Ridgid FlexShaft K9-204 70' Drain Cleaning Machine 2"-4" Pipe 64273 - Ohio Power Tool 

Plumber/DrainTips before auguring a house or residents drain line use hot dishwashing detergent like Cascade mixed in a milk gallon jug and let drain into pipes and sit for 20-35 minutes. Makes pipes slippery to run auger thru. Make sure if your jetting a line with water jet have a wet/dry vacuum that can hold 5 to 10 gallons of water for a quick clean up so to prevent a real mess. Create an adapters to fit the toilet tank filler waterline if you need to run water to a drain jetting system that way you do not have to run a hose outside the house to get water for the drain jetting system.

For a second there I thought that was Ben Affleck in the flannel shirt. 😂🤣

Looks Like It Has Real Good Applications with Sludge/Grease Buildup, but I can Foresee This Design Getting stuck With A major Root Intrusion. Just Have to Be careful And Run A Camera Through out the Line Beforehand . Great Idea Though

Pipe lining tools FINALLY coming over to the service side!!!

You can’t see the clog if the sewer line is clogged. It’s full of sewer water .

Oh shit I thought it was Ben Affleck

Man its cool to see ben afflecks alcoholic twin brother getting his shit together. Good for you, man.

Bye bye drill motor after not too long

I think this would be great for grease/sludge build up. The thing I don't quite get is how to retract with two hands?? U need one hand to power the drill, then two hands to retract and wipe the sludged up shaft unless you stuff it back into the drum full of crud? This design should have a foot pedal. I'd love to hear from the Ridgid guys on this. I've never seen a real world demo with black sludged up drain which covers the cable/shaft. Also haven't seen how this drum come apart for service/cleaning.

“Ridgid FlexShaft” sounds like a rated R late night movie on HBO. #stayclassy

Wont work great in cast and galvi

Yeah but if you get it stuck and that happens frequently you are out a very expensive cable and now you are in the red or right now I gotta cut open a vent to remove the cable so now I’m down a full day a expensive cable and it took way longer to clear the drain no thanks I’m selling mine I’ll stick with the old unit especially for the price if you do 10 drains and the one catches your cable you will start losing money fast I’m out fuck this machine

Fuck Ridgid Ive got a lifetime parts and service $500 saw. Discontinued the saw and no more parts. Never was able to use it. Ridgid sucks

So this is what happened the Ben Affleck from stardom ⭐️ to drain cleaning with his long lost brother Teto. Ben’s day signing autographs and cleaning 🧻 pipes what an award winning combination !!!

No service plumber I know would use this garbage! GTFOH

I preordered both models.I do own a flex shaft cable with different sized chains.The reason for buying the rigid is because it's enclosed,my cable is loose and does get dirty and as much as I love how well it works having it in a drum makes for a cleaner job.

🤔 Not sure about bad roots... Greese is easy to get out with the right head but roots...

That thing looks like a beast, just wondering if it will disrupt the pipe connections? Nice vid!

Lets run this piece of shit off my drill......itll work great! 🤣

Been running the camera for many years with the cable…no problem.

Norm Abrahams from New Yankee Workshop called, and he wants his flannel shirt back. 🤣😆😂

Can the camera see through the water that is backed up?

No way this will last, looks good on paper but powered by a cordless drill? Wait till you get in a heavy scale or root line, bye bye batteries!!

Oh so this is what Ben Affleck is doing now...

Too much vibration. It will break off all the pipe joints

Bye bye drill motor after not too long

Looks interesting. I don't like that it doesn't have it's own motor. If a cordless drill can run it, you could have made a very small, light weight, removable motor. I like to have a foot pedal to have both hands free to manage the cable. It looks like it would be awkward to run with one hand working the drill. What about kinks? How much for a new cable/shaft? 27+ year service plumber.

Was wondering there for a bit why Ben Affleck was endorsing a rigid drain cleaner

manage a mobile home park and im constantly renting either the 100 foot auto feed or the smaller 75 foot one i can run in the 2 inch or the 4 inch but its hand feed like this one. So many applications especially with hand feed it gets to bend and tie ins and it takes like 10 min to jump a bind spot. The auto feed slaps until it hops whatever its hanging up on especially with the chewing bit i call the root bit that looks like the replay vidoe sign with teet. The spade tips i have trouble with especially with hand feed. But i want to know how those chain tips will handle binds and how quickly it will move past them. And like the root comment i imagine roots entangling and you arnt going to be able to retract it. Also what about the unsaid but clearly on all our minds tampons baby wipes pads and the ocasional diaper all tied up in a greese burge wrapped in hair. Does this have thw option to run the standerd assorted heads enstead of chain? And does it have a sping coil to retract it.

