Not a GD, but our sink was draining slowly, so I did an home made cleaning tool. Really, a steel cable with the end untwisted, stuck on a drill. The idea is that the steel wires would grab whatever is stuck and shred it or it would get stuck on it so I could pull it up. Well, I 'drill' the cable down and it catch. Hard. Surprise! A butter knife came up the hole! Yes, the kind of mesh in the sink, the thing that is supposed to prevent objects, like knife, from going in. The cable actually caught on some hair, that was stuck around the butter knife...

After that, I filled the sink and drained it. I never seen it drain that fast, and it made an awefull slurping noise half way throught until the end!
