Flexicore^® – Rental

How It Began

It’s the snake that makes a difference

General Wire Spring founder Abe Silverman developed the first Flexicore Cable in the 1940s. Since then, generations of plumbers and contractors have considered Flexicore the industry standard for drain cleaning cables because of its matchless strength, resistance to kinking and flexibility. Made from heavy-gauge wire coiled tightly around a 49-strand aircraft quality wire rope, it has unequaled strength with just the right amount of flexibility. This unique cable is used on all General Pipe Cleaners drum-type machines. Flexicore gets stronger as more torque is applied. This allows it to clear tough blockages with less kinking, breakage and downtime. Less downtime means more work performed and more money for you. Flexicore is so tough, it’s the only cable that carries a one-year warranty on defects. In fact, it’s the only cable in the industry that carries a warranty – period. Surveys and feedback over the years confirm that successive generations of plumbing and drain cleaning professionals consider General their “preferred brand”. Flexicore cable remains a core reason why General continues its industry leadership with the “Toughest Tools Down the Line”!

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.
