Got pic related and located a blockage about 3,5 meters (11 ft) into the 100 mm (4") diameter drainage pipe.

Tried concentrated lye but didn't help much, it only dissolves organic matter really well.
For scale I could use hydrochloric acid but I'd have to use a boatload, I reckon.
Years ago i helped replacing part of the pipe which was blocked in several places with what I guess was urine scale.
Pipework is plastic and about 30 years old. The pipe of concern is behind tiles and I'd rather not knock these off, if I don't absolutely have to.
Borrowed a manual drain snake from a neighbor but it's meant for small diameter pipe and a little too wimpy for the job.
Looking at something like this now:

Does anyone have experience with these and can recommend one that doesn't leave me with a stuck snake in the pipework?
Other suggestions?
