Drum augers are also sometimes referred to as hand augers. | |||
 |
The drum contains the snake, keeping it neat and more manageable. The drums are specially designed to keep the snake from tangling and kinking. | |||
 |
Unlike the closet auger, drum augers are not specialised for one purpose. They can be used for a number of applications depending on the length and diameter of the snake within. | |||
 |
Snakes with small diameters of around 6mm (1/4″) are suitable for most household waste systems, including: sinks, showers and baths.
Whereas, snakes with a larger diameter (5/16″ or bigger) are required for toilets and external drains where the pipes are wider. |
