You need a 5/8 cable for roots. I used to be a manager in a Home Depot rental now just an associate. When you rent the 50ft or 75 ft they only have the heads up to 2inch. The 100 ft comes with heads up to 3 in.
Nice work! I think you'll be getting a call from that car dealer. These prices on new vehicles are unbelievable. The best way to make your old truck run better is to price a new one!😊
@@tomdale1313Good questions. Mechanical drain cleaner is a simple motor used to drive a cable through a pipe or drain in a boring motion similar to a drill, constantly rotating the cable in a clockwise direction. Water is often simultaneously fed into the pipe to flush out any obstructions. Always start out using a spade cutter if it fits in the cleanout. The spade cutter will open most clogs and has less chance of escaping a broken line because it is a larger tip. It also has less chance of getting stuck inside of a root system because it is a larger blunt object. Another name for the spring head is a bulb auger. I hope this reply helps.
I just bought a Chevy Express. Fully decked out with metal shelving and large 4' deep drawer slide out the back. Love it man. BUT VAN PRICES ARE FKING INSANE RIGHT NOW. It fits both of my MYTANA drain machines and all my plumbing tool for service and remodels. It was a gamr changer. I was working out of a 03' Chevy silverado.
Good work Brian. When the black water came back out the sink, I was waiting for something nasty to float up. 😂 I looked up your big snake. Wow they are getting a lot of money for those now ,even without the auto feed.
I have a kitchen sink with a single lever pull out spout that is very hard to turn to the left and right, I sprayed it with pb blaster but it’s still hard to turn, any ideas? Thank you Steve
Yeah definitely not paying ABOVE MSRP. Fix the old gal up. Or look around for a good used rig. I looked for 2 years and finally found a really nice GMC H D, 4x4 w/ utility body, w/ high top capper on it. Plenty of room and she's a beast 💪
Don't buy a new truck, look for a low milage used vehicle or buy a wrecked vehicle at auction and have if fixed up like new and you will save big money in the long run if you have the cash for the deals.
Not sure what you’re driving but even if you had to invest $3000 to get it running good you’re ahead of the game. Prices on new and used vehicles are crazy plus the interest rate will kill your monthly payments. Just my 2 cents worth, good luck👍
Love the videos, just be careful because a lot of warranty companies won’t back for call backs in the 30 days from my experience, of that drain backs up again, you doing that for free
Hey, you talking to me, that's too weird my anonymity feels removed...SOAP OPERA CONTINUES, I got a Ryobi snake too, made me 100 fast ones the other day (retired on SS, I'm 71) I do little jobs like a small drain job or faucet repair, lowered a kitchen waste height (old galvy pipe 11/2")...I like that snake you're using and how you got the adapters off Ebay too, I need some more info to copycat your set up, need help with the Ebay hook-up got to have the self-feed a must for this old man...what size cable is that you using?
Hahaha, i am loving my ryobi so far!!!yep im 34 and i still love small jobs. That's the 3/8's that comes with it. Yea that adapter just Google or look it up on ebay ridgid to general pipe cleaner adapter. Yea I'm spoiled, I need a self feed on everything I buy lol 😆.
what model is it, is it made by Ridgid...home depot sells them@@thehandymanexperience226 K-400 AutoFeed Drain Cleaning Snake Auger 120-Volt Drum Machine and C-32IW 3/8 in. x 75 ft. Cable + Tool Set & Gloves $887.00 Home Depot
RIDGID 57043 Power Spin+ 1/4" x 25' Hybrid Drain Cleaning Machine Snake Auger with AUTOFEED, Manual or Cordless Drill Operated Drain Cleaner with MAXCORE Cable....IS THIS THE ONE YOU HAVE?????
You’re going to mess up that cable if you do get into roots with that large cutter. There’s a reason only certain heads are made for that size cable and machine. I’ve never been a fan of drum snakes for many reasons. If you do decide, one day, that you are going to get into some serious sewer cleaning using a cable, look at the Ridgid K60 sectional machine with a 7/8” cable. I have run 200’ cutting roots with no problems with the K60. This is the king of all drain cleaning machines - high speed and high torque. You can use 5/8” cable in the same machine with a simple adjustment if you want, but I save my Ridgid K50 for those jobs.
My k750 has a 5/8 cable and it does take a 3/4. Dude urs sounds like a mad dog lol 😆 that just rips it to shreds. I already hate the 750 cus of how big it is. Yea I just looked urs up alot of people love that one.
Thanks I fully trusted Dennis. He was so quick to know so I pretty much knew he has watched many of your videos. Glad to have found it myself. I love channels like these.
