A drain cleaning device for removing debris from a drain is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the drain cleaning device includes a handle section; an elongated rod section connected to the handle section, the elongated rod section including one or more longitudinally extending ribs disposed along a length thereof, the one or more longitudinally extending ribs configured to add structural rigidity to the elongated rod section, and the one or more longitudinally extending ribs further configured to facilitate the cleaning of grime from a side of a drain pipe; and a tip section connected to the elongated rod section, the tip section including a plurality of hook elements disposed thereon, the plurality of hook elements configured to grab and collect debris from the drain pipe. In one embodiment, the plurality of hook elements comprise a plurality of injection-molded micro-hook elements.

A drain snake device having a rotatable handle crank at one end and an interlocking opposite end. The interlocking end is uniquely attachable to a corresponding attachment end portion of a disposable elongated snake segment. A slidable sleeve, that moves axially along the distal end of the handle between a locking position and a release position, fully engages or releases the disposable snake segment, respectively, and also simultaneously allows or blocks rotation of the handle crank, respectively. A kit containing a reusable handle and two or more uniquely corresponding snake segments is also provided.

Separable drain snake device and kit

A compact, smooth surfaced, flexible and formable, elongate apparatus that has a hair-clog snagging end portion for insertion into drains for snagging and removing the common hair clogs that exist in the upper portion of drains typically around the drain pop-up mechanism and drain trap. The elongate shaft () may be bent along its complete length into any shape and remain fixed in that shape to accommodate compact storage as well as forming a grasping and twisting handle for the shaft while it is in the drain or bending the hair-snagging end of the shaft for easier insertion and navigation within the drain. The hair-clog snagging portion, which is at the distal end of the shaft, is in the form of a pad (), which maximizes the surface area of hair hooking members (). The hair-snagging pad consists of the hook portion of hook-and-loop fasteners and contains a multitude of miniature, hook formed, polymeric elements which aggressively entangle hair-clogs for quick retrieval from the drain without dismantling the drain and without using dangerous chemicals in the drain.
