Consumer Drain Augers: Manual or Power?

Sep 11, 2007 1 Replies

I'd like to snake out my slow-running drains. Home Despot has a Ridgid manual auger, or a Ridgid model to which I can attach a power drill.



Is the power model a real advantage? Or is it just more clutter beneath an already cramped sink?



Thanks.

I've actually had better luck with the manual ones. I get a better feel for resistance in drains. Unless you plan on snaking drains every week, why spend the extra money?
