A snake drain cable (aka drain auger cable) is a flexible steel cable tool used to clear clogs in pipes, sinks, drains, and sewers. It works by feeding the cable into the drain and rotating (manually or via machine) so that the tip or cutter end breaks or dislodges blockages like hair, grease, roots, or debris. The cable is typically made of hardened steel (sometimes manganese steel) to resist kinking and wear.
