DraperD 10635 Drain Rod Plunger Attachment

This plunger is thick rubber and ideal for getting a good pressure as you push along a drain. I'd definitely buy it again! Mine had a red plastic top on it (see photos), whereas the one in the Amazon product photo is blue. It doesn't seem to make any difference though.Helpful Hints:1. Buy this and other drain rod attachments, plus thick long rubber gloves and throwaway overalls. You need the full kit for a drain clearing job.2. Buy this kit now. Don't wait until your drains have blocked because that is too late.3. If you've already got drain rods, try to establish whether the thread on your rods is the same as the thread of the attachment, otherwise you won't get a good fit. Threads for rods and attachments come in different sizes.4. Obviously, when pushing the rods into the drain and later pulling them out, only turn the rods in one direction. This keeps the threaded joints tightly together and stops them from unscrewing. The last thing you want is to leave half your kit unscrewed and stuck in the drain!Hope this helps :).

I needed a replacement Drain Rod Plunger Attachment and chose this as I recognised the brand. The only issue I had was that it's not fully compatible with the rods I have. The problem is the threaded connector is much shallower than the thread on the rods I have. This makes me uneasy about using it as it doesn't look secure and I feel it may come off and cause a blockage. Perhaps there are different connections for different brands so if like me you thought they are a standard size beware.

I ordered this at the same time as a Silverline Drain Rod Jointed Scraper 4 inch and the first thing I noticed is that it didn't screw onto my drain rods as easily as the Silverline did and I had to try several rods before I got on that screwed on fully. I was needing to clean my gutters and wanted to push the debris away from me, and I worked really well for doing this and I could add more rods as I pushed away from me. I also really liked that the screwed end to join the rods is removable and have made up a few extra smaller rubber plungers to help clear smaller pipes.So this works but be aware that the internal thread is a little awkward and didn't fit all of my rodding canes (unlike the Silverline which did).

I wanted a 6 in disc, and when I searched for "6 in drain rod plunger" this was one of the first to come up., so I ordered it. In fact, it is only a 4in one. OK, after it came I went more into the "see more product details" and it is described as 5 x 9.6 x 9.6 cm ... so I suppose it is sort of there there. It would help if "4 in disc" were part of the main description though.

Draper 10635 drain rod plunger, was concerned it would not fit my 10+ yr old rods (very course thread) after reading the reviews, but it does. Worth checking the tightness of the bolt securing the rubber disc, even using locknut glue if your worried it might unscrew during heavy use.
