  • Video: "How To Unclog A Drain" by RJ The Bike Guy (1:48m). This DTL drum auger has a locking lever instead of the thumb screw shown in this video; however, the process is the same. Note: When retracting the snake from the drain, clean it as you push it back into the drum, which the author does not do.
