Why not just use a co2 air soft gun? Just tape the drain attachment thing on the gun.
Thatâs an idea. I donât have one of those, but if I did it could be worth a try. Thanks for watching!
pure lye for bathtub, sink and shower drains. nothing works better.
Just ordered one from amazon, $48 ish. No drain cleaner, multiple plunger attempts, multiple auger attempts, worked, nada. Very hopeful.
The craziest thing I did to unclog a drain was to use a sqeezable pencil sharpener container as a plunger.
I just got one for a super serious tub clog. My advice for every use is be sure to use the splashgard and wait about 15 - 30 minutes after use before using again. That at least gives gravity time to do it's job and prevent too much force down the pipes.
I thought it was a dumb gimmick tool until I saw the C02 cartridge then I was all in!
House with at least 50yr old cast iron pipes. No water in system for 5 years plus on hard well water. After no luck with hand auger the Kleer Drain worked fine first time.
Holy shit.. Tried snakes, chemicals, boiling water, plunger.. Fighting a slow drain.. For 2 days (about 4-8 hours) went to home depot bought this.. Boom done in 2 mins.. This thing is phenomenal..
It is awesome! Itâs bailed me out so many times. Glad it worked for you too. Thanks for checking this out.
Im not going to even write a long story or anything I think a simple "Thank you my guy" will suffice!!
Hi, I contacted u the other day about the proper use of klear drain. I used it three times because my clog still seemed to be intact. The following morning, I saw the drain on longer had water inside. When I turned on the water, the clog was gone and I was thrilled!!!. Never really expected it to work because I clog was very severe. No water was draining from the tub at all. This saved me money and, at this time of quarantine, I would not want a workman in my home. Thank u so much for informing me about this product. I could have never used a snake or even removed the overflow cover from my tub. You were a lifesaver for me!
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Worked beautifully for me on a toilet that was very prone to clogging - One shot and ran well. This after half an hour of plunging and fooling with a 3-foot auger. Didn't use use the wafer/pwoer disk (hadn't read instructions closely) but no problem - have cast iron pipes.
This definitely unclogged my tub , I Love this !!
Just bought this at Home Depot, worked GREAT! I covered the overflow drain with a rag, and only ended up using one cartridge. Thanks for the video!
Excellent demo. Thanks!
Used it and it worked, thanks
Drain cleaner to help break clog up, run water as instructed and following up with a regular cheap plunger has always worked for my tubs.
I see your video and saw it didnât work at first and thought ha! I decided to try it anyway as I was desperate. I had been up all night because not only does my bath tub have a clog it also has a leak....can you imagine that? A double whammy! I went to Home Depot picked it up along with a snake and more draining.....I used the snake and nothing happened. I thought here goes nothing! I pushed down expecting nothing to happen and BANG! It went off like a shot gun blast! I said Hot Diggity! I also so the smoke shoot out through the exhaust drain.....a few seconds later and the drain is clear! It was pretty cool to be honest with you.
Thanks for sharing your story. Yes, it's very cool to see it work. I've had to do this so many times in our house and it works EVERY single time. Very amazing tool.
I need help I was able to drain the water perfectly but 6 months later it happened again itâs clogged
I literally just bought one tonight and it really helped a lot, rotter rooter couldn't even unclog the drain. I also pour DAWN down the drain better than draino.
Thanks, Aaron Rodgers! Nice beard. Loved the State Farm commercials, too! Go Vikes!
YESSS..
THANK-U!
FOR THIS VIDEO...
IT WORK THE FIRST TIME I DID IT.đđ
Worked exactly as shown for me
Hey! I had to come back and give you the update! I *FINALLY* used the Kleer Drain! I let the toilet seat down. Closed up the sink drain but. . . I forgot about the hidden overflow vent thingie in the tub. I didn't think I was doing it correctly until BOOM! Hair and gunk went flying out everywhere. . . it was almost kinda fun. . . like a science experiment, lol. The boom wasn't a loud as I thought and guess what? Hubby never knew I had a slow draining tub! Thanks.
Awesome! Yeah, it can definitely get messy depending on what's clogging the drain. I'm glad it worked out for you. I used this in my sink once and had a whole lot of gunk flying everywhere (I hadn't properly sealed around the sink before). Glad your hubby didn't know! Thank you so much for coming back to give an update. Feel free to share this video around to others with stubborn drains. đ
Thank u for sharing. Nice job.
Oops, I was wondering what that wafer thing was for. It took me like 3 tried to get my clog out. But the 1st time I messed up so at least twice. I'm glad I didnt blow my pipes. But to be honest that thing was awsome. Thanks for explaining
Thank you ...This worked great! I didn't need a plumber.
