    How far did you go with the snake ? What size snake / cable did you use ? What cutting head ?

    I went about 8 feet and could not go further. The size of the snake was about the size of a pen or pencil and the tip was slightly larger shaped like an egg. I did do twist the snake off and on for about an hour or more and did get a lot of hair out but with no success in draining the shower. I tried the plunger off during that time also. I think the trap would not let me push anything past it. Any help is greatly appreciated
