Hi Bill, I don't like the power drain openers. A friend used one and it broke a weak drain line. Just like using a plunger most people use it incorrectly. The clog is being packed down and by pushing with a plunger it even more compacts the clog. When using a plunger slowly push it down and quickly pull it back making a vacuum pulling the clog back. Whenever I have a bathroom drain clog I use , don't laugh, duct tape and my shop vac. I put a piece of duct tape over the overflow part of the sink and then hold a damp rag around the shop vac hose making a fairly air tight seal around the drain. The shop vac pulls the junk out of the drain. I then fill the sink with water and add a cleaning agent such as tsp and let it slowly drain. I then repeat the process with the drain closed and let the cleaning solution run through the overflow . I have been doing this about once a year for the past ten or so.
