Thrift is a professional grade drain cleaner a plumber recommended to me. It's powerful stuff so make sure you wear gloves and a mask. It cuts through everything.
Be careful with those! A lot of the more powerful drain cleaners are concentrated sulfuric acid, which can ruin any metal parts of your sink and plumbing. And if they don’t work, and you end up having to snake the drain anyway, you can get chemical burns from the drain cleaning chemicals still in the pipe.
Not saying I’ve never used it in a pinch, but be careful.
