I’ve got a clogged sink, and have been reading the labels on a bunch of different products lately. I’d always assumed that they were a strong acid of sorts, which would dissolve whatever sort of material was built up in the pipes. But I’ve noticed that a lot of these products specify that they’re non-corrosive, so I’m not sure what other sort of mechanism may be at play here.

    No tools needed to clean it, you just unscrew that bit at the bottom, and also apparently you get a superiority complex according to some bloke on the internet lmao

        Sorry just seen your reply.

        Did you miss the bit where I said “no tools needed”

        That was the important bit

          but why would I if I can just snake it?

          unscrewing it I have to clean up everything afterwards. I also have to patch the ceiling or re-cover the access hole.

          with a snake, I just snake it. it goes through the plumbing, and I’m done.

          unless I’m missing something.
