If your clog is in the popup drain itself, and your popup is locked down by this connection, then you'll need to remove it, but it's not needed to access the trap below. You can also install the popup so it's sitting on top of the lifter which lets you easily access the drain to clean it in the future. While the snake may be more of a specialized tool compared to pliers, it's the only way to clean some clogs like those in a shower drain, and it can clean a sink drain like this in less than a minute with much less effort. So it becomes a time/effort/money trade off. | |

E.g. check 0:43 in this video youtube.com/watch?v=lJqW7k0KtgE . Concerning the snake I guess it is some kind of special tool. But why use that and not just remove the pipe and clean it? Is it more difficult than I think? | |
