Works well, instructions could be better

When installing a drill, the shank can be longer to make chuck tightening easier. to make the snake spin in the tube without feeding it, but that means you have to let go of the trigger. That's a bit picky and might not apply to everyone who reads the instructions, but it kind of struck me that the feed trigger would work like a caulking gun. - Each time you pull the trigger, the snake (or sealant) will advance. The trigger is actually a clutch that engages a gear against the snakes' woundโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Clears drain lines from ยพ" to 1ยฝ"
Cons
  • Crumples

Good value for money.

Don't expect this to last unless you know exactly how to use them like a pro. Here's what I found out. I'm not to blame for my 2nd but the instrument. These are flimsy cables that twist easily and ruin them if pulled too quickly! I can't stress this enough! MAKE IT SLOW AND EASY! I screwed up my first app, I tried to work too fast on my second app. The first one was fantastic, I was a little excited. Be careful of the cable size you are dealing with! This is a very small diameter and once theyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The kink-resistant MAXCORE cable is designed for drills with up to 500 rpm.

Big action. but NOT HAPPEN. Not much better than nothing.

I am VERY dissatisfied with this product and should have just gotten a regular snake from my local hardware store because the cord itself is MUCH thicker, this is it it about 1/4 inch (POS). The cable is so thin that it just twists in the duct and doesn't catch the clog. The cable is so thin that I was sure it would break if I used the drill function. The handle keeps falling off when rotating either way, and the "trigger" doesn't work except to prevent the cable from being pulled out. I paidโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pull the trigger and spin the barrel for a clean, mess-free drain
Cons
  • Older model

you must have it!

I can't believe I've owned a home for over 40 years and never had one. I recently had a 60 year old galvanized pipe clogged and thought it was corrosion and I would have to cut out the section and replace it with plastic. The local plumber charged $179 just to come in and try to uproot the pipe. By ordering, I was able to clear the clog deep in the pipe and saved about $120. Yes, it's made by Rigid, a company that's been making quality, heavy-duty plumbing tools for as long as I can rememberโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The cable is held securely in the drum so that it cannot be pulled out.
Cons
  • Updates
