How Well Do You Know These Plumbing Tools?
4. What plumbing tool is best suited for removing stubborn clogs from floor drains?
Correct Incorrect An auger, also known as a drain snake, has a long, flexible cable with a cutting or grabbing head that can reach deep into pipes to break up and remove clogs. A tubing cutter cuts small pipes, a flare tool is used to create flares on the ends of pipes for connections, and a soldering iron is used for joining pipes by melting solder, none of which help with unclogging drains.
