Quick-Grip™

The new Quick-Grip™ chuck tightens firmly on the cable with just a quarter turn. Three chuck jaws securely hold 1/4″, 5/16″ and 3/8″ Flexicore® cable for a wide range of small-line jobs.

Operate the D-25 Handy as a Hand Tool – or a Power Tool!

Simply remove the turning handle and attach a 3/8″ or 1/2″ electric drill for extra muscle on tough clogs. With a capacity of 50 ft. of 1/4″ or 5/16″, and up to 35 ft. of 3/8″ Flexicore® cable, the D-25 Handy easily unstops sink, shower, toilet, and laundry drain lines from 1-1/4″ to 3″ in diameter.

Flexicore cables come with a regular head or a down head to maneuver the cable though tight bends. Flexicore® wire rope center cables are coiled tightly over a core of aircraft-type wire rope – then heat-treated – giving the cables outstanding strength without sacrificing flexibility.

Attach to Any Drill

Take off the turning handle and attach to any 3/8″ or 1/2″ drill

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.

General Wire Spring founder Abe Silverman first coiled spring wire tightly around a wire rope core in the 1940s. Since then, generations of plumbing and drain cleaning professionals swear by the “Flexicore advantage” – matchless cable strength, kinking resistance, and flexibility.

I was hanging out in the General Pipe Cleaner’s booth at the WWETT show in Indianapolis talking to customers when I met Michael Jackson. No… not the Michael Jackson of moonwalk fame; the plumber from Indianapolis! He might not have sold as many gold records as his namesake, but after talking to him for 15 minutes I was convinced that he had talents that would make his peers green with envy.
