Ultimate DIY Drain Snake | RIDGID Power Spin Drain Cleaner with AUTOFEED 

Good tips, 2 questiosn for you, how do you flush if your drain is fully clogged, also how do you know you're close to 500rpm, not sure how fast that is.

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

how do you know when you're at the max length 25ft. there's no window to see how much you left out.

Great advice for any mechanical procedures. As an ASE Master Tech since 78, I would my wife, sons, neighbors and son in law that if you had to force any rotating mass, drill bit, sink auger auger coil that it going to break, snap off or damage the part or fitting and/or driver! Now what? Ever had an easy-out, drill bit or tap break while cutting threads? If the end of a drain auger breaks off with 15" - 15'of wire-wound coil in the wall, you can't weld a nut onto the end of it and unscrew it! That happened to me in the kitchen with a double sink, window over the top on an outside wall. Every 1 1-2" fitting was black ABS and a hard Tee to drain & vent, hard 90 to drain, hard degree elbow that turned to go 42' to main drain, with sweeping street fitting to the ABS drain about one foot into clean out (Pointing pointing to main drain, over water heater) the wrong way on the back wall. 14" adjustable pipe wrench would not turn as 1980 house. Tore out drywall and installed new correct fittings and added drain an told wife again for the 390th time not to rinse the wet mop in the sink at all. First shake out in trash can, then if needed, plug garbage disposal with standard good-fitting rubber plug, this will catch hair, stones, toy parts, the list goes on. Remove all junk by hand as finger nails help but tweeters work great. Pro-drain CO, charge extra on weekends even plus repairs. Best of luck and go with patience! Retired ASE master.

No joke! here checking DIY videos on yourtube because of a major clog the day before thanksgiving and no openings until Monday

@@reecesatran9623 where's the clog?

@@futfut1 in the tub

Awesome!!

Good to know!

No, it will work with any brand of drill. As long as it is relatively strong.

Extend the cable and hose it down with the garden hose Sprayer nozzle or gun set to jet. As you return the cable back in the (DRUM) case, Dry it up. It won't absolutley get all the dirt but will minimize any built up. (To minimize gunk built up in the (DRUM) casing, when extracting the cable at slow speed or manually hold a rag on the cable and wipe off excess debris.)

Thanks ✌

I just cleared a 4 inch line with this. Right thru the trap, using a drill attached. This auger is worth it's weight in gold.

Should be able to get that info on online.

As mentioned multiple times in the video as well as clearly shown in the video and being included in the title of the video, Rigid. 🤦

Never buy cheap tools get something that will last your lifetime... it's always worth the extra... I have tools that my father had when I was a kid and tools that my grandfather had when my dad was a kid.... dad always said get the best you can afford and take care if it....I do .. best advice ever.... only buy cheap if you intend to beat it up... I even have high quality tools I bought and bent intentionally for one specific use.... I have wrenches that I bought and bent specifically to reach a nut in a hard place have 2 that are bent opposite directions so I could turn one ab little then get the other on turn a little and continue... this was for a bell housing on a transmission no other tool would reach... took everyone to remove that one bolt but was the only way other than cutting the floorpan and doing it from inside the car... I have open end wrenches I ground the head diam to gain clearances... I will go buy a new tool for these specialty jobs to modify rather than break up a matched st... the guy at the tool store gave good advice buy a tool and make it work then paint it special color and throw into special tools box

I did but that wasn't the point of the video.

@@MillennialReview I can't speak for this drainage cleaning attempt but my my drain from the the kitchen (-Minus the wall) was 40 feet 1 1/5" long ABS with stupid molded ABS hangers that broke. With the ceiling finished, I had to reach both directions to install new plumbers tape and bocks of wood inside the chase using a torpedo level. That was me, all I can tell you is to check "Vivo" brand and never run backwards, only pull going forwards. You'll twist the line. Spring steel looses its temper when heated. Be careful.

@@MillennialReview No; that was the point of the video!

​@@MillennialReviewwell of course we're going to want to know
