Maxi-Rooter®

Where to Buy

Root Cutting Power Plus Big Capacity

The Maxi-Rooter combines root cutting power and big capacity in a surprisingly portable machine.

A heavy-duty 3/4 hp motor with capacity start and over-load protection drives a big capacity drum that can carry 125 feet of 3/4” or 150 feet of 5/8” Flexicore cable. Another important help to you is a see-through inner drum cage so you can tell how much cable is in the drum.

Maxi-Rooter’s power cable feed not only drives the cable into the line at up to 20 feet/minute, but has the pulling power to retract it, even on long, tough runs.

Maxi-RooterThe Maxi-Rooter has a surprisingly slim 23″ profile that lets you work in some very tight spots. You can get the machine through just about any door you’re likely to run into with room to spare.

Look at the portability that goes with that power and capacity. The Maxi-Rooter rolls on 10″ ball bearing semi-pneumatic wheels and has V-belt stair climbers for easier transport up and down stairs.

A truck loading wheel mounted on the handle is almost like having another person helping you when you lift the machine into a truck. The frame is a tough aluminum alloy.

Maxi-Rooter In Use

Power Cable Feed

Maxi-Rooter’s power cable feed not only drives the cable into the line but has the pulling power to retract it, even on long, tough runs. Without reversing the cable rotation, you instantly can alter feeding speed to match the resistance in the line. Chew into stoppages as slowly as one inch per minute and retract the cable as quickly as twenty feet per minute.

Portability

The Maxi-Rooter has a surprisingly slim 23″ profile that lets you work in some very tight spots. You can get the machine through just about any door you’re likely to run into with room to spare.

Lift Handles

For easy truck loading, tip the Maxi-Rooter on its loading wheel, then lift and slide into truck using the lift handle on front leg of machine.

Convenient Tool Box

A tool box large enough to hold a set of cutting heads and some tools built into the back of the Maxi-Rooter.

Flexicore® Cable

Heavy gauge wire is coiled around 49 strand wire rope and then heat treated. This cable has unequalled strength and the right amount of flexibility. It’s so tough, it has a one year warranty against defect or breakage.

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.

Snake-Oil Classic™ SDS – Material Safety Data Sheet

Quick-Fix™

General Pipe Cleaners’ Quick-Fix™ let’s you quickly repair broken drain snakes in the field. The unique Quick-Fix let’s you continue working and finish the job without having to go back to your shop to repair or replace a broken cable. The Quick-Fix is available in 1/2”, 9/16”, 5/8”, and 3/4” sizes with female or male connectors.

The pre-welded spring connector attaches easily in the field. Cut off the damaged cable end, thread the Quick-Fix on, and secure it with pliers or vice-grips—no welding needed! Once attached, it grips so tightly it won’t come off.

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.
