Review on Ridgid 55808 PowerClear Cleaning Blockages by Julius Hunter

The RIGID 5508 Power Clear sewage treatment plant looks good. It is a pity that the appearance does not match the characteristics. The user, you, is instructed to advance the drill by pushing on the front of the holder through which the drill cable runs, and to remove the drill by pushing on the back of the same holder. The motor and the drum onto which the auger cable is to be wound rotate in the same direction during these feed and retract operations. Sounds good and works until the tip of the snail meets some resistance that puts a torque on the tip of the snail. In these moments, the cable quickly winds up in a heap, both inside the pipe to be cleaned and inside the winding drum, which is worse. As a professional mechanical engineer, I believe that the machine's tendency to form knots on the cable in the take-up drum is a fundamental design flaw. I advise against buying this machine.
