Default Don't call the plumber: Zip-It to unclog sinks

I just found this incredible cheap and easy tool to unclog my bathroom sink. It is called a Zip-It. Reminds me of a yellow over-size electrical tie-tie with barbed edges. I hate using chemicals. I just can't believe how well this thing worked. You just stick it as far down the sink as it will go and then slowly pull it back up. It did get caught just a little and I had to tug a little. But sure beats the heck out of paying a plumber. Got it at Wal-mart.

They are about a couple of bucks and you can usually find them in Home Depot or lowes.

I don't have the Zip-it but something very similar. I've used it for at least 3 years and it still works great! No more Liquid Plumber!
