In the Denver metro, where they practically charge us to breathe, I've been paying ~$230 every year to clean out my old home (1959) sewer line. In 1 use I've practically paid it off. Worked great - but be aware that setting 1 is the one to use for going in and out. 2 reverses it but you shouldn't use it for extended time when pushing or pulling. I either missed that point in the manual or it wasn't clearly noted. Once I figured that out I was Handy Manny! Thrilled with my purchase.
Its a divine tool to have as a small business. One of the features that I hate, is it doesn't have the bigger pipe cleaner tools. It comes with the standard one inch attachment, but it only busts up to at least one inch. I ordered the three and half inch and four inch clean outs as most sewer outlets get to four inches in size. Great price, very great quality, very simple and easy to use. just lacks in features.
I have a sump pump pipe that gets clogged by a tree root every 4 to 6 months. I was renting the machine from Home Depot but decided to buy one. This snake works well for what I need. Cuts the root fast and easily. It is a little heavy but not like other brands.
Works great for my needs, re winding is a pain though, 75 feet does well for my kitchen back wall clean out, I wish it had a front lock for the cable ,I've rented others that wer 50 feet but couldn't reach the problem, so had to get a bigger one,
I didn't receive an invoice is my only complaint as I need this to send to corporate office. I submitted a ticket for this but have not received any response yet. Other than that, the product is great
Good buy. Instructions could have said belt goes around the snake frame. Included gloves are rubber, good for pulling snake out. But NOT good for feeding or pushing into drain pipe. As instructions say need leather gloves for feeding. Worked fine for my purposes. I purchased the 1/2 inch snake. The 3/8 inch snake & frame could be purchased as an attachment, I think. Thereby, having two size snakes if needed or wanted.
This message is not about what i bought.It is about the aweful customer service!!! This is still not open,I have been waiting for a return address label. I want to order the 100 foot ,as i did not see it when ordered the 75 foot. Customer service is a big deal,and you are lacking it.
