How It Began
General Pipe Cleaners’ Flexicore® Cable, developed in the 1940s by founder Abe Silverman, has set the industry standard for drain cleaning due to its exceptional strength, flexibility, and resistance to kinking.
Construction and Design
Flexicore® cables are crafted by tightly coiling heavy-gauge wire around a 49-strand aircraft-quality wire rope, then heat-treated. This design provides unparalleled strength and flexibility, enabling the cable to withstand increased torque during tough blockages with minimal kinking or breakage.
Customer Feedback
