teenie: I have two toilets and one of them was acting like it could backup . I found a small snake to use , it did but was not long enough . Then it almost backed up one more time .

I came here looking for one that is like what we use at work . This one came up , I read all reviews and purchased this . One week later just as I’m about to go to work , the toilet did it again . I got this and used it and left for work . I talked to hubby later in the day and he said the toilet is flushing better and sounds strong going down.

I followed the instructions and it is easy . My only issue was after taking it out , where to place it . I had grabbed a large trash bag to set it in until after work and put that in my garage . After rinsing this off and trying to figure the best way yo store this I came up with my best set up , I have this in a tote with no lid and old newspapers in the bottom of the tote . At work we have them in a slip sink , I don’t have that .

The price might scare you , but if you want something to work good , this is it . I hope to never need a second one , but if someone needs one I’ll recommend this .

aguag001aguag001: This manual auger was recommended by Bob Villa. He was spot-on. Worked in one try! Pushed the clog out of S drain to wider main drain just using 3'. I didn't even have to extend auger. Flushed, voila!

I lived with a toilet clog in S drain in MB for 2 weeks until this auger arrived because the idea of paying $350 in my local market for a plumber to do a simple snake job was nauseating to me. I am a 5'3" female, stood on a step ladder to get the right angle, but was able to operate the Rigid auger manually with no problem. No one assisted me and I rent.

Previously, I had purchased and returned for a refund to Amazon because it stunk - greenworks battery operated auger. It didn't work on multiple tries or clear the clog.

This auger is an investment worth it for any homeowner or renter. If you move, sell - take it with you. It's yours and it works.

Lori: I live in an older building and since having my toilet changed to one of the higher efficiency ones that uses less water have had more issues with drains partially clogging. This is the tool I'd seen my plumber use during one of his visits so figured it was worth it to buy one myself and figure out how to use.

First, I highly recommend everyone watch the video that's included in the Amazon product description; it's much more helpful than the lengthy text in the instructions included and saved me a lot of hassles with figuring out how to use this. Despite my short height (5'3") and frame, I was able to figure out the 6 foot auger with only a little difficulty; it does extend quite far out especially when you're trying to extend the final 3 feet of cord, so be warned! My only gripe with the design is that it was very difficult to get that extension out without having the first 3 feet (that are already in your drainage system) retract back.

Otherwise, I'm happy to have this product on hand to save future calls and $$ to plumbers for an issue that I'm able to tackle myself.

Thomas K: Man, this will blow your mind! My kids blocked one toilet for over a month. I used several different kind of chemical and a cheap $20 toilet auger trying to fix it few times but no dice. The cheap one kink like hell and refused to get in there. Only 5 minutes after I get this, I was able to get it down to the bottom and fixed it! One unmentioned function of this is you can connect this with a drill and save you some time!

Robert I. Hedges: The Ridgid 59802 six-foot toilet auger is a professional grade plumbing implement that can be used by homeowners with a little care. After a toilet didn't appear to flush completely I suspected there was a partial blockage. Not being a plumber and after having attempted to use a plunger with no change I decided to buy this toilet auger to see if I could correct the problem myself without calling a professional. I was honestly not sure this is what I needed as the toilet partially flushed and would refill with clear water.

I'll skip ahead to the victory. After getting everything set, it took about two minutes to clear the blockage which appeared to largely be toilet paper. So kudos to the product, it definitely does the job. Having said that I gave it four rather than five stars mostly because the directions are poor. I read them several times before starting, and they were oddly fragmented and ordered with a discussion of using a cordless drill as an attachment right in the middle of the relevant information. Also the diagrams are very small and very unclear. The directions referenced a button to make the cable extend from three to six feet and it is not labeled on the...

Don Zegarta: Had an old toilet that was prone to clogs and a potty training toddler so I decided to spend extra on a good toilet auger.
Packaging was mediocre ,but it arrived safe and with no missing pieces.
This was my first time using an auger so I ended up scratching the porcelain; Watch a tutorial to avoid my mistake, this was completely my fault.
Once I got a hang of it the clog was gone in less than 5 minutes.
