Hey People

I spend 2 dollars on hacksaw blades because the others were i live suck and bed easily and i cant find any plumbing snake :cry: I have tried bunnings and they dont sell it I even asked a plumber and he said he had never heard of the flat spring steel plumbing snake, i asked my metal work teacher and he said to get it from reice hardware but there is no reice hardware in geraldton :? So tomorrow ill try homehardware but i dont think ill have much luck Anyone one else got some suggestions.

Thanks everyone

I have made some nice picks from plumbing snake, I find that if you go to some of the cheap asian stores you can find great stuff there, now heres a tip, when you do find the stuff, Go the completely flat stuff and is usually cheaper, becuase if you get the anti-rust stuff you get this weird residue when our grinding it down. Its just an annoying thing I find.
Am I like the only lockpicking girl around here...

Try "fish tape". Electricians and alarm installers use it for running wire.

*sigh.There isnt really plumbing stores in geraldton except bunnings and like i said they dont sell it so there wouldnt be much point looking on the net for plumbing supply in geraldton.

Thanks for all your help anyways people.

But i am going to try Home Hardware Hopefully they might sell them Because its annoying spending 5 dollars for 2 hacksaw blades :)
