Saved me from having to call a plumber

This was the third time our main line had become blocked in as many years. The first two times I called a plumber and both times they just used a machine like this to clean pipes down a drain in the basement. I figured I could do the job and ordered this tool. As a bonus, I wouldn't have to adjust my schedule to be home so I could pay the plumber to do the work. I ran the entire 65 feet of cable through the pipe multiple times using different heads. . The one that solved my problem was the 3 inch hopper auger. He removed some "flushable" toilet paper and eliminated the slow draining and gurgling noises coming from our sinks. Flushable towels were the cause of the problem last time. , so I don't know if we got them all or if someone kept flushing them even after we found out they can't be flushed. One thing I didn't know before I got the machine was that it needed lubrication to lubricate the rotating parts and prevent rust, so I bought a mini grease gun and this set of nozzles. =UTF8&psc=1 The machine has two flush mirrors, so you need a needle port to inject lube into the machine. I'm sure this machine will pay for itself easily and I hope I don't have to call a plumber for a simple clog again.
