ABSTRACT:
A tool is constructed and adapted for dislodging debris obstructions in a toilet bowl and similar other drains. An elongate longitudinal shaft extends from a handle end to a curved blade end. The curved blade end is broadened, expanded and flattened from the shaft, the blade gradually curves and narrows from the broadened, expanded and flattened portion to a pointed tip end. Sharpened edges surround the perimeter of the curved blade end. In use, the worker grasps the tool by the handle end and inserts the curved blade end into the debris obstruction. Twisting, chopping and churning actions are exerted with the tool to agitate the debris obstruction to a flushable state.
