This is one of those tools that made me wonder how I've lived without it. It's so easy to use -- just push the snake into the lavatory or shower drain as far as it will comfortably to, give it a couple twists and turns, and pull out the hair. It may take a few (4-8) tries to get all of it (my hair is medium-long, just below collar bone). The wire is plastic coated so it makes no marks on your sink, and the business end is small, tapered, and covered with a Velcro-like surface about an inch long that really grabs the hair. Tip: Wear rubber gloves, because you have to pull off the nasty clog with your fingers. At the top of the snake, the smooth plastic grip makes pushing and pulling the snake easy. (To freshen up the drain once finished, I add about 1/2 cup baking soda then 1/2 cup vinegar, followed by hot running water after the fizzing stops, but this is up to you. I also pour about 1/2 cup household bleach in my lavatory and shower drains every month to kill off mold and other smelly stuff; but again, up to you. I have no small children at home, so I don't have to be as concerned as parents of young children might be.) My Turbo Snake is kept under the sink in a plastic zip bag so I can always find it.
In summary, this product does what it's designed to do, does it well and easily, and is reasonably priced, especially considering liquid drain cleaners won't eliminate hair, and it may possibly save you a call to the plumber!
