For me absolutely worth paying the $400 for a 75’ powered snake to clear out my main line under the basement floor that recently clogged……which also backed up my washing machine…dish and laundry, and kitchen sink….I rented one from HD. Got it home and the snake line was bent rendering it useless. Had to carry it back up stairs and return for another one. These things are very heavy. HD doesn’t check operating condition once returned as they should. Never again will I rent one.

As for the little hand held ones, definitely do not buy one that can not be attached to a power drill