You're welcome. Isn't it an awesome tool! I just used mine again a couple of weeks ago on a drain and it did the trick! Thanks so much for watching this.
𼰠What a great vid. Thanks !
Wow, great tool. This is my first time seeing that tool. Thanks for Sharing
You're welcome. It's a fantastic tool that I came across a couple of years ago because every other method I used wasn't working to clear my bathroom sink drain. I didn't want to have to call a plumber, so I just kept looking until I discovered this.
They are at HD.. you have to walk around and search for it because the employees don't know where to look.
Thanks handy
I'm plunging for a week and he gets it with one shot!!! Waaaa!!!
Thing worked better than a 300$ electric snake. Only thing I'd recommend especially if the water is absolutely disgusting would be to take off the overflow cover and wrap it in like a plastic shopping bag and screw the cover back on. You could and should even stuff up any opening in the overflow cover so the air pressure and gross water doesn't come shooting out. Love this thing
I just bought this product and will use it soon, but found your video and others to make sure I understood how to use it correctly. For tubs I made something that makes them easier. I remove the overflow drain cover and I cut an aluminum disc slightly larger that the opening with a hole in the center and glued some thick foam to one side. Then I screw that on over the vent drain hole to seal it so that the pressure only goes down the pipe.
Hey thanks brother are tub drain clogged last night. The whole pipe from before the faucet so if you run the sink I filled the tub. My dad found your video just went and bought one and in 2 shots completely cleared the whole clog
Happy For You. Woo Hoo. !!đđđźđ
Hmmm.. have to try this.( never heard of this product).
You just saved me $285+. Thanks!
Youâre welcome, glad to help!
Pretty cool đ
Thanks. It's always fun unclogging things đ
I just ordered from home Depot. Gonna pick it up in couple hours. I'll comment after I use it. Jesus I really hope this works.
Just use a shop vac
Thank you
Ahh yes. I had my share of unclogging tubs and toilets back in 2000 and 2001 when I was a handyman for Pheasant Ridge Apartments in Iowa City. We used a snake for those types of dirty jobs. I wished this was around back then. Those CO2 cartridges also remind me of my bb gun days when I was a kid. We use Drano for our clogs when we get them. This was a great video. Keep making vids Matt. You're going somewhere. I saw a video from another CZcamsr and it's funny because he said, "Make everything a video!" Thanks for sharing Matt! Keep up the good work! đ
Thanks, Sam, really appreciate this feedback. Yeah, I used Drano, snakes, other tools for years. This tool is definitely my goto for pesky clogs. I've had to use it several times now - I have kids who take a lot of showers. Also, I picked up a great mesh filter that I stick over some of our drains and that's really helped. I need to get one for this tub too. Yes, I've learned the value of "filming as you go." It's been a great experience.
@@HandyHudsonite Thumbs up on that. Yeah, I hear ya!
i have a NASTY clog in my drain somewhere. sister's bf even removed the toilet fron the floor and ran a 25ft snake down there, but it would not unclog the line. gonna need to try a Kleer Drain tool. what someone needs to do is invent an automatic plunging device that plunges and plunges a drain so that it will eventually unclog. until then, i guess a Kleer Drain tool will have to do in the meantime! for me, anyway. thanks for sharing your demo on the Kleer Drain tool.
After taking my sink apart about 5 times, rodding it with a 15 foot handheld auger using a drill, about 5 times, nothing seemed to work. Mind you my stack is not far away. Every time that I put it all back together it clogged again with only only about a half a gallon of water added. I left two different products overnight soaking, the backup didn't even budge. I wish I had heard of this device, I would have saved about 10 hrs and my body. Long story short, as I already had all my plumbing apart, I just shot it straight into the wall pipe, no plunger on the end as it would not work with my vanity in the way, too close to the wall drain in the wall. For safe measures I shot into it twice. I had read a review where the person stated the best sound once shot they had ever heard. No the best sound was when I turned on the water, and it actually drained. My pipes behind the wall are strong, cast iron, but this thing solved the problem as I was beginning to doubt myself and logic. Never struggled this much before.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Terry. I've definitely had a lot of run arounds with clogs before I found this tool.
very cool
I can see this causing issues in the future by pushing the clog/hair/etc further down the pipe and causing a larger build up. Drain clogs are annoying so hopefully it doesn't cause bigger issues later on.
