Went to my local Home Depot and asked for weed wacker cable - got strange looks back... Anything else I can use to try to clear drains with?

Thank You!

Those the only words you used? Find it odd that anyone employed at a home depot doesnt understand that..but..

Maybe explaining "string for a weed eater".



You might find it..near the weed wacker aisle..big green and orange reels of it, about 6" wide.

 

Put the tip of a compressed air hose in the drain hole and blow it out, that seems to work best.

 

if you use air pressure use it on low as you can blow off the hose from its fitting the WW string is a better option in IMHO

 

I would strongly suggest that you NOT use compressed air. As Stan says, you can easily blow the hose off of the drain fitting, and it is a real pain to put back on.

 

Do they make really thin plumber's snakes? Call Lowe's or Ace.

 

Weed eater string, I'd have asked someone who should be working at Home Depot after that kind of response from them.

Do not use compressed air on the front ones.
