I never bother with the cheap, short snakes. I always go with something like the following. I look for the sleeve at the front that's got the thumb screw to be metal, and I look for something that's 25'. I know there is better, more heavy duty stuff, but that's always worked for me and if it didn't, I figure it's better to call in a pro.

I see Lowes has one that is similar and uses a drill. Plus, a self powered snake.
