Cup Plunger
The cup plunger is probably the most common special plumbing tool in the home. It has a rubber cup-like shape and wooden handle and is used to clear clogs in sinks, tubs and showers. Do not use this plunger for clearing toilet clogs, that requires a specially shaped plunger called a flange plunger.

To learn more about how to use the cup plunger, see the tutorial How to Unclog a Sink.
