Will the kind of snake used for sinks and such work in a toilet or do I have
to buy one of the special ones for toilets?

"The Lazy Flush"*

Muriatic Acid has been discussed here before AND it works. Follow
safety precautions.

One of the things that is commonly overlooked is the Jet at the
bottomof the toilet. Not only does wwater come down from the rim, but
it also comes out of the jet at the bottom of the bowl. The jet
release forces water into the bottom channel which causes the
whirlpool. Overtime, hard water buildup can clog the jet giving the
symptoms that you mention. Clean the jet using a tootbrush, and this
should solve your problem.
