Plumbing Augers

Plumbing Augers

Plumbing augers reach deep into drain lines and break up blockages that standing water, chemical treatments and plungers cannot clear. Tractor Supply carries augers in our plumbing product lineup for sink, tub and toilet clogs, available in a range of cable lengths and diameters.

Get to the Source of the Clog

Plumbing tools and accessories, such as augers, work by feeding a flexible metal cable into a drain line until the tip reaches the clog. The cable rotates to break up or grab whatever is blocking the line, whether that's hair buildup, soap residue or grease. Most augers fit 1-1/4-in. to 2-in. drain lines, which covers most residential sinks, tubs and toilets. The auger’s cable length determines how deep into a pipe you can reach, so longer cables are needed for deeper blockages. Slow drains that haven't backed up completely can still benefit from an auger, which clears partial buildup before it becomes a full clog.

To meet various applications and experience levels, our selection includes a variety of types, including:

Drum Augers

Drum augers step in when plungers aren't enough to clear a stubborn sink or tub clog. The cable coils inside a round drum that controls how much line extends into the drain. Most models use a 1/4-in. carbon spring wire cable and connect to a standard power drill, which spins the cable to break through compacted debris. Cable lengths typically run from 15-25 ft., enough to reach past most home drain lines. Rust-resistant wire on certain models keeps them ready for use without any extra upkeep.

Manual Augers

For clogs closer to the drain opening, hand-operated augers get the job done without a drill. Open-hook boring heads snag the clog and pull it free, which works especially well for hair buildup in bathroom pipes and tub drains. A crank handle gives you direct control over rotation speed, so you can feel when the tip finds the blockage. From 3 ft. for a toilet to 50 ft. for longer sink lines, cable lengths span what most drain jobs require. Reusable constructions and nonslip handles make these augers worth keeping on hand For Life Out Here.