That chain will destroy the pipes.Will crack rust metal and clay pipes.

Yes looks good!!! Grease oh yeah!! Roots I can see getting into trouble !!! Ridgid people what's the cost?

I bought the ridgdi k-9 204 to do sewage cleaning work, I thought it would be a good purchase, after using the machine twice, you know, I was disappointed if I could return the machine with certainty, the person who has not yet bought the ridgid k9 204 don't buy

This would be great for commercial kitchen pipes with grease

I dont know about the cordless drill thing guys. If the had an electric motor on a belt triggered by a foot pedal then Yeah Maybe. Don't get me wrong though ,,,I like Ridgid. I think you'll have to tweak this machine a little more guys.

I really wish this product was actually a snake that could go at least maybe 115 feet as per 100’ feet UPC code for sanitary clean outs. Please consider this rigid techs.

It’s not worth the investment- it works good, but it breaks down a lot- it’s not the user we’ve followed the instructions and have had it sent out many times for service

What happens after you knock down all the cast iron scale and there is no direct axis to man hole to pull it out ? After u have piles of scale on the floor of pipe you are now in worse shape then before . Ridgid needs a scale vacume.

For the price there asking is good but not enough cable for me. Don’t wanna spend the money only to be on a job and need more cable

No good shatters the inner wall glue of older pipes

Where do I buy a coupling to repair the cable?

I purchase the 204 lasted me only 8 months and I probably use it 20 times and i use the clutch

I’ve had a chain knocker come off in the pipe and I tighten it before every use and then another chain knocker the weld actually broke on the chain the first time I used it other then that it’s pretty good

I heard it takes time to order an inner drum Six months without a tool that’s not good

Looks nice and all but I'm afraid that it would break some of the fittings on certain things it might be a little aggressive and for the price I don't think so I'll stick to the old school ways

I dated a girl with the same name in high school...you might want to make sure that name is not already patened

Maybe good for sink drains, I prefer just a kinked up 3 foot section of cable for sluge.

**Although modern cordless drills are more powerful than ever, I'm not sure they will have enough power to be used to break up home sewer drain clogs, especially when you consider that a lot of the drill's energy will be absorbed in the process of spinning that long cable inside that long, flexible tube. There's obviously going to be 'some' internal resistance when the cable spins inside its tube, and that's before the cleaning bit even reaches the clog. Then you need more energy to bust through the clog.** I think that a powerful corded drill would probably end up being the best option for powering this particular tool, as opposed to a cordless drill. Besides, when using this thing, you will most likely be inside a home or office, with electrical outlets nearby. Just carry a 25ft & 50ft extension cord with you.

Too short!

Yeah I’m past the age of hand feeding into a shit pipe... next

How would that work on the ridged sump drain hose, mine is clogged about 60 ft off the house.

Где купить и стоимость товара

Ok cool so im not the only one with a twisted mind thinking this was something other than.

I saw in other videos that it’s recommended to run the drill in reverse. Is this not a thing?

Aaannnnddd, like a child. I took this tool name out of context.

I so badly want to buy that for myself

Wat a great tool. Can the flex shaft do ptraps also?

This is bad ass. How much is this like 40000 dollars?

That dam thing could break a fitting in the slab,then what.Yea it would drain.But a nightmare for the home owner when you leave!

How many pipe is that gona break

Nobody cares

Good

Why the always wear glasses..I don't get it

Let's see some cast plz

Love the K9 204. After 3 years need new shaft.

what if the line has wipes in it.

A picote machine? You guys just stole the idea but made it worse lol.

Shut up and take my money

How much $$?

Electric Ell is twice the machine ridged is

This would never work on the main line for tree roots

Ben aflek and jeff foxworthy lol

A thousand dollars. A thousand dollars for something that looks like a garden hose windup thing and can do the same job as putting a pressure washer hose in a clogged up pipe. *But it's made by Ridgid*

Awesome design. I can't wait to get one

Need to have 110 ft not 70 ft will not make it to the city main Help!

Use it in real work....

Good idea bad on old plumbing i ve had multiple types of heads make leaks while snaking a drain good luck doing that on old galvanized copper or cast
