Here’s a compact, lightweight tool for quickly opening clogged sinks, toilets and tubs from General Pipe Cleaners. It handles rust, grease, sediment and scale in lines up through 4 in. in diameter.

The Kinetic Water Ram uses a burst of compressed air that drives a shock wave (kinetic energy) through water to break up stoppage. It’s particularly useful when the stoppage is on the far side of a drum trap or a series of tight bends since the shock wave can travel around bends without losing its force. Fifty years of technological advancements and refinements have kept this futuristic drain cleaner a dependable tool for anyone who wants to clear clogged drains fast. The all-metal Ram has a self-contained pump and pressure gauge, so you can hit the stoppage with just the right amount of force. You get instant impact with no build-up of pressure in the plumbing system. The force is transmitted through water, so it’s not affected by stacks or vents.
