New Way To Unclog Drains
The patented Zip-It is a 20-in. long strip of thin plastic with barbs on both sides. You just push it down a clogged drain and pull it back out.
You don't have to take your drain apart. In fact, you don't even have to remove the stopper.
The Zip-It was invented by Gene Luoma of Duluth, Minn., and is now marketed exclusively by Cobra Products, a leading manufacturer of drain cleaning tools. One day he noticed his daughter's plastic sled had a tear down the center of it that was jagged along the edges. He removed the strip of plastic from the sled and cut some more barbs into it, then pushed it into the drain and then pulled it back out. When he pulled it up from the drain, a fist full of hair came with it.
The idea has had an incredible reception. It's already available at Wal-Mart, Menards, Home Depot, Lowes, and many other hardware stores.
Sells for $2.99.
