Unclogging a kitchen sink

A clogged sink or shower can be cleared easily enough with a $3 plastic "Zip-it" hair catcher but what about a kitchen sink clog?  Usually the blockage is further down than the hair catcher can reach because of the way the plumbing lines have to be postioned and you need something with a longer reach to get to it.  


This basic hand crank plumbing auger can reach up to 20ft down the drain and rotates as you turn the handle to catch and clear what is clogging the drain.  This tool can be found at most hardware stores for around $20 and is a good investment for you weekend warrior tool kit.
