I just had a plumber clear my line with this model. I paid him $300, I should have just bought this machine and did it myself. Thanks for the video - now I know.

This video was a life saver!!! I just bought one of these couple of days ago. The book was very detailed. However, you tube is my best friend! I found your video and your demonstration correlates with the book!!! Now everything makes total sense!!! Thank you for this great Video!!!

No need to loosen tensioner to stay stationary. Just put your shifter in-between F and R.

Awesome. This is a perfect demo that most people will highly benefit from. Great job.

I have had one for years saved me all kinds of money worth every penny, nice Video.

Great straightforward job. The manual did not explain how the feed mechanism works. I got it now after watching your video. Gracias!!

Excellent video! Thank you for your kindness and time! Kindness always makes a difference.

Great video, I appreciate you going over the forward and reverse lever on the front of the machine. Thank you.

Thanks, very helpful. Bought this machine, lost instructions and winged it. Bent cable. This helped a lot.

7:07 thank you for including this part in the tutorial. awesome job. 👏👏👏

Very informative. Simple instructions.

Nice video! I have two of these machines (both second handed). When I bought them I found previous owner had destroyed the cable by badly kinking them. So I had to buy brand new cables (cables come with it's own set of cleaning tips) from Harbor Freight and I never kinked my cables over several years of use. The tip is always go in with small cleaning tip first and then follow up with larger tip to clean up. And yes you can clean roots with these, just use small tip first to prevent your cable getting caught up and badly kinking. I pulled up huge chunks of roots from my sewer drain which was causing blockage.

Thanks, I have been debating with myself, on the simplicity of using this snake, I don't use it to often, but everybody else uses it, and it certainly works, glad I bought it, Thanks for your video. James

Video just helped me troubleshoot a small issue I had with mine. MAINTENANCE OF CABLE: extend it all the way out, RINSE THOROUGHLY (you do NOT want caked on sewage on this this), spray down with WD40.

Got same unit and tears through roots if you use the coil fitting! I know had mine 4 years and use it for roots once a year! Sometimes twice a year, and have never used the other ones It pulls the roots and they wrap around bulb! Go slow and I haven't had a problem! Just got done using it before I typed this! Been Awesome in my house!

Video starts at 2:01. Speed up to 1.5 speed to get a quick overview then watch normally again. Great demo, truly helpful. I must have a big bathtub clog as water not draining after bath.

Grate video You cut all the bs Thank you Hope you load more video

Thanks for the video it was just what I needed I got one but didn't know how to use it this was very helpful

Nice video. Bought one and i am thoroughly impressed. I did have to buy an extra cable because my pipe is 75' feet to main sewer line. I do have to add that there is a neutral setting on feed mechanism. Forward is down, neutral is center and reverse is up. Makes it helpful when you hit a root or tough clog.

Thanks for this information i should start doing the job on my home great job explaining Thank you.

thanks for the video. I bought one but haven't had to use it YET.

great video, I purchased one and just saved half the cost of the machine today.

Did a great job explaining it it looks like a good with me it reminds me of the general accept it's in blue

Very helpful video!! As a CPA I read all the directions on everything I buy, with the other 2 people in the country that do also, but this answered convincingly why there are 2 reverses on the machine. Also confirmed my purchase decision. Thanks!!! Put some socks on though ... ;-)

Thank you for sharing. very helpful.

Thanks for this... even 2 years later.

Great video man and thanks for sharing it! 👍

Nice !...now I know how to operation this snake drain machine....thanks

Awesome video! Thanks a bunch.

Thanks Dude! We owe you a beer!

Very beneficial! Thank you

Thank you! Our cable was fully retracted and Dad couldn’t figure out how to get it out! This helped and away he went!

Good review thank you

Thank you!

I purchased all (3) drain cleaning machines from HF when I started my sewer and drain cleaning business (4) years ago. Now own all General Pipe Cleaners drain cleaning equipments. But I still use my HF drain cleaning machines on certain jobs, it’s a great machine 💩

great vid. about to buy this puppy and needed to confirm the feeding mechanism. thanks.

I'm definitely going to buy it. I'm tired of renting one for $45 every time the pipe got plug

I am a professional drain cleaner ,,, it’s not what I would buy for my drain clean business, but it is sufficient,, it’s got the 3/8ths cable that we use for floor drains kitchen sinks and other 2” lines There are Basically 3 categories of drain cleaning machines. Drills ,,,Then this one,, then main lines... this is the middle size.... my 3/8ths cable machines are $700-$1200 machines...but I use all day every day//.. if I on;y was using for myself.... I would buy this..

