Drill-Powered Drum-Type Drain Snakes


Style A	Style B	Style C

Style D	Style E

Minimize arm fatigue with these drill-powered drain snakes. Do not use with toilets.

Drill Not Included—Drain snakes that do not include a drill can be operated with any _3/8" or _1/2" drill; for optimal performance, use at 350 rpm. A hand crank is included for when a power source is not available. When used with a cordless drill, you get a powered drain snake without being tied to a cord.

Auto-Feed Lever—Drain snakes with an auto-feed lever automatically push their cable through your drain, saving you effort when feeding long lengths of cable.

Slide Action Chuck—Drain snakes with a slide action chuck can quickly switch between feed and spin modes when working through a difficult clog.

Cordless Cable-Type Toilet and Urinal Drain Snakes

With a rechargeable battery included, these drain snakes give you a powered drain-snaking tool without having to attach a drill. They remove common bathroom blockages such as paper towels and baby wipes. The coiled cable head rotates to either break up clogs or grab onto them for retrieval. Since porcelain is prone to scratches, a rubber guard connects the cable and the drain snake body to prevent damage. These drain snakes can also remove clogs in floor traps and sinks. Also known as toilet and urinal augers.

4 ft. Long Cable—Drain snakes with a 4-ft. cable are most effective in urinals.

6 ft. Long Cable—Drain snakes with a 6-ft. cable are best for toilets.
