When it rains, it pours, so be prepared!

I don't have an auger, but I do have one of these plastic hair snakes.

That's what I use. Works great in our bathroom sinks.

We did have a clog in the drain pipe that the washing machine goes into recently and the plastic thing wasn't long enough. Our handyman came over with an actual snake/auger and cleared that for us. I think that's the first time in 30 years we've needed a clog cleared that way so I'm not rushing out to buy one of my own.

For my kitchen sink I should add that I had to remove the p-trap. Usually the clog is in the p-trap but in my case upon removing the p-trap and visually inspecting that it was clear of debris, I had to go to Home Depot to get more aggressive tools. So I reinstalled the p-trap and first tried the liquid plumber gel concoction which I let sit overnight to no avail. So, the next morning I knew I had to step it up a notch and removed the p-trap again and used the snake which worked like a charm.

Well that makes not want to use a plunger on a drain, which I've done.