Awesome video. I just picked one up and I needed to adjusted a few things but not 1 good video except yours. It was really helpful 👍🏽

Thank you! 😊

Great Video - explained nicely - hope you could have added two things 1. Those different fittings provided - just to know it is secured and not coming out - for first time user they might be thinking that way -2. Whats the use of the lever when you tighten then it goes forward nicely but when loose it just spin - any particular use of that. Overall great video thanks

Thanks for the video. Wish I watched it before I used it. Lol

What do you do if you left it in reverse too long and binded it up in the drum?

I bought this machine to clean out my clogged kitchen sink drain. I have removed the pipe from the drain to the wall. The wall is the back of the second floor of the condo so I have to think the pipe takes an immediate 90 degree turn down from where I see it begin under the sink. I watched several videos to learn how to operate the machine. When I insert the cable into the pipe into the pipe into the wall, it goes in to where the pipe should probably turn down and won't make the turn. It just stops and if I keep the cable pushing out it starts to bend etc. How can I manipulate the cable to make that turn?

Finaly a good video lol thx

Interesting...!

I got mine yesterday at $299.99. I used The third one and the top part lost on the pipe. I have tension got into snake box twice. It’s hard to get it released.

I may have ti try this machine for kitchen sinks if i can use a 3/8 cable

Thank you so much for this. Super helpful! Any idea whether or not you can open the drum to untangle the cable? I saw some videos where people commented that might be an issue.

Great video! Do u ever spray anything like wd40 in the drum?

Would you say after having this model for a while is it still a good investment and worth buying? I need to clean out my main 4" drain pipe. I was considering this model. Your advice would be helpful as looking to buy right away. Also, is there a neutral position on the auto-feed lever? Thanks.

I have one of these or aversion of one of these on the way its manual feed but that's okay. I have to call a plumber to snake my main sewer line once maybe twice a year. With my purchase of @250 it has already paid for itself...

Can u make a video on cleaning and maintenance

Has anyone tried to add another 50' section of 63269, Drain Cleaner Replacement Cable And Cutter Set to see if the machine can do up to 100'? I don't think 50' will go far enough for what I need.

Has it ever tangled up when it’s almost at the end of capacity? Is it good for the sewer drains?

Tooo tight!!!!

👍

Do you know how to coil back this drain snake cable ? ( my drain snake machine same model you had now )

Can this do a 4 inch line and how many feet of line does this have can you add on? Thank you

How does it do on 90 degree turns?

Yes i agree and this model is not designed for main sewer lines...its only for interior drains...for very light clogs...it wont do roots and it wont do heavy clogs...so,to me its useless ..just adding input regarding the product...motor is too small and the cutters too cheap and the cable too thin...but its great for toilet ot sink drains

Its identical specs as the cheaper version ....is the powervfeed necssary ?....incant see spending $150 more for unneeded faetures....and i need 100 ft where can i get 50 ft more cable ?

Is it still going strong after 6 years,any problems???

What is the standard length of the snake it comes with ?

Mine wobbles since day one very bad and the drum comes loose and falls out of the bearing. Customer service offers no support or solutions for anything of the sort

I bought it because I have roots in the drain. Any suggestions?

Has anybody here tried hauling this unit up the roof? If so, was it heavy?

How much?

You sound like chris Pratt!

I purchased this same machine. The cable is 50 feet long and I've come to realize that I need it to be longer. I went back to the place where I bought it and was told that the drum can only hold a 50 foot cable. I purchased a second 50 foot cable that can easily be attached to the cable already in the machine. I just tried this yesterday and it was extremely difficult to control the second 50 foot cable sticking out of the machine. There were 2 of us and we were able to run the cable into the sewer line but it was hard and a little dangerous. Do you have any suggestions on how to better control the second cable?

Is this available in INDIA?

Maybe show cleaning a drain

Good video. Cables on those are pure garbage, like a rope.

My man can I borrow your machine ??

Poor man's augar. Their cable kinks alot - then the cable is ruined.

That looks like the 75 foot one

That cable is to soft.if you use a big tip the snake will curl.

That's a copy. I can work with that 🤔

I was about to say you got a hell of a deal. Because that thing is 500$ But then I saw this video is from when Trump was still pres.

Hey to all those who almost died with rubber glovers on🤷🏿‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Will not retract

The problem with this machine is it wont do roots....most sewer drains in older homes in a normal treed atea need to be cleaned due to roots so it makes this item useless

well, there isn't anything you said that the manual can't tell me, you should get with the guy you said took 10 min to open the box, lmao

a piece of junk..
