Where to Buy

Repair broken drain snakes fast.

General Pipe Cleaners’ Quick-Fix™ lets you quickly repair broken drain snakes in the field. The unique Quick-Fix enables you to continue working and finish the job without having to go back to your shop to repair or replace a broken cable.

All you need are vice-grips or a pair of pliers. Once it’s on, the Quick-Fix holds on so tightly that it simply cannot be removed, even if you wanted to.

Keep a Quick-Fix in your toolbox for emergencies and you’ll never have don’t time on the job because of a broken snake again.

See how easy it is to use Quick-Fix. They’re available in 1/2”, 9/16” 5/8” and 3/4” sizes with female or male connectors for General’s Flexicore® left-wound cables.

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.

“There’s nothing like it. It’s fantastic for clearing scale from inside lines. It flies around pipe bends!” That’s Sylvan Tieger on revolutionary ClogChopper® cutting tool from General Pipe Cleaners. “A registered master plumber like me can find lots of work in a city of eight million,” Tieger smiles. “My mechanic sometimes wonders why I put so little mileage on my truck; most of the time, I just travel a couple miles to jobs!” Much of that work is new construction. “That’s where ClogChopper really shines,” he says.
