IT WORKS!
The plunger is lightweight, easy to use, needs little strength, and NO MESS. Everybody should have one in their household. The only down side is you have to take it apart and clean it, but it’s worth it. I rarely leave reviews but this need more hype. Say goodbye to 🪠 and hello to this pro plunger.

    worse plunger
    used 3 times and i struggled with it to work, this last time did not work and the black point at bottom came off, broke and is not worth 30 dollars. DON'T BUY

      It definitely works
      Very easy to use in clean or dirty water. Simply suck up water from the bowl or other source by pulling back the plunger. Then wedge the nozzle tip down into the clogged drain and push the handle down with a little force. The clog should clear with one or two tries. Takes fewer attempts and causes less splash back than other plungers. If you have any "organic material" that get stuck on or in the plunger the components come apart for cleaning.

      Declare War on Your Blocked Toilet!
      Remembering last Holiday Season’s extra “gifts” from our guests, I decided to be prepared for whatever those little munchkins dumped into the toilet bowls including fruitcake, I think. The JohnnyJolter looks like one of those air space guns we got to play with back in the 1960, but is a serious weapon against clogged toilet bowls. As described on the package, it is a power plunger of unique design. The back of the package has clear illustrated directions for operation. In 5 easy steps, you should be free of that unwanted clog. We gave it a workout immediately after someone called a plumbing emergency in the powder room. I did not have time to wait for the swan neck auger to break up whatever was downstream, nor did I want to use an old fashion plunger while wearing dress clothes. The unit worked as advertised. I do not recommend attempting to use chemicals to assist in unblocking the toilet, as backsplash could be more of a hazard. Clean up of the unit is quite direct and illustrated on the lower section of the back of the packaging. I recommend saving this backer for later reference. A big plus is that this item is made in U.S.A., assembled by Disabled U.S. Veterans. It is distributed by K-CO products, LLC from California.

      Power Shot
      This is an interesting bathroom plumbing tool. I was not sure about it at first, but quickly got the hang of it and saw just how amazing it is. While it will not help with major plumbing problems, it is designed to give more power than the plunger to unclog a toilet. It does that quite well. The instructions are easy to follow. It is easy to clean. It is a little bit more to store or hide than a plunger, but the power it delivers is worth it. It is made in the USA.

      Backup
      This plunger is by far the most powerful one yet. When testing the product, I felt that my hands were closer to the water than a standard plunger. The thought of using the existing water and fill the plunger, and after wards cleaning it is a little scary. I am definitely keeping this as a back up, but still using the plunger first. I absolutely love that it is assembled by vets.

      Easy use, easy clean, works great
      I have had so many plungers rot out and become useless. This plunger is substantial, and made with materials that look like they can survive the test of time. The fact they are assembled by disabled veterans is “icing on the cake.” The lubrication on the plunger shows real care in the assembly. One day the drain in the bathroom basin was slow. I decided to use this plunger. Yes, I cleaned it well. Fortunately, the spout on the basin faucet swings to the side easily. I could get this plunger directly on the drain. I disconnected the drain plug from the lever inside the drain. I could close the drain, but also completely remove it to use the plunger. I closed the drain and filled the basin. I sucked water up into the plunger. I removed the drain plug and used the plunger directly on the drain. Wow! I got stuff out of the overflow channel of the basin. The drain had cleared. I did the same again. It seemed like the first time was all it took to clear the drain completely. I will keep this plunger where I know where it is. I decided to use it on the kitchen sink. It fits perfectly in the drain opening. Again, I stopped the drain and ran water in the sink. I sucked water into the plunger, then removed and plug. The plunger allows a lot of pressure on anything stuck in the drain. Finally, it was needed on the toilet. I put as much “clean” water in the toilet as possible to minimize the mess inside the plunger. I was so intent on cleaning the toilet I forgot to take a picture before the push. I sucked water into the plunger and one push on the plunger at the bottom cleared the toilet. Then, with clean water in the toilet the plunger was basically self-cleaning by repeatedly sucking clean water in and pushing it out. You can also remove the front funnel and sanitize the funnel and the plunger for the next use.

      works on odd toilets
      We have Toto toilets where the beginning of the hole is a rectangle and then there's the actual drain. Normal plungers don't seal as they are for round openings. Fun fact, you cannot return a plunger in CA. Anyway, worked great, clear drain after 2 tries.

