DraperDrain Rod Plunger Attachment 4'' | Heavy Duty Outside Drain Sewer Unblocker | 10635

This plunger is thick rubber and ideal for getting a good pressure as you push along a drain. I'd definitely buy it again! Mine had a red plastic top on it (see photos), whereas the one in the Amazon product photo is blue. It doesn't seem to make any difference though.Helpful Hints:1. Buy this and other drain rod attachments, plus thick long rubber gloves and throwaway overalls. You need the full kit for a drain clearing job.2. Buy this kit now. Don't wait until your drains have blocked because that is too late.3. If you've already got drain rods, try to establish whether the thread on your rods is the same as the thread of the attachment, otherwise you won't get a good fit. Threads for rods and attachments come in different sizes.4. Obviously, when pushing the rods into the drain and later pulling them out, only turn the rods in one direction. This keeps the threaded joints tightly together and stops them from unscrewing. The last thing you want is to leave half your kit unscrewed and stuck in the drain!Hope this helps :).

Fitted the threads of an ancient set of chimney cleaning rods and cleared the blockage.

I ordered this at the same time as a Silverline Drain Rod Jointed Scraper 4 inch and the first thing I noticed is that it didn't screw onto my drain rods as easily as the Silverline did and I had to try several rods before I got on that screwed on fully. I was needing to clean my gutters and wanted to push the debris away from me, and I worked really well for doing this and I could add more rods as I pushed away from me. I also really liked that the screwed end to join the rods is removable and have made up a few extra smaller rubber plungers to help clear smaller pipes.So this works but be aware that the internal thread is a little awkward and didn't fit all of my rodding canes (unlike the Silverline which did).

Brilliant thank you

Works well and cleared drain, although beware the blue plastic washer becomes brittle after a year so so you risk losing plunger in the drain. Purchased as I needed next day but the newer sealed/fixed type is a much better design.

Bought as a present for my Mrs after the old one spplit and wore out after years of service with our rotten drains!!! Excellent product, does exactly what it's meant to do.... Maybe don't buy it as part of your lovely wife's birthday presents but hey - I'm still here to write the review ;-)

Did not fit on a standard rod end thread. Waste of money

Simple product that does the job
