Klein Tools, the electrical hand tool brand, has come out with a new steel toilet auger, 53018.
Kleins says that the auger’s quick-release handle, dual-lock storage, and protective boot enhance professional performance and that the comfortable grip reduces fatigue during heavy-duty toilet unclogging applications.
Why not use other augers or drain snakes on toilets? You can, but shouldn’t; this one is specially designed to reach around the bend and also has a protective boot that reduces the chances you’ll scratch things up.
Like others on the market, the Klein toilet auger has a hybrid drive where you can use a crank handle or powered driver.
From my search, the Klein is priced a couple of dollars lower than competing options.
Price: $60
Interestingly, you can also order the new Klein tool from Lowe’s via Instacart, but I could not find any Lowe’s product page or listing for the toilet snake.
