Heavy Duty but Will Scratch
4 out of 5 stars
Heavy Duty but Will Scratch
This is a strong hand snake.It's very sturdy and fairly ergonomic.One of the selling points is that it's not supposed to scratch your toilet bowl.Only the angled transition to the cable is rubberized, but the whole rest of it is metal and yes it will still scratch your toilet unless you are a magician.Sending the snake into the toilet is all it took to scratch it, and you have to do that before the angle lines up with the recessed part of the bowl.It definitely cleared the clog, and it has a well designed bulb at the end which will surround the blockage and pull it out.The downside is once you pull out that blockage in the bulb, how do you get it out? You're not throwing away the snake so you need to be able to clean it.

Product arrived 4 days earlier than it was suppose to and OMG did it work wonders for my purse, plus my toilet which took a lot of strength using a plunger on several occasions to try and unclog it. My husband tried with the plunger as well and it did nothing to unclog my mess.
I refused to call the plumber because I did not want to spend that much money so I tried another DIY concoction with baking soda, vinegar and hot water needless to say it did nothing to unclog the toilet either. I was determined to hold on to my money so I went to work searching the internet of other ways to unclog the toilet and came across 'closet auger' so of course I googled it and ended up on my favorite online store "Amazon" to see if it was available for purchase there and also to see the reviews in order to purchase the best of the lot.
Man, oh man, was I happy with my decision to buy this one!!! It cleared the toilet on my first attempt in less than 3 minutes, after having to share my daughters toilet for 2 week :-(. I felt like I had won a jackpot when the toilet flush freely on my first try!!! It did not take any extra effort or strength to use this tool which makes it even more awesome !!! I don't have to depend on anyone to unclog any of the three toilets in my home ever again!! (even though they don't clog frequently, at least I am well prepared for when they do).
This product will always be in my home from now on. The fact that it has a lifetime warranty for some things makes it more reassuring in purchasing it. I promise you if or when this one goes bad I will be replacing it with this very same product.

I was tempted to buy the 6 foot one because I feared the 3 foot wouldn't do the job, but after reviewing the 6 foot one and saw that it needed some strength and effort to use it, I reverted to the 3 foot which was perfect.

I saw in I think 2 or 3 reviews that the porcelain was scratched. My advice is in order not to scratch the porcelain make sure you watch the video on how to use the closet auger before you attempt to use it . That is what I did and not even the tiniest of a scratch occurred.

Had a problem with a clogged toilet and of course, it had to be near the holiday weekend. After watching several videos on YouTube I decided to purchase this auger. It was supposed to arrive on Saturday but the PO couldn't deliver it because of the gigantic box. I applied for it to be delivered today and it was. I had tried another brand of auger but it was very difficult to use. When I tried the Rigid K-3 toilet auger, it was easy to use and my toilet was unclogged in minutes. This was a really good bhy. It's made well and certainly saved me from calling a plumber. I'm a 73 year old female and had no problem using this auger.

I bought this to clean out a garage floor drain that had become clogged. For that purpose, it worked well. However, I have since tried to use it twice on toilets as it’s intended. It worked once, but took me quite a while to maneuver it into the pipe to the point it could clear the clog. The second time, I just couldn’t get it to go far enough into the pipe and I had to use a plunger to clear the clog. I’m not sure what would make it easier to use. Having said that, it was a good price and probably worth the amount paid for it to work some of the time but not all of the time. It is easy to grip and turn, so it is useful when it is able to reach the clog.

This is a some augur tool to help clear clogs. It appears to be designed for toilets and other larger drains.
I recently bought this (Dec. 2, 2023) to clear a toilet clog. After trying the usual remedies (plungers) and various "liquid plumber" like substances I thought I'd give it try before call for a professional plumber.
1. The device works as advertise and comes as it appears. It is sturdy.
2. I am not a super handy DIY so I went on and found a lot of videos and helpful guidance. The instructions on the cardboard attachment is basic - accurate but very basic.
3. BE VERY CAREFUL about scraping the metal augur against the visible porcelain. I used a trick of duct taping around the plastic elbow to help cushon it and keeping the device in line. with the path. Despite all of these efforts, on the way out the bulbous augur end did scrape a bit against the visible part and so now there are several fine grey metallic scraps - not horrible and I can live with it.
4. If you are very fastidious - try to draw the bulb tip full inside before retreating the device out. I did it single handed but if you are smaller and shorter the full 3 foot extension requires a bit of a stretch.

The device worked! Cleared the gunky clog and I easily saved the cost of a plumber visit.

We have a family member who tends to clog toilets. Usually I can plunge it through, but I bought this knowing that one day the plunger wouldn't be enough. That day ended up being today. It was clogged solid. The plunger was doing nothing.

This went right in and drilled through the clog in a few seconds. It couldn't have been easier. The toilet was now flushing again but still slowly, so I was able to plunge the last of it through and get back to a normal flush. Toilet repaired!

The worst part of it was having to then clean the auger. I wrapped it in an old towel to avoid dripping on the floor, and then used a garden hose to get all the little bits out. Watch out for splashback when doing that. A pressure washer would probably have done better and allowed some more distance. After air drying a bit I gave it a healthy spray down with WD40 to deter rust. This sort of metal starts rusting almost immediately.

This is a pro grade tool and saved me a $$$ plumber visit, so it easily paid for itself with one use.

The satisfaction I got as I pulled a wool sock from the depths of my toilet can’t be overstated. As a toddler shepherd, I deal with plugged toilets on the regular. This is an excellent tool and I expect many years of use out of it. Heavy construction, everything you’d expect from rigid at a great price! Thanks
