5.0 out of 5 stars Air Powered Wonder!, November 2, 2008

This review is from: Sierra Tools JB4606 Air Blaster Drain Cleaner (Tools & Home Improvement)

My master vanity has been draining slowly for over a month. We tried using a plunger with some luck. It would make the flow a little better for about a week and then start backing up again. We have a lot of stuff under our sink and I didn't enjoy the though of removing everything to take the P-Trap off and clean it out, so I put if off day after day.

Then one day last week while at my friends house, I saw this drain buster in her laundry room. She said it works great and said I could borrow it. She told me to pump it seven times and put the correct size drain adapter on the end and it would do the job.

This morning I went to our master vanity and ran hot water till it started to back up. I pumped the blaster seven times and angled it down into the drain. The tip angles to accommodate the position that you will have to put it at to fit it under your faucet. I pressed down firmly to make sure I had a good seal and pulled the trigger! Wow an explosion of black junk came out and all over the mirror, our toothbrushes, Q-tips, tissue holder and everything else that was on the counter. Amazingly none was on me, but what a huge mess. I looked down and the water was rushing down the drain. It worked.

After cleaning the vanity and everything on it, I decided to blast the other drains in our house including the kids lavatory. This time I only pumped it 3 times at first and worked my way up to seven pumps. I also draped an old towel over the sink and blaster right before pulling the trigger. I highly recommend you do this when you are using it on sinks. I changed the tip adapter to the larger one and also did the showers and kitchen sink. Boy what a difference. I came to Amazon to order my own! We are on a septic system and I like the fact that I'm not using caustic chemicals (that often times don't work).

One other bit of info that will help is that you may need to remove the drain stopper on your sink. If yours is attached inside the pipes like mine was you will have to reach under the sink and unscrew the cap that holds the ball and rod in place. If you pull the rod out from the pipe a little you can then pull your drain stopper up out of the drain assembly. Don't forget to temporarily tighten the ball/rod and cap back while you blast your drain.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pump 15 times and seal under standing water., May 22, 2008

This thing is a wonder and much better than having to look at let alone touch the greasy hair gunk that's clogging everyone's drains. Let me qualify my considered opinion that if cheapest and most effective is your route to speedy drains you'd be better off w/ a Zip-It (Ace Hardware); but then again they are'nt worth [...]when confronted with a slow toilet (pun intended). Just reverse the black gasket.
Cheap plastic but it's pretty durable.
Certainly worth the money as it pays for itself if avoiding even one plumbers service call.

This is probably the worst item that I have ever purchased. It was new stock and when opened the plunger housing had cracks inside that were not visible and the air pump did not work. I threw it in the trash which is where it came from.Jobar Air Blaster Power Drain Cleaner