Thanks. I being looking for so many ideas how to unclog my drain but not even one single one works. When i try to insert a long wire something hits like a metal and dosent go any further. I will try this method you use thanks again. đ
Did it work
Will it work for sinks that have the litttle thing that u can pull up and down
I bought one of these this week. I'm ready to use it but wasn't sure if I was connecting it correctly. I've used the plastic tool and I've used liquids but this clog is stubborn. Thanks for this video.
Fantastic! Itâs an amazing tool. You can switch around the rubber fitting on the bottom to either sit over the drain like a plunger or to partially insert into the drain, just depends what type of drain your working with. Let me know how it works out.
Handy Hudsonite Will do. I hope the noise isnât TOO loud. I donât want my husband to know I clogged the drain, lol. Actually, it drains but itâs kinda slow. Heâll try to âfix itâ! đ
It is pretty powerful, but your husband should be impressed with the clear drain. đ
@@HandyHudsonite Lol.
hopefully u respond does this help with air bubbles or gurgling sounds ?
Can you use on rv travel trailer ? My tub is clogged.
Thanks for sharing help me out tremendously
Youâre welcome. This tool has saved my drains so many times. Thanks so much for watching this.
Okay, that overflow valve, is the up position open or closed? I dont want to attempt this until I know I have the drain open
Good
This works really well! My drain opened instantly!
Thatâs fantastic! Iâm glad this helped you out. Iâve opened up so many drains with this amazing tool.
It would probably work better if the overflow were sealed off when you do it so the added pressure doesn't escape.
Yes, i don't think he was aware of that, that probably would have cleared a lot faster.
Can u still use this tool when your tab has grill in the drain hole?
Several years ago, a handyman unclogged me kitchen sink with a plunger that use air pressure. He didn't use a CO2 cartridge, but he pumped it a few times.
Impressed, I bought the same plunger for my own use. When I first used it to unclog my bathroom's basin, it seemed to work. But an hour, or so, later, I heard my adjacent neighbor talking with the building's handyman, as he was apparently unclogging the neighbor's batroom basin. It seemed that the plunger's pressure had pushed the clog in the neighbor's basin drain.đą
I no longer have that plunger, but it seems that this plunger's CO2 generated pressure could also push clogs to nearby drains. Was this your experience? If so, we should be cautious about this "unintended consequence."đŽđ
You need to also block the vent?
Poor guy, he sounded so disappointed at first. đ But he took it well! Better than I would've.
Thanks đ
You definitely have to block the overflow to get maximum use. Otherwise the CO2 goes right out the overflow.
I could see that in this video you can see the gas coming out of the overflow. Good call
Yeah that happened to me.. but it still unclogged my drain.. hopefully I won't have to do it again anytime soon..
Hi - Thanks for this video. Just bought this tool, but cannot get the handles to depress. I've definitely assembled it correctly and leaned on it with my full weight, but there is zero movement of the handles. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for letting me know. Make sure the co2 canister is in there properly. You might have it in there upside down. Sometimes it does take some force to move it. If it still doesnât move try moving it without the canister in it.
@@HandyHudsonite Will try it. Thanks!
Where did you get it at
how do you stop the blast from escaping the tub/sink vent hole. cant seal with rag and hand pressure
Duct tape is a very resourceful product
? I believe you should of blocked the overflow hole to prevent loss of power. Have also heard in past that strong bursts of air could also dislodge joints/piping? Not sure on that point.
TNT works as well
Does the blast go all the way down the pipes ? And doesn't it lose force as it goes further down the pipes ?
It's directed one way. It won't lose much force unless the clog is passed a point where the flow can go in more than one direction.
It does work, but I broke something lol...and please wear protective eye wear whew almost took my eye out.
Yes, good advice.
What broke
The instruction say to hold it down for 5 seconds after you penetrate the cartridge.
Good point. Iâll give that a shot next time. That may have helped this one go faster. đ
These are great tools for the DIYer but there are precautions you should be fully aware of. The most important is not mentioned. MOST people will make an attempt with a chemical opener, Wear eye protection and be mindful of improper use, if you backsplash lye, or another chemical opener into your eyes, you'll be wishing you called a plumber. Other then that, fantastic tool.
Thatâs great advice for anyone and a step of safety thatâs so important. I appreciate you sharing it.
i have used 4 of them and nothing has happen. i already paid home depot 170$ for alot of dranos and snake thing and nothing. i will buy more of this today and hopefully it works.
what can be used for a severe clog in a bathroom sink.
Iâve used this with clogs I couldnât get with a snake or other methods. You may have to do it a couple of times on stubborn clogs. What kind of clog do you think you have?
"And, look at that......................."
how is that supposed to work on a tub if you do not seal the overflow closed
A device is needed to block one drain so other can be plunged.
