After reading all about how to use a drain auger I have a question about
it's use.

Are you trying to PUSH the clog, or are you trying to HOOK the clog and pull
it out?

Based on what I've read it sounds to me like it's a little of both actually,
but since I've never used on before I didn't want to start ramming the auger
into the clog and wind up making it worse.
