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.

Water Jet Drain Cleaner Nozzles

Attach these nozzles to your high-pressure water line to flush grit and grime out of blocked pipes. They’re compact enough to fit through tight curves and elbows, and powerful enough to loosen debris and flush it away. The orifice at the front of the nozzle shoots a jet of water to pierce the blockage. Orifices at the rear propel the nozzle through your pipe, rinsing grime off of the pipe walls as they go. These nozzles are often used in place of drum-style drain cleaners—however, they do not have a blade to cut through tree roots or other dense material.

Air-Powered Tube Cleaners

Launch foam cylinders through hose and tubing to power away dirt and deposits. Unlike cleaners with brushes, these work on flexible, curved, and coiled tubing as well as those with fittings, valves, and 90° bends. Connect the gun to your compressed air with the included quick-disconnect fitting. Attach a nozzle and load a cylinder that matches your tube ID, and then insert the nozzle into your tube and pull the trigger. To thoroughly clean the tubing, you may have to use a second cylinder. Cylinders are single use.

Gun and Nozzle Kits

Gun and nozzle kits include a gun and nine nozzles for the following tube IDs: _1/4", _3/8", _1/2", _5/8", _3/4", 1", 1 _1/4", 1 _1/2", and 2". The cylinders are not included.

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.
