PLUMBING 101 HOW TO USE A CLOSET AUGER THE RIGHT WAY

[@jancronkite5571]

This is the best explanation and demonstration. Being recently widowed, I am learning to do many things on my own. Thank you

[@RogerWakefield]

You are so welcome!

[@XDONJON]

Yes it is. Just watched a bunch of vids they do not compare. I’ve been doing maintenance in a mining camp and didn’t know about the ext. 🤦‍♂️ haha I’ll pull the toilet off and buss out the drum auger. Haha

[@ssmatthews]

I watched a ton of videos about how to unclog a toilet drain and many about using the closet auger in particular. Yours is the first that talked about the extra 3 feet. Great job! Thank you for sharing your expertise!

[@trueunited3167]

thank you so much, literally bought this thing at 8 am from home depot and within 20 mins i was able to unclog my toilet. saves me $250 -$300 plumber would of charged.

[@elainedavis6325]

Thank you so much I have purchased this and I have one for my home but I did not know how to use it properly are used to always use scratch marks in the bottom of the toilet so now I know the proper way to use it thank you for sharing…

[@TheDreapiece]

I’m on my way to Home Depot to buy this. I loved the realness of your video. I’ll let you know how I make out!

[@Conradcarbet]

I use the exact same auger. I have a slight bend on the tip of the spring and it catches a.ton of stuf i hooked child's toothbruch the other day and have pulled adult diapers from deep in the toilet. Its also great for removing flushable wipes that aren't able to be pushed through. Just slowly pulled them out until i could plung the rest.

[@crapmaster5000]

im glad you are getting huge! your videos are awesome, keep up the good work!!!

[@guysmith8662]

I knew my Auger had an extension, but I didn't understand how to use it. A very clear, instructive and useful video. Tried it on my clogged Toilet pipes. Toilet is flushing again like new. Thank You.

[@RogerWakefield]

One of the best tools there is IMO! Glad I could help

[@guysmith8662]

@@RogerWakefield 100%! I'm so happy I didn't have to pull the Toilet. I'm getting too old to do stuff like that 😃

[@RuneSwagga]

Good call about losing the handle. I lost mine months ago... rip. But I prefere a drill anyways. No need to feel anything on these little guys. I'm hammering through whatever in there. If I can't get it, I'll pull a toilet and run a real cable down there and that's that's the delicate work starts

[@gravitywins4742]

I just unclogged the toilet with the auger for the first time with your help! I run a small bnb business so I'm sure I'll have plenty of toilets to unclog in the future. Thank you so much for the clear guidance!!!!

[@RogerWakefield]

Awesome! You're going to be a pro in no time.

[@SadUncleTed]

I have been a service plumber for 8 years, and a plumber for 10. I did not know my auger had an extension. It does. Do you know how many wall hung toilets I've pulled off, just to find the hypodermic needle surprise hidden 6 inches past my auger? Oh man my life starts today.

[@eddyvideostar]

To Kyle: What are you actually saying?

[@SadUncleTed]

@@eddyvideostar had no idea she got that long. It'll help me not have to manually remove garbage/sharps from public toilets.

[@eddyvideostar]

@@SadUncleTed: Kyle M: You pros of long tenure and experience sometimes scare me. In this case, not knowing the features of your tools after all these years.

[@deannawatts1571]

Thank you Roger! Because of you & your video, we are not helpless females!

[@BubbaRayable]

VERY helpful! Got my toilet unclogged using your method and likely saved myself $200. Thanks!!!

[@visionique]

What can i say? I have the same tool as you and my toilet has been clogged for many days. I was waiting on scaffolding so the landlord could inspect the Stack pipe as even after i was able to get a free flowing bowl, my family could only use it for peeing as solids would not pass through. water from the sink or the bath would back flow ( when blocked) into the toilet so we could not bath, shower or do the washing for feat of it over flowing the toilet. After watching your video I realized my mistake, I too have the 6ft version and thought {as i could hear it in the stack pipe (right angled not down into the floor)), that it was fully extended.. after seeing how you got the extra length I did the same and Hey Presto! the blockage has gone, though i felt no resistance (i used drill on end rather then winding it) You have saved me the expense of scaffolding, asbestos checks (old pipe) and poss having to replace the toilet itself as idiot that fitted it cemented it into position. p.s. I also brought one of those pressured air guns, worked well for a bit, just remember to put it in and angle back BEFORE pulling the trigger to avoid back spray lol (something another reviewer didn't do and got covered haha Many thanks for this video!!!

