drain snake
Clog removal tool
A drain snake is a flexible tool used to clear clogs from pipes and drains.
It consists of a long, coiled wire or cable that can be fed into a drain and rotated to break up or retrieve blockages: I had to use a drain snake to pull out the hair clog.
Also called a plumber's snake or auger.
