Option #2: Get a Toto and forget about the plunger.

Dude I never ever use the drop head augers unless its a wall hung water closet. I seen to many people bust out the tops of their traps with the drop head augers. A good K-3 Ridged Auger is just fine.

And I have seen many things left behind by a bulb head auger.
I have pulled many things out of toilets with my drop head and I have never broken a toilet yet...
I believe it is possible in the hands of the incompetent...

I carry three augers on my truck A modified K-6 and K-3 and a General drop head auger. The modification I do is I take a hammer and chisel and cut off the front part of the bulb to make a more extreme hook on the end. There used to be a auger manufacture that mad a straight auger with a nice open hook, but they got bought out and got real cheap in quality.