What is this tool call
When your TV doesnât work and you hit on it real hard to get a signal but inevitably shake a bunch of wires/microchips loose.... This is that same premise ... AGHH shit itâs backed up and somethings not working right! Shoot really cold air , at a super strong speed, down piping you donât know the state of and itâs condition! This will be a good idea!
Useless for me as I canât get bath tub drain cover off to use the tool. Are you compacting the clog making it worse? I donât see whirlpool showing it is fully cleared. Running water and draining looked good.
I just bought the product based on your recommendation to unclog my tub drain. I do not want to remove the overflow cap. Did I understand correctly that I can just put duct tape over the cap, without removing it, so I can get a more effective blast? Or do I have to remove the overflow cover & then put the duct tape down?
That's awesome! I think you'll enjoy the product and how it can clear your drain. You can just put duct tape over the cap and see how that works. I covered the overflow in my sink and it worked fine. Thanks so much for watching my demo!
Can getting you help with notification from CZcams in my google mailbox ?, I have tried everything and still can't get it right
Thanks for watching. Check out my video on the 3-step productivity hack for CZcamsrs. Has the CZcams and gmail icons on it. I talk about that subject. Appreciate you being here đ
sometimes you may want to pull the clog out rather than push it down
How about a video to unplug a double kitchen sink?
Good idea David. Unfortunately, I don't have a double kitchen sink in my house. Thanks for watching.
Look at that.... đ..... Welp
.... Huh.....
Musta stunned that clog, it didnt know which way to go for a bit
The only problem I can see with this tool, is that you may just pushing the clog deeper in to the pipes, rather than removing the clog. I would feel much better if I could see all the gunk (hair, soap, fibers) come out of the pipe.
My solution to that is just stop contributing to the clog. Don't use any product that solidifies at whatever the coldest temp between your drain and the sewer. This is one of the reasons I quit using bar soap, unless that's all there is because someone else supplied it. Install a hair trap. Tell everybody to comb or brush their hair before each use to pull out all loose hairs.
next time cover the overflow slot with a rag under the drain lever
Would this work on a clogged toilet?( answer soon please).
I've never tried it on a toilet, but I don't see why you couldn't.
I just bought it for my clogged toilet and it worked great
Not to take away from the tool used. But, taking off the above screws to the overflow, drain stopper and running a simple wire is a lot more efficient to unclogging that type of bath.
WHATS THE NAME OF THAT TOOL
CAN I FIND IT HOME DEPOt
Kleer Drain and yes
$25 at Home Depot. Save receipt in case you do not like.
czcams.com/video/58vDISHcGDQ/video.html
You look like Adam Sandler lol thanks tho man
Read instructions as well as watching this video. Especially read the warnings â ď¸
So...apparently cartridge is good for only one shot?
Right, just one shot.
@@HandyHudsonite you can buy soda Co2 cartridges to use.
Debris came from your overfill drain.
My face when the water didn't move đđ¤¨đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
Good thing I don't care how slow it takes. đŹ
When I can actually get the handle to pierce the cartridge, it works in my toilet. Too aggravating though when I can't get the pierce to occur, which happens 95% of the time. Never as simple as the videos always appear...for me anyway
Be careful I have seen thies blow apart old pvc . And cover the over flow.
Thanks for the tip on this. Yes, thatâs why you need to make sure to put the dampening insert between the co2 canister and the rest of the unit so the blast isnât quite as jolting on the pipes.
@@HandyHudsonite whats an dampening insert?
Next time clog the top hole....the one with the little Lever you lost a Bunch of pressure Through there
Great point! Yes, I realized that after I filmed. Won't miss that next time.
Omar Rodriguez I did that, with a hand towel...it hit me in the face đ
@@leylataber4266 That's funny! You could try covering it with duct tape next time, that seems to work pretty well.
This might be okay for cast iron pipes but seems like way too much force for PCV. Seems like it might weaken the joints.
As in the case of being a plumber no you donât sit there and stare at the water and wait go ahead and load the second cartridge and you blast it again this video wouldâve been way shorter if he was a real plumber
Whatâs happening?
Pipes can be damaged after this pressure. Imo
hard to hear you!
@7:52 time for some baking soda '1/4 cup' and one cup vinegar. Then Pour boiling water down the drain several times. Repeat the boiling water every month to get rid of the soap scum/hair. Get a hair screen if you do not have one.
We had a friend of our daughter stay with us during the Oregon forest fires and when they left my bathroom sink was plugged; used the plastic snake and up came all this fresh hair????
can't hear you
Just saw your elbow
Oh well LOL
I know she said this several times but try it through the other hole.
