Abstract: A snake directing tool for directing a sewer line cleanout snake in either direction of the sewer line connecting a building to the main sewer line. A two way cleanout, accessible by means of a vertical pipe connected to a pair of Y-arms, having a baffle form therein connects the vertical pipe to either a main sewer line outlet or a building sewer line interconnected by a horizontal pipe. The tool is insertable into the vertical pipe and abutable onto a baffle. The tool includes a side wall for directing the snake toward the building sewer line or the main sewer line outlet.
