Appreciation post: Guy at the hardware store saved me $80 on a drain snake

Was about to buy this big electric drain snake for a clogged kitchen pipe, but the old worker there stopped me. He said try a 25 foot manual one first and pour boiling water down after. Worked like a charm and my sink drains fast now. Anyone else get talked out of spending too much on a tool you didn't really need?

Oh, that's the best feeling. Nothing beats an honest worker who saves you money instead of trying to upsell you.

80 bucks for a drain snake is a steal compared to what my shop charges for a plumber's visit. @chen.luna is right, that kind of honesty is worth more than any tool discount.
