is a professional grade plumbing implement that can be used by homeowners with a little care. After a toilet didn't appear to flush completely I suspected there was a partial blockage. Not being a plumber and after having attempted to use a plunger with no change I decided to buy this toilet auger to see if I could correct the problem myself without calling a professional. I was honestly not sure this is what I needed as the toilet partially flushed and would refill with clear water. I'll skip ahead to the victory. After getting everything set, it took about two minutes to clear the blockage which appeared to largely be toilet paper. So kudos to the product, it definitely does the job. Having said that I gave it four rather than five stars mostly because the directions are poor. I read them several times before starting, and they were oddly fragmented and ordered with a discussion of using a cordless drill as an attachment right in the middle of the relevant information. Also the diagrams are very small and very unclear. The directions referenced a button to make the cable extend from three to six feet and it is not labeled on the device and is not depicted on the drawing; it just kind of points to the area where it is. I am so glad I took my time to get familiar with this thing before starting the job. The button is only exposed when you pull the base of the handle with crank attachment out of the sleeve holding it; it's then exposed on the side. Caution: this thing is very unwieldy when extended to the full six feet! Try it on the three foot length before seeing if you need to go further (I didn't). A couple of tips that make sense once you've done it are in order. First, read the directions and understand them. Get everything set aside in the bathroom with a plastic garbage bag handy. You'll want to be wearing disposable gloves for all of this. Have paper towels on hand. It's very important to have the entire cable retracted with just the tip showing (this model has a drop head which is good at pulling stuff out with it) and then gently put in into the toilet getting the orange vinyl sleeve nestled into the toilet drain. If you let the metal cable come in contact with the toilet it can scratch. I was very deliberate and had no scratching issues. Follow the directions to progressively insert the cable and twist: it may encounter resistance. I found the easiest part was actually unclogging the toilet, which took about a minute or two. Once you think you're done, withdraw the cable into the auger fully before pulling it out. Flush the toilet a few times to make sure it's really clear. Then the nightmare starts. You have to get this thing out of the toilet to someplace where you can clean it, and if you haven't thought this through, the ensuing mess is not going to be enjoyable. Having never done this before, I thought about it before I started and my method worked well. I removed the auger with one hand while I held open the trash bag with another. I put the...soiled...end of the auger in the garbage bag and transported it outside where I used a high powered hose nozzle and disinfectant to clean it. I then let it dry overnight. The Ridgid 59802 is a very effective tool that works great. I have no problems recommending it. Just mess around with it and read the instructions while it's clean and dry, because once the clog is cleared, the worst part of the job is upon you. If you have a plan you'll do just fine.

my toilet wasnt flushing well. only flushed completely maybe 1/3 of the time and when it did it was very slow. had to use plunger many times to get it to flush and still kept having same problem so i bought this. it was a tiny bit difficult to get it all the way to the 3-ft depth, it always wants to stop a few inches short. takes a bit of in and out movement while turning for maybe 20 seconds or so to get it to the full 3 ft. i think 3 ft is where it exits the toilet and goes into drain pipe. i was a little hesitant to go beyond that, but the flushing hadnt improved so i tried again and went all the way to 6 ft. once i got past the hangup at 3ft, it went all the way to 6 ft easily. when i pulled it out there was just a small tangle of hair on the tip, nothing impressive, but the toilet is flushing great now so i guess it broke the clog up and allowed it to go down even though nothing of significance pulled out. very happy i got this vs calling a plumber. in the past i have occasionally flushed small sections of paper towels and also tangles of wifes hair from the shower, never again. only flush toilet paper unless you want a clogged toilet. an update: this is very prone to rusting. after I used it around 5pm, i stuck the end in a plastic grocery bag and left it laying on the floor inside the house. the next morning the head was covered in rust and there was rust spots all over the cable. it was easily cleaned off with a scotchbrite pad and wd40. so Id say make sure to clean, dry and oil it right after use. i sprayed mine down with wd40 silicone spray after cleaning the rust off

Mag ein gutes Gerät sein aber paste nicht durch den WC Knick

great product, well built, fast shipping. Time will tell whether it was worth the hefty price.

Had an old toilet that was prone to clogs and a potty training toddler so I decided to spend extra on a good toilet auger. Packaging was mediocre ,but it arrived safe and with no missing pieces. This was my first time using an auger so I ended up scratching the porcelain; Watch a tutorial to avoid my mistake, this was completely my fault. Once I got a hang of it the clog was gone in less than 5 minutes.

Does the job. Plumbers use this toilet auger all the time

I hated using a plunger. This item unclogs toilets very quickly. I am very happy with the purchase.
