    The drain clog was at least 12 feet down but as I now have reason to own things like drain augers again, I own a drain auger again and the drain clog is past tense.

Consider yourself lucky. Two weeks ago the kitchen sink plugged. The Drain King opened it, but two days later is clogged again. I had a 15' augur. No dice, and subsequent excessive use of the Drain King led to the old copper pipe springing a leak down in my basement. I went to Lowes and got a 50' augur. Still, no dice.

I ended up cutting out about 8' of 2" copper pipe and replacing it with PVC. The clog was about 54' from the drain, and about 2' from the floor.
