A ball spring plunger is a simple, but effective tool for clearing clogged toilets and drains. The ball sits on top of the plunger, and when you push down on the ball, it creates a seal around the drain. This seal allows you to generate enough pressure to clear the clog. A ball spring plunger is also less likely to cause damage to your plumbing than a traditional plunger. For best results, choose a ball spring plunger with a long handle. This will give you more leverage and make it easier to clear the clog. A hand retractable spring plunger is another option to consider. These plungers have a ball that is attached to the handle, making them easy to store and transport.
