Is there a particular type of tool/snake I should get to clean out a drain for a toilet? The clog is close to the toilet, as it doesn't affect the other bathroom toilet. I don't know much about cleaning out plumbing. Thanks for the help in advance. Brian O.
The most simple first attempt and cheapest is to invest in a "plumber's friend". It is a suction cup affair that you put down in the bowl full of water and vigorously pump up and down. It is often enough to clear a simple stoppage.
Here is a picture of one:
Probably in the toilet passages itself. Ask for a "Closet Auger". Hand-operated snake just for this job.

Have you tried a plunger?
This particular clog is a bit more stubborn than the tool you call for. Tried it already. I figured most people were smart enough to try a plunger, that's why I didn't mention it. B