[@Usererror401]

Thank you so much! Always educational!

[@Broken_Arrow58]

Can't thread snake. Where does the trap passageway begin: bowl bottom or back? Thank you.

[@VedicSuccessFramework]

Thanks for guidance. Quick question. When I extended full 6 foot of cable, how do I retract back in original position after cleanup? I am not able to achieve and now 6 foot cable is all out

[@davidcombs3617]

Turn it counter clockwise and pull to rectract it. Remember you pushed down and cranked to go into the toilet so you're just reversing the process.

[@fllynch12]

same question, but in particular, how do you get the buttons to reset to the same positions they were when you bought it?

[@Sjcnruvhrj]

Awesome video!

[@quiet1050]

What I never knew,awesome thank you

[@psfgtech]

Is this a 6 ft or 3 ft lauger , it looks like a 6 ft lauger based on adding another 3 ft

[@kc0eks]

Can you do these onsite? It's just. Not the same in a set

[@notwencardozo-m3n]

Any tips for low ceiling homes?

[@chadhazael4377]

Roger the man the myth the got dam legend.. didnt know about the handle and extension. You taught .e something new. Only pushed about 50 turds easily through

[@daisyyen]

can you use it for kitchen sink after detaching the pipe under the sink?

[@Hengry-hn7rb]

I have two , one in my garage & the other in my truck they are great ! I have unclogged my family’s, friends, neighbor’s, strangers, & rangers toilets 🚽.

[@williamwilson3145]

What brand name of closet auger and where did you get it. I need one to service the commodes at our church and parsonage. Thanks Bill

[@51-FS]

Ridge .... home depo has them. They was Luke 60 bucks a couple years ago. So now probably 100 bucks

[@BlueCollarBoom]

Joe had a typo. It's a RIDGID brand closet auger.

[@patevans3709]

Bauer from Harbor Freight is the same for $30 today. 4-23-2023. VERY sturdy--great price. Super video! Thank you!!

[@kidica]

What if the auger pushes solid materials instead of pulling it out, is that a bad thing? I'm afraid of causing more damage. Should I just remove the toilet bowl instead?

[@citricacid9]

Hi ,what is the model or typ of aguer Ridgid???

[@imadrainblaster3138]

Rigid makes a good one but husky is cheaper but rigid is where its at

[@paulbrungardt9823]

Thank you -- Well Done . I owe you a beer.

[@hughbrackett343]

The maintenance guy at a building where I worked carried his auger in a bucket.

[@crapmaster5000]

I like to keep a black garbage back to store the drain auger in after im done!

[@Allintn22]

They make a carry bag for that not sure if you are aware or not

[@51-FS]

I use a old small body bag

[@SadUncleTed]

I shake it out in the tub and flip it upside down while running out of the house

Hi! Most of closet auger videos I saw use a toilet bowl model which has the hole going forward so all you have to do is push the closet auger. But our toilet bowl is a different model. The hole is backwards. Can you please make a video using that kind of toilet model so those of us who have a different model of toilet bowl will also know how to use the closet auger. Thank you!

[@bbj9643]

I have a very old version of these left behind by the former homeowner at my house. I was going to toss it until.my father in law told me what it was and i would be stupid to throw it away. Well, thankfully I'm didn't because I just pulled what looks like a wad of dryer lint stuffed in a toilet paper tube out of the toilet after 2 plungers, a lot of mopping, and about an hour of work. Using the auger took as long as this video with nothing more than a slight bit of elbow grease.

[@Straycurrent]

I’ve been looking for my readers, and now that you mention it I haven’t looked there yet. I’ll grab my auger from the tool room.

[@sambromley7394]

I’m a maintenance engineer for a large casino here in Las Vegas and I’ve used these pretty much daily. You’d be shocked at what can get flushed, I’ve pulled out a brand new iPhone, sunglasses, shirts, underwear, wigs and of course paper towels and the like lol

BULL when you say that you can get another 3 feet by just pushing in the button. Even when you push in the button and start pulling out, the button does not appear in the lower hole. Why did I waste my time and money on this piece of crap. I’ll call the plumber tomorrow.
