Poor quality

First time I used it two rods snapped at the screw in connections, had to pay £175 to call out a professional drain man to do the unblock and retrieve the snapped rod! Do not waste your money

Missing a piece

We had to buy three sets of these, each set was missing a section of rod so only 9 pieces in each and also the joins are so shallow they break off really easily. Not worth the price and end up costing more. The brush attachment won’t even fit into our pipes.

Useless

Absolute cheap rubbish, used them today and 5 of the connections broke.

Very unhappy

Bought these a couple of weeks ago and was using them to unblock a domestic drain and they snapped at the screw connection leaving 4 rods down the drain

Poorly made

11 of the rods are now in my drain and I am unable to retrieve them. They literally snapped off!

Nae great

I bought this product today to rod an external drain. Light to medium use and the last rod broke at the thread. Thankfully I could recover the rods from the 2nd last length that was left accessible. Wouldn't have wanted to use this in a heavy use application and possibly lost many lengths in a drain line.

Snapped while in drain - only added cost and time

Rodding a normal drain quite carefully the rods broke at the metal joint! Called in a drain engineer to clear the original blockage and paid a surcharge to recover the lost section and corkscrew attachment. I'd suggest raise the manufacturing quality to fit-for-purpose and add a wheel attachment that also allows rodding only (the small wheel protects the pipework).

Unfit product - 1 / 5 - 11/09/2019

Did not unblock external drain

I bought this product to unblock an external drain. The rods are not flexible enough and the corkscrew end snapped inside the drain! I then had to pay £90 to get a professional to unblock the drain (only grease causing the blockage) but he was still unable to remove the corkscrew which is now left in the drain. This product is not fit for purpose

Length

I had to go to the B&Q shop and measure the rods, to calculate how many I needed. Each rod is 93cm.

Not fit for most drains

I bought this today as one of my external drains was blocked. I found that the attachments included did nothing to help and for drains with a water trap (which they should have to stop the smell from the sewer escaping) you need to have a plunger which this does not come with and B&Q dont sell separately, so basically useless. Fortunately I found one to buy somewhere else. .
