I don't normally write reviews but I felt I had to warn other consumers. The velcroe tip is not securely attached. It is just sticky backed and stuck on at the end of the snake. IT CAME OFF IN MY DRAIN!!!!!!! I should have known better. I could see it was not on there well. But I thought I would give it a shot anyway. Luckily it came off near the top of my drain and I was able to pluck it out. Needless to say the whole thing then went in the trash. Not worth the return shipping. I bought this product based on the positive reviews. I wanted to get a more accurate review out there to help warn future consumers of this product.

I had a slow moving drain in the bathtub and I tried the liquid products, but they couldn't make the drain flow any faster.

So many times these As Seen on TV products are complete garbage. I said for under $10, I would give this a try and holy christmas, it picked up hair and some other gunk that was clogging the drain and the drain is now working better than ever. It did it really fast. Just give it a slight twist. The wire inside the Turbo Snake is flexible, but I am not sure on how durable it is since I have only used it once.

The gunk that it will pick up will be a little gross and it could splash your eyes so use a little caution. The gunk is also tough to get off of the gripper for the Turbo Snake. You may want to wear rubber gloves, if that grosses you out. Its main job is to clear out any hair, paper products or anything else that we get stuck down on our drain pipes. It will not cure any type of serious pipe issues. You get one for sinks and one for the bathtub and they give you a nice hook to put it on the inside of your cabinet door so it is easy to find should this happen again.

I would recommend buying it either on Amazon or Bed Bath & Beyond with a coupon because if you buy direct from the TV, they will overcharge you for shipping. Give it a try, and I am giving it 5 stars, basically because I went to Lowe's and the Home Depot and they did not have it and only had the professional grade type and I am not a professional at anything.

This product removers hair balls from the elbow joint of sink drains. The directions say to insert and twist, I twisted so much it almost broke off,it did peel of the plastic coating...so be careful. It did remove a hair ball but I threw that one away after one use, I have a second one I will use but with less "twist". It worked...

This is a total waste of money. Poor quality and much too "soft" to go anywhere. I imagine they'll be in every Dollar Store and flea market this summer.

We tried using this in both our sinks and bath tub. We had no luck removing any hair or clog.

Product did not work as touted. It's a piece of Velcro fixed to the end of a flimsy piece of rubber-coated wire. Didn't reach the clog, it's a bent up mess, and my drain was still clogged. Do NOT waste u

your money.

The product consists of two pieces of wire each with a plastic tab on one end and and a piece of velcro at the other end. Neither the tab nor the velcro was glued properly and came off when I tested to see how well they were fastened. You run the very real risk of leaving the velcro inside your drain causing a blockage that will not be cleared using DRANO. The producer of this is a charlatan and a rogue.

AMAZON - do yourself a favor and take this product off your web page, it just makes you look bad to sell such crap.

I was hopeful that this might work, as there are three females with long hair in my family. However, the tool is not nearly long enough to reach the clogs in our drains. Also, it was really hard to maneuver. For my applications and skill set, this was useless. Drano Max Strength and LOTS of it finally did the trick. I hate using chemicals like that but there was no way this was helping me.

In the Master bath the sink Drain has been slow and I have used draino and other products, bought this Turbo snake and it worked like a dream!

1. They sell these at some $1 stores.

2. The velcro end broke of in the drain when i was pulling it out

3. It grabs lots of hair, but it's hard to clean

4. Waste of a $1
