I wouldn't say Husky tools are comparable to harbor freight lol.

I sorted by price and limited it to 25' models. At this price, there are only 3 models left that are cheaper. The cheapest isn't comparable as it is a different style (the exposed cage style that I do not want to touch).
The 2nd and 3rd look like cheaper plastics with one having middling reviews and the other only has 2 reviews.
More expensive is the cheaper ridgid model with middling reviews. Husky is more expensive (I have no experience with it personally, but most husky tools are comparable to harbor freight tools and I don't buy them unless I need a disposable/give away tool).
The comparable ridgid is $24 more at this price and I would save the money and buy the Milwaukee. It has good reviews and is the same plastics they use for fish tapes and such (so you can chuck it in the back of a van and it won't hurt it).
The milwaukee also has a hex drive option for power feed that looks like you could easily hook a drill to it. Maybe pair an m12 drill with the clutch set lower.

Don't know why I just bought this, but I did. Now hoping a drain will clog, but not really.

These little drain snake aren't going to do anything for grease and oil in a kitchen drain. I got a cheap sewer jetter from Amazon and borrowed a pressure washer. That took care of my drainage problems. Never seen so much grease come out of a clean out.

I just cleared a hairball that was about 24 feet down the drain with this. I'd say it works great and is an excellent buy at this price.

Just curious which specific Rigid snake model are you referring to?
I think the one in your pants... I was trying to figure out if it was a joke or not...

Would this potentially work for a clog that's affecting all of the drains in a bathroom (tub/sink/toilet)? I'm thinking the clog moved far enough down that it's affecting all 3 now and it's sitting in a pipe somewhere in the basement, under the bathroom. I have long hair, so I suspect a hairball.

I doubt it would be able to handle the sharp bends, if your line has any, like mine does. I've successful unclogged my line in the past by blocking all other openings and holding a shop vac hose over the drain end (mine goes into a sink), while forming a seal between the line and the vac hose with my hands while wearing rubber gloves. I created the seal for a few seconds, the pulsed it to loosen the clog.

You can also try pouring diluted bleach water into the line.

Unfortunately, neither of these methods will work for my line anymore and, for some reason, I still have water running out of my furnace (even in the cold weather). So, I have to assume that's related to the humidifier. Ah, the joys of home ownership.

Thanks. Maybe. I like this Milwaukee one (aside from price) that it can be used manually, battery power would be the icing.
This has a female 1/4 hex. I can power it with my electric screwdriver.

It won't. An AC condensate line is too small for a snake to go thru. You're best best is compressed air or wet vac.

There are many 1* reviews for this trapsnake that is preventing me from making my purchase. Most of the 5* reviews are from the seed program. I think many here use the Ridgid.
Most of the 1 star reviews are from complete idiots. You can tell they tried to use the auger with the cable lock engaged or trying to snake a toilet.

I use my portable 8G compressor and a Kobalt blow gun. The blowgun has a tapered end that seals pretty well to the condensate line. I usually blow it out once a year or so.

Do you clean these after use? How do you keep it from rusting?

I use a blower to unclog my bathtub drain. The blower is part of Ridgid dry/wet vacuum. So far never fail. I understand it won't work if the clog is far down the line, so I probably will get this one just in case.