        Compare to your toilet profile first
        Johnny Jolter PRO Power Toilet Plunger Country of origin - USA (made by disabled Vets) As a concept, the Jolter is Brilliant - a no-chemical, no-auger, hydro force solution to a clogged loo. The idea is to draw up about 1 or 2 quarts of toilet bowl water into the "barrel" and then plunge the water through the small hole at the bottom,, presumably blasting through the obstruction.. This has a better chance of working if the small hole @ bottom of bowl is round, like the softer rubber tip of the Jolter. Ours is U shaped, so no sealing fit. Cool idea, and supporting Vets, but not a "go" for our potties. Recommend, with reservations.

        Well Made & It Works
        Clearing blocked toilets is inevitably messier than I thought it was going to be so having a simple, straightforward tool that is easy to use and effective is a huge benefit. This plunger is definitely more powerful than any other plunger I have ever used and it's a lot less bother than getting the snake out and using that. The instructions are right there on the side of the tool so I won't lose them, another good benefit.

        Just in Case
        The Johnny Jolter PRO Power Toilet Plunger looks like it would fit much better than the usual plunger, but it fits in the hole to force water through. It comes apart easily after where it is been, which is a must to clean it. Some other reviewers wrote about the plunger coming apart, but this plunger is different than their pictures because it is all black and the disc on the bottom is bolted on.

        It worked on a trial blockage of TP
        This seems to have a great deal of force. I created a paper only blockage to give this a try before we needed it. A single plunger full of water cleared it out no problem. I hope I never have to suck up anything previously known as food in this but it would clean up easy and really no worse than cleaning a plunger. Just stick the end in the water and fill it up. Keeping it under water so no water runs back out, stick it in the opening at the bottom of the bowl and push hard to clear it out with much more force than a plunger.

        The Power of Water
        Over my many years now of reviewing tools and other products I've managed to avoid delving into anything of a scatalogical nature, despite the temptation on occasion to describe products that disappoint with a certain offensive reference to poo. That moratorium has now ended, as I've found a marvelous product that turns one of the worst bathroom nightmares into "no big deal". The Johnny Jolter PRO Power Toilet Plunger uses water under pressure to blast through even the worst toilet clog, clearing the mess without the backsplash and resulting mess common with most plungers. Simply place the nozzle into the bowl water and draw back the handle to fill the plunger, move the nozzle into the bottom of the bowl to create a seal, then push down on the plunger to force a jet of water against the blockage. Most clogs clear after one try. Clean up is easy, just draw clean water from the bowl to flush out the plunger. For a deeper clean, the plunger disassembles. As the parent of a child who delights in clogging the plumbing, my hat's off to the Johnny Jolter - highly recommended!

        A great plunger
        The Johnny Jolter PRO Power Toilet Plunger is a great plunger. I tried it right after receiving and found it really works. I is the best plunger I have used. You need to follow the directions in the information but it plunges. It is easy to use and draws enough water out of toilet to plunge easily. The force used to plunge is quite right. I will recommend this plunger to anyone.

        Power Plunger
        This Power Plunger looks and feels like it will suck any and all waste out from the street. I am not strong enough for the old suction plungers with the heavy duty stick. I don't always have the need for a plunger but when I say this powerful one I felt maybe this will do the trick. It's light weight and with a few pumps on the handle I think I can do it myself.

        Simple and effective
        The Johnny Jolter pro power toilet plunger is a very simple but very effective toilet plunger. All you have to do is simply place the end in the toilet, pull back on the handle letting it fill up, then place all the way down in to the base of the toilet and push down on the handle and it easily will clear away the blockage without making a mess or any splash back. The unit is very easy to keep clean and to use. Nice compact design for easy storage under the sink or in the linen closet.

        Easy to use.
        I like this plunger. While it is limited to use on toilets, it does an excellent job of unclogging them. So far, it has done its job in one shot. It even comes apart for easy cleaning. To use, you draw back the plunger, filling it with water. Then you push down the plunger, pushing the clog down into the large pipe the toilet sits on. The harder you push down the plunger, the better job it does. But the way it is designed, you can put your body into it if needed.

        Gloog Buster
        This is one toilet unclogger that really packs a punch and does exactly as it states. Simple as 1-2-3 to rid the clog with no guesswork. Works with old model toilets and the newer hi-efficiency models This Johnny Jolter professional power plunger producers up to a 150 psi blast of water to unclog the most stubborn toilet clogs. Also works great with clogs in bath, lavatory and kitchen drains. This device has been member tested and recommended by the Handyman Club of America. Made in the USA of quality American parts which are assembled by disabled U.S. veterans.

