Top Tip: When you have finished unblocking pipe and you're pulling all the cable out of pipe into drum - wipe the cable with a rag as it's coming out. Otherwise the drum will fill up with evil smelling cack after a few jobs. Another great vid, PB. Please keep them coming.

just take it outside, pull the drain plug. Then loosen the 3 screws holding the cover on and pull the whole snake thing out and hose it off. They have a video on this.

Always look forward in watching your new update videos, appreciate your time and making theses videos for fast tracking our learning experience . Most guys learning on the tools I guarantee won't see anywhere near in what you show us, which has helped me to develop as a plumber. All I have is the ro pump rotherberger and if this fails and I can't shift the blockage either by draining rods I lose out on the job and dynorod are called to the rescue which means I'm still covered in crap and don make a bean and I lose out on income. but having a tool like the ridgid would mean I could fulfill all blockages on my own without the need for a draining company. 1 year and 4 months! started on my own and it's hard and tough and expensive but satisfying when you do a good job! Keep up your videos! Everyday is a Skool day!

Love these! I had a k45af until the cable pigtailed after 2 years of use, need to get a new cable but seeing how tidy and compact these are i might have to give one of these a try!

Nicely done. I was busting my balls cleaning out a pipe with vinegar and baking soda then just a snake and finally cleared, then someone told me about this. I just bought one and unboxed it and figured somebody made a video on how to use it. Your video is much better than the manufacturers so thank you!

Thank you, I bought the same device to unblock the waste pipe in my bathroom. Your video helped a lot and it is indeed satisfying when the blockage clears 👍 The only issue I had was with the guide hose disconnecting from the machine while in use and the wire wrapped around itself so I will probably reinforce the connection with a jubilee clip next time.

As a maintenance engineer I turn my hand to anything that will pay the Bill's!food waste disposals are a personal favourite in commercial kitchens etc , waste disposal macerators in hospital wards !

My foot switch went bad after a few use. I by-passed it internally. now I control it with the side switch. a hose clamp around the F-R trigger will keep you from having to hold it for a long time. As the cable moves slow.

I just bought and used one of thse. Much better than the hand crank units and looks like it did the job. My biggest complaint is that one of the bearings in the nozzle control thing came out. luckily it fell on the floor right in front of me and not down the drain. I was able to replace it, but i don't trust these anymore.

Just a though but have you tried reversing the rotation whilst feeding it forwards to allow it to pass through the 90 bend. never used one before but it looks like the sharp point is inhibiting it from passing through the 90 bend.

To get it through that trap, feed it til it stops, then put it in reverse, then press the reverse hand switch, then air switch. It will spin in reverse but go forward spinning backwards. Then when it gets through the trap follow the directions to go forward again. Hope that makes sense.
