I have used a shop vac to unclog a double kitchen sink drain. Plug one side and try to get the vacuum to seal around the drain with towels then suck then blow then suck then blow alternately until the clog let's loose.
Also if you have a nasty hornets nest...duct tape the shop bac to the entrance and trun it on for 24 hours or more...they somehow diappear.
Kind of like grampas 72 chevy tailpipe hooked up to the groundhog hole in the back yard under the deck, not anymore of course.
