JS Jackson Supplies Professional Bellows Accordion Toilet Plunger, Thrust Plunge Removes Heavy Duty Clogs from Clogged Bathroom Toilets, Power Plungers, Jackson Parent (Purple)

Product Information

The hard plastic accordion design is not the easiest to use but many people swear by accordion plungers as the best toilet plunger for tough clogs. Unlike regular plungers, accordion plungers feature a flexible rubber head that can be adjusted to fit into various shapes and sizes. So hopefully I can spare some of you the effort and frustration of trying to unclog a drain with the wrong tool for the job.

We only recommend products we genuinely like, and purchases made through our links support our mission and the free content we publish here on AoM. You don’t need all three of these plungers, just a cup plunger + a flange or accordion plunger (depending on your preference).

While some heavy-duty rubber toilet plungers (also known as “flange plungers”) have an essential part that goes down into the drain, they also still have the rubber cup around the top and for me, the cup always just curls and turns inside out and then I have to waste precious plunging time and energy trying to flip it back. With the right plunger and proper technique, you can save time and money by tackling your own clogs in the comfort of your own home.

This is a good plunger for a sink in your bathroom, kitchen or basement and also works well on bathtub and shower drains. If you’d prefer to have just one, the flange plunger gets our vote for the best all-around home plunger.

Why the hell do all you blogger plumbers swear up and down that the glorious flange plunger is the perfect match for a toilet? The bottom can even be pushed inside itself so the cup can be used on flat surfaces, but for the love of god do not use this plunger for the toilet and the sink. Using a back-and-forth motion while plunging will provide a highly concentrated stream of air and water directly where it’s needed while minimizing splash back.When you push the plunger down, pressure moves downward on the adjoining pipe; when you pull the plunger up, a vacuum action moves the pressure back towards you. A surprising number of folks reach adulthood without ever learning that there’s more than one kind of plunger. This plunger specializes at unclogging stubborn obstacles and blockages, and provides more concentrated power than traditional plungers. To use, place the cup over the opening of the blocked area to form a seal, then using firm pressure, move the plunger up and down for about 20 seconds, ensuring the handle stays pointed straight up.

If the water is still not draining properly, you may need to repeat these steps a few times until the clog is completely removed.This flange fits well over the toilet drain, making it easy to form the necessary suction to clear a clog. We’ll cover the three main types of plungers: the sink plunger, the toilet (or flange) plunger and the accordion plunger. The flexible flange's design fits perfectly into the bowl's trapped shape and creates a better seal.