        Good design and production.
        This thing is simple and effective. Think of a huge syringe (without a needle). The nozzle has a soft plastic end that fits into the outlet. You draw some of the water up into the plunger and then and push the plunger which drives the water forcefully through the drain. There is a convenient handle to hold the plunger with the other hand, so you can get a good push on the plunger. The plunger can be taken apart so add some petroleum jelly to the plunger to improve the seal. The tool is made from a tough hard plastic and the end is made from a softer plastic in order to fit into the shape of the toilet bowl. When testing it I could hear the water shooting through the drain. A copy of the instructions (with color images) is attached to the tube. Made and assembled in the USA

        Good try
        Hmmm. Great idea. Basically well made by good people. It is not going to replace my other tools. The black nozzle is heavy and thick but hard and doesn't really try to seal to the trap. While a strong man can certainly deliver, as claimed, a 150 pound push, that can't transfer to the clog without seal. So it must rely on rapid water ejection, but it needs some air-holes in the top for that to happen. It is large and heavy and clumsy. After use, you can rinse in the fresh water of the new flush, but... then what? It drips!! Even rinsed, there's an ICK-factor. It really needs a hanger-hook to go on the toilet rim or lid so it drips nicely.

        Better than the old way
        I plan on updating my toilet cleaning equipment with this. I have used the old style plunger for years. The old standby rubber plunger tends to make a mess and often does an inadequate job. This new style is much less messy and forces far more water through the toilet than the old way.The big well designed handle allows you to put a lot of downward pressure on the tool to keep it seated in the trap. This minimizes any splash-back and maximizes the amount of force and water delivered to the trap.

        Powerful Plunger !
        Was very surprised to open the box when I ordered this plunger and see the size of it! Wow, this thing is a good size for working with when it comes to plunging toilets. It makes the regular plungers look like toys! Lol It is very easy to use. Twist the handle to unlock it then submerge the black cone shape top into the water below the water line in your toilet. Pull up on the handle to draw the water in, make sure to press the cone head snugely into the drain hole,then push the handle down with some force and you can hear the power that it pushes the plugged toilet water down the drain! Repeat if necessary. Then cycle(flush) fresh water 1 or 2 times to clear and remaining material... Good instructions written on the handle of the unit along with periodic cleaning and maintainance instructions. I had no idea there was a unit available like this until I saw it on HD site. This plunger seemed to work very well for the clog we had, but our toilets don't get much abuse like some families with children do, I'm sure !! Would recommend it....

        Works like a Champ!!!
        Per the instructions, we filled the toilet bowl with water to the bottom of the toilet bowl rim and suctioned up this water into the plunger. Then, after placing the plunger cap firmly against the toilet drain opening, my husband pushed the top plunger handle down quickly to forcefully push the water through the inside of the toilet. He had no problems and it did the job quickly. The plunger is 21 inches long by 4 inches wide with its side handle extending out another 5 inches. The plunger is 31 inches long when the top plunger handle is extended. The side handle is very sturdy and will make it easy to hang up this plunger on our garage wall when not in use. Made in the USA and assembled by “Disabled U.S. Veterans”! We’re very happy with how easy this plunger was to use!!

        Great idea, poor execution.
        It works great when new, then it needs continuous maintenance, the bolt at the end of the plunger comes off and eventually breaks off; a big metal bolt screwed on a cheap piece of plastic -- i.e. not nylon or ABS.

          When nothing else worked, this did!
          I tried baking soda and vinegar, then hot water and dish soap, and an uncurled wire clothes hanger. The water was going down very slowly overnight, so there wasn’t a complete blockage, but it was still very worrying and I didn’t want to have to call a plumber, especially in a pandemic. This tool worked perfectly on my Kohler toilet and my one important piece of advice to you is to put plastic wrap on your toilet, on both sides in a V shape, and across the back, leaving a small hole in the middle for the pump to fit into. Make sure the plastic is sealed on all the edges. I did this and it contained any water blowback, so no mess on me or the floor. Recommended!

            The Bazooka
            I've had issues for years with my upstairs shower even with new plumbing drains to the main. A plunger would do it for a shirt period if time but still drain slow. Finally the plunger wouldn't clear the blockage at all. Went to get Drano and seen Johnny, ONE SHOT is all it took. I couldn't believe it. The spout was kinda in the way but it still worked even on the shower! Best part! MADE IN THE U. S. A. Highly recommend!

              New and Improved Design
              The manufacturer replaced my plunger and the problem with the pipe dislodging has been resolved. You can see that pipe is now securely fastened to the mouth of the plunger. The plunger still works fast, and since it fits the drain perfectly it is more powerful. I only have to push down once. I recommend this product.
