I got a call for a plugged toilet at work a few days ago! Apparently they tried plunging it before I did, but I only gave it one plunge and it cleared. I'm pretty sure most people don't understand how a plunger works.

Mentors like this that make teaching fun and exciting is what makes people WANT to learn and improve. I easily sat down and watched some guy talk about plungers lol. Good video 👍😂

The plunger he is using and recommends is the Korky Beehive Plunger - it is actually a really good plunger. FYI for anyone curious.

Thank you. My plunger is as hard as a rock. I’m keen to buy this.

Your channel is amazing - even for me, a teenager who doesn't have a career in any field. I do have a life path to go into the trades, and i'm stuck between technology/IT and electrician spots. You make the plumbing trade seem welcoming, however i'd rather be wiring servers or outlets instead of messing around in raw sewage. Not exactly my thing! I appreciate your channel, Mr. Wakefield. Keep going! Your content is very educational [not to mention entertaining] even for people who aren't in the trades at all or for people who are in a different trade. Keep being awesome!

Thanks for this and the closet auger video. I'm seriously considering investing in a closet auger. My one year old toilets don't give me anywhere near the trouble my 20+ year old toilets did, but I'd much rather be prepared then having to scramble when the toilet(s) need the service of a plunger and an auger. And, I now know why I've always thought those "traditional" plungers didn't work well for toilets. They're meant for sinks. No wonder they're useless in the toilet. And, I'm requesting a 2022 blooper review or a 2022 best bloopers video. Please.

I'm completely clueless when it comes to plungers thank you for this!

Not a plumber but I’m a hotel engineer so I have to unclog toilets and urinals all the time, I’m gonna get one of those plungers you have for my tool cart because it looks like it works way better than the standard toilet plunger we’re provided. Especially on odd shaped bowls like our Toto brand toilets.

One thing I really hate is that the stores sell those sink plungers as toilet plungers. They’re not even flange plungers (which are designed for toilets and usually perfectly fine. However, as they’re a fair bit more rigid, they may have issues sealing against some toilets), so they should be sold as sink and tub plungers. I also hate that accordion plungers, which are sometimes essential due to the sheer amount of force you can get out of them, are almost always entirely plastic (no rubber, poor seal). Also noticed you giving it a couple of slow pumps first. Definitely a good idea, as it clears as much air, which is compressible, as possible, and replaces it with water, which is incompressible.

So you saying… Soft is better 😊 I knew that! Lol 😝

I'm curious when the flange plunger was invented or became popular. Because 50 years ago, I'd never seen or heard of one.

How about those of us with rear eject toilets? I've found dealing with those is much harder than with a standard toilet.

I use a sewer rod to unblock toilets . Works every time and it gives me some distance from the toilet so I don't get splashed on .

Smart idea! Avoiding the little brown munchkins

I am a bit confused as to whether you are supposed to use the plunger to push the plugged object through on down the line or use the plunger to make a suction and draw the plugged object back into the bowl. I've seen it done both ways. Great video!

So, good to use a plunger and/or auger with the "stuff" floating around in the "pool" ? Tried the baking soda/vinegar thing and the "stuff" rejected it. Now I have a brown "stuff" that has been chemically treated, still floating.

Kind of reminds me of the commission the army did to clarify different shovels in the 1900s

The two plungers shown in the thumbnail are both inadequate. You need the right-side plunger that has the added open-ended oval extension.

Roger you half assed that plunger workout. The cheap old one works better than the others you demo'd. I us an aguer on the job but the dollar plunger at the house. It's too much of a pain charging the customer if we clear it with a plunger so 6ft augers are all we keep on the truck.
