Clear the clog in a few quick strokes

Blocked toilet, backed-up sink, slow shower: this hand pump puts real pressure behind the clog and sends it down the pipe. The soft cone on the end seals the drain opening, and you work the T-handle up and down the barrel the way you would inflate a bicycle tire. Each stroke drives a slug of air and water straight down the trap, and with the opening sealed the blockage is the only thing in its way.

A rubber cup folds and flexes, and a good share of your effort goes into bending the cup. The pump puts all of it into the pipe, which is why buyers talk about clogs gone in seconds and in a couple of pushes instead of twenty sweaty plunges.

Everything is mechanical: you seal the drain, you pump, and the pipe takes it. It is ready the moment you lift it out of the corner.

One cone seals them all

The head is a stepped cone: a stack of concentric rings that meets the neck at its widest and steps inward to a small rounded tip with an opening in it.

That shape finds a seal in whatever opening you have. Push it in and it wedges at the ring that matches the hole. A toilet trap takes it deep, a shower or floor drain takes it partway, and a basin drain takes the tip. One head, three fits, and it stays with the tool.

On a flat basin or floor drain, where a cup tends to skate around, the cone settles in and holds the pressure where it belongs.

What buyers say

Using it, start to finish

1. Seat the cone. Press it into the drain opening and lean on it until it stops moving. A firm seal is what turns every stroke into pressure on the clog.
2. Keep your weight on the barrel. The seal holds while you work, and the pressure goes down the pipe.
3. Pump fast and keep going. Quick, continuous strokes do the work: steady and rapid, the way the maker intends.
4. Watch the water level. When it drops away, you are through. If it lingers, re-seat the cone and go again.
5. Rinse the cone under the tap and stand the tool up somewhere it can drip dry.

Nothing gets poured down the drain

Clearing a blockage with this tool means skipping the bottle of anything. You save the cost of cleaner, skip the half-hour wait to find out whether it worked, keep caustic liquid out of the trap, and the same tool is ready for the next clog.

Buyers call out the clean finish: rinse the cone under the tap, stand the pump in the corner, and it is ready for years of clogs. It handles the hair, cloth, tea leaves, grease and oil the maker lists, in toilets, floor drains, sinks, wash basins, bathtubs and showers.

Long reach, light in the hand

End to end it measures 26.4 in (67 cm), roughly the length of an adult's arm. That length lets you stand beside the bowl and push down through the handle instead of crouching over it, with your hands well clear of the water.

At about 12.2 oz (345 g) it is easy to hold out at arm's length and easy to hang up. It stands in a corner, hangs on a hook, or lies along the back of a cupboard, and it looks right at home beside the toilet.
