New to Prime Day? We have a primer on everything you need to know. Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
You really don’t know what true panic feels like until you’re watching a toilet slowly, inevitably overflow. It’s like a little mini-horror movie you get to experience while you race around the house looking for that plunger you know you have somewhere.
But even when you find that plunger, there’s no guarantee it will work effectively. Old-style plungers require a good seal and some nerves of steel to be effective. A much better choice—that also works effectively on sink, floor, and shower drains—is a high-pressure plunger like this one from HimePro, which is currently 20% off for Prime Day.
High-pressure plungers work by building up air pressure inside (accomplished by pumping it up like a bicycle pump), then shooting a targeted blast of air into into the drain to blow the obstruction loose. This model produces 120 psi of pressure, which is plenty to clear most common drain and toilet clogs. It’s really easy to use, too. You just pump it up to your desired pressure (you can start at a lower psi if you’re worried about damaging your pipes), insert it into the drain, and pull the trigger.
The kit comes with different plugs for different drains, a storage bag (or a wall clip if you prefer), and, as a nice little extra, a pair of durable rubber gloves, since clearing drains and toilets can be messy work. At 20% off, this is a great deal you should jump on if you’re in one of those rare houses with drains and/or toilets in them.
