Drain-Rooter™ 3 - General Pipe Cleaners

The Drain-Rooter drain cleaning machine is a real labor-saver on long jobs or working in a cramped area where the weight of the machine could get burdensome. It makes clearing clogged sinks, tubs and laundry drains easier on your back – and your arms.

This compact counter top model drain cleaning machine has a unique variable speed pneumatic foot pedal system that lets the operator vary the speed of the drum – allowing both hands to be free to control the drain cable. The Jacobs chuck grips cable to prevent cable tangling.

The rust resistant aluminum drum carries up to 50 ft. of 5/16″ or 35 ft. of 3/8″ Flexicore® wire rope center cable. It also comes with the new Band-It™ splashguard to minimize excess water spray from the spinning drum. Complete units include five-piece HECS cutter set.

Features

  • Clears clogged sinks, tubs, and laundry drains in 1-1/4” to 3” lines.
  • Jacobs chuck grips cable to prevent cable tangling.
  • Variable speed double insulated motor.
  • Drum speed can be varied by changing pressure on the foot pedal.
  • Band-It™ splashguard minimizes excess water spray from the spinning drum.
  • Rust resistant aluminum drum holds 50 ft. of 1/4″ or 5/16″, or 35 ft. of 3/8″ cable.
  • Flexicore wire rope center cables have unequalled strength yet the right amount of flexibility.
  • Made in U.S.A.

Snake-Oil Classic

A great way to extend the life of drain cleaning tools & equipment

Snake-Oil Classic™ preserves and protects sewer cables against rust and corrosion. It’s better than common lubricants because its special rust inhibitor cuts through moisture and replaces it with a rust-resistant coating. You’ll significantly extend the life of your cables and sewer machine, including the drum, bearings and power cable feed rollers. Snake Oil Classic also includes a deodorizer to give equipment a fresh, clean smell. Available in quarts or gallons.

ClogChopper®

Rip through tough stoppages with the unique ClogChopper® multi-function cutting tools. Six self-sharpening blades dig into encrusted debris and root masses, easily grinding up stoppages, scale, and crystallized urine, without risking pipe damage.

The spherical design maneuvers around tight bends and traps, thoroughly and safely cleaning metal, plastic, and clay pipes. As it spins it also self-sharpens as it scrapes along the pipe walls. It’s excellent for clearing stacks, downspouts, mains, as well as for drain lining jobs.
