I used sink plungers in toilets pretty much my whole life until i scrolled across a similar diagram one day and discovered the truth.

      Haha, that commercial is very funny, but it actually works?

      is it shooting compressed air?

      it has a 12 shot magazine?

      I don’t quite understand what it is.

        It’s essentially a handheld air cannon. The kit comes with a handle and a suction that covers the toilet hole or whatever. You press down and yeah…it’s basically a air-gun shot to the clog.

        And yeah. It works great. Not always on the first blast. But I’ve never had it fail me.

        Ha ha. No no. I’m pretty good. No problems with the old downstairs plumbing. But it’s not just for toilets. It’s for bathtub sinks clogged with hair. Kitchen sinks, etc… It’s just handy to have around the house. I even used it once to blow the dust out of my dryer vent.
