Automatic Feed - Faster and Easier

Clearing clogged sink, tub and laundry drains is easier with the Power-Vee drain cleaning machine with automatic feed. We’ve miniaturized our big machine power cable feed and put it on the Super-Vee to give you feeding speed and convenience you haven’t seen before in a hand-held power drain cleaner.

It’s a real labor-saver in tight or awkward places. It’s like having an extra hand. To feed the cable just start the Power-Vee and squeeze the feed lever; to retract it, reverse the motor and squeeze the lever. The feed handles 1/4″, 5/16″ and 3/8″ cables. No adjustment, disassembly, or additional parts required.

Quick Change Cable Cartridges make it easy to switch to different diameter drain cables. You just loosen three screws, pull the front of the drum off and load another cartridge. Changing takes less than a minute and turns what could be a messy job into a clean one. The machine holds 50 ft. of 1/4” or 5/16”, or 35 ft. of 3/8” Flexicore cables.

Power-VeeThe Power-Vee also comes with the new Band-It™ splashguard to minimize excess water spray from the spinning drum.

Our Dyna-Thrust™ bearing system helps carry the weight of the drum, significantly reducing wear on the motor shaft bearing and extending the life of the tool. Also adding to the Power-Vee’s durability is the heavy-gauge stamped aluminum drum. Of course the cables are Flexicore® – with an integral wire rope center. Nobody makes cables like General.

Automatic Feed and Cartridge Refill Cables

To switch to a different diameter cable (or even connect two 3/8” cables together), you just loosen three screws, pull the front of the drum off the cable, and load another cartridge. Changing takes less than a minute and turns what could be a messy job into a clean one. The tough plastic cartridges are so inexpensive, you’ll probably want to store all of your cables in them.

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.

The rugged Handy-Stand turns General’s popular and reliable hand-held drain cleaners into practical countertop or floor machines. Ergonomically balanced for maximum stability, the lightweight portable Handy-Stand fits the Super-Vee®, Power-Vee®, and Handylectric®, All three models are ideal for unclogging sinks, tubs, and laundry drains.

The convenient Handy-Stand makes it easier for you to carry your hand-held machine to and from the job site. The lift handle doubles as a spare cartridge holder and protects your machine from damage. On the job, the Handy-Stand can be positioned either horizontally or vertically for maximum flexibility.

Uni-Stand™

Save your arms and make drain cleaning easier with General’s new Uni-Stand! It securely supports your hand-held drain cleaner when you’re working in tight spaces like under sinks and kitchen cabinets. Just slide the adjustable clamp around the motor housing – and lock it into place for safe, solid support. Adjust the length of the Uni-Stand leg to the height desired. Then rock your machine back and forth as you feed the cable into the line.

Uni-Stand snuggly fits General’s popular Super-Vee®, Power-Vee®, and Handylectric® hand-held drain cleaners. All three are ideal for unclogging small diameter lines in sinks, tubs, and laundry drains. Uni-Stand works with many competitive machines, too!

Snake-Oil Classic™

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.
