You gotta be careful using those plastic drain snakes though cuz I've heard stories of them breaking off before.
Basically, you push it into the drain slowly until there's resistance and it's pretty much gone the full length it'll go.
Then you start twisting it over and over until there's just a slight bit of resistance again, and you slowly pull it out of the drain.
If there's ever a bunch of resistance during any part of the process, you gotta back up (if inserting) or push back in (if withdrawing) and sorta just feel it out and finagle it until the process starts going smoothly again.
Never force any part of the snaking process whatsoever because it could cause too much tension and the plastic really could break.
I've never had one break on me even back in the early days of using them when I was a lot less conscious of the "feeling it out" process.
All of 'em are the same, so always sort price low to high when you're browsing for them online.
I'd never buy them in the store, way overpriced if they're even for sale at stores at all, no idea.
