A clogged sink, bathtub or toilet is one of the most common household problems — and most blockages can be resolved in minutes with the right tool. This guide covers how to choose and use professional plumbing tools: wrenches, pipe cutters and drain-clearing equipment.
Quick Summary
✅ Drain spring — for soft clogs in sinks and bathtubs

💡 Never use excessive force — the right tool replaces strength

What to prepare before you start? 🧰
For any plumbing job, prepare: Drain cleaning spring for soft clogs in sinks and showers. Drain cleaning drum 4.5 m for deeper sewer blockages. PVC pipe cutter (3-35 mm) for cutting interior pipe. Large PVC cutter (16-50 mm) for larger diameter pipe. Pipe wrench for tightening and loosening connectors. Universal faucet wrench for under-sink bolts and hard-to-reach nuts.
⚠️ Important before you start
Never use aggressive chemical drain cleaners (strong acid) before trying mechanical methods — they can corrode PVC pipes and cause serious damage. Always try the drain spring first.
Step by step 👷
- Clearing a clog with a spring: Insert the drain spring into the drain opening. Rotate clockwise while pushing — the spiral breaks up the clog. Pull out slowly, bringing the debris with it. 2. Deep clog with drum: Feed the drain drum 4.5 m cable into the pipe. Lock the screw, turn clockwise while pushing forward. Ease back when resistance drops. 3. Cutting PVC pipe: Position the PVC cutter (3-35 mm) on the marked point. Squeeze steadily — the blade makes a clean cut with no chips. 4. Cutting copper/aluminium pipe: Use the copper/aluminium cutter (3-32 mm) — rotate in increments, tightening gradually. 5. Pipe wrench: Hold the pipe wrench perpendicular to the pipe. Tighten to resistance — not beyond. 6. Universal faucet wrench: For under-sink bolts and nuts in tight spaces — the adjustable head reaches any angle. 7. Flow test: Run water and check that drainage flows freely after clearing.
💡 Pro tip
Professional plumbers apply a drop of lubricating oil to the spring coil before insertion — it slides in more easily and exits cleanly with the debris.

When to use the spring vs. the drum?
Spring for close clogs (up to 1 m) in sinks and showers. Drum 4.5 m for deeper blockages in sewer pipes.
Is a manual PVC cutter enough?
Yes, for pipes up to 50 mm diameter with a clean cut. For larger pipes a saw is needed.
Why is a universal faucet wrench better than a standard one?
Its adjustable head reaches under-sink nuts and tight spaces that a fixed wrench cannot access.
