Just a heads up.. running that cable up against the flange on that pipe when you seperate the trap will wear into the plastic and cut a groove into it.. good luck getting that trap to seal up after you do that. I usually have a piece of 1 Inch pex tubing about 6 inches long that i can feed the head of the cable through to protect the trap flange in a situation like this
I have used it twice - renting it from Home Depot both times and it has cleared the drain in a blink both times at an extremely small fraction of what a plumber would have charged
I have rentals and tried this tool yesterday, I have back to back sinks with old galvanized drains pipes Just could not get past the T in the wall, used my hand held manual with a drop head snake and was able to break through. I read the instructions and I see you can replace the cable with a 3/8 cable that one I have does have a drop head on it. Question why would the one bulb head not work do I always need to use a drop head with back to back sinks? Also I could not tell if the cable was going in, are there markers that can be added to see if the cable is advancing?
Yes my friend. Always use a drop head/kink at the end of the cable. If you try to use it without it you will never pass the ‘santee’ that transitions your horizontal drain line to a vertical. In your position you will just go through the other drain at your ‘cross tee’ therefore the drop head or kink, will help the cable go downward instead of up or across.
Can you order a bucket if you bought the tool-only product? I recently got the tool, but I've got plenty of batteries and chargers so didn't buy the kit...
It seems like it runs on for too long after you retract the cable. What if you’re running straight cable with no head? Will it get pulled all the way back into the drum? If so how hard is it to get it back out?
Hahaha! Well eventually you would find that out because you still gotta open that whole thingy up and clean the crap out of it. I personally am now ready to change a Baby Diaper.
Hi! Yes, but please read my earlier comments so you can make a better informed decision than the unorthodox one I made. Wait wait. If you have a Wife or a willing friend, you'll be just fine grabbing just a long coiled "Snake."
Only problem i have with the snakes is the reverse... u never want to put it in reverse when u may have something on the end of the bulb head itll just come off and clog the line again....
Looking at the sink , the art on the wall not to mentioned a few other signals I would bet $1000 this house they shot this video in is located in the Southern region of the 🇺🇸.
Help! I can not figure out how to change the cable, ours snapped and there is no place to hook it and only fictions with the new cable about 15’ and won’t go in or back out without manually doing it. Zero instruction anywhere
have you ever seen a drain snake that wasn't rusty after a year? I wonder how the tool would work with a rusty or dirty snake. Look like it works ok now, but let's see how it works after a couple months of real world clogs.
Hahaha! Well I have good news! I'm here because I recently purchased only the long 5/16 metal coiled "SNAKE" thinking I could easily connect it to my Milwaukee M18 Cordless Drill. Theoretically, everything worked fine but I sure did look "stupid", I mean _out of place_ standing halfway across my apartment room away from the kitchen sink turning & rotating shlit. _If I only had a _*_Trophy_*_ _*_Wife_*_ ._ Wait wait, I'm sorry, back to you. The small print on my Wilwauke SNAKE Package claims it uses *RUST* *GUARD* *Plating!!* Yippie Yippey Yeh!! Now I wanna know how to keep it clean. After my last (and hopefully still last) Kitchen Sink Clog Drain operation, I dropped that dirty (smelly) snake in a big plastic 99cent store bucket of vinegar, dishwashing liquid, ajax, i.e. whatever and went back to watching RUclips for a few more hours. Came back, with some rubber gloves on, and easily wiped off crud then hung my SNAKE back up in the Utility Closet. *GOOD* *LUCK* to you My Man!
Okay first off you don't run the line without taking the Trap off all the way into what's up with this coil cable you guys need to put blades on your machines and then they would be perfect
Plumber do not buy this tool!! Consumer once in awhile use then buy it, things i hate about this, that black round twist to tighten and loosen cable, no good! No power, once u use it and put back in case next time u use it there mold on it, cut a hole in box, gota use 3/8 cable to use your drop head or spade, cable get stuck in hard clog might as well stop and pull your cable back, it won’t come back, cuz no power, drum has nothing to hold cable , cable is literally thrown inside, its a waste of money, basically paid $700 for a 5.0 battery, this tool only good for 1.5in and 2in pipe, 3in that’s a laugh, glad i got my spartan 100 and 300, never let me down yet
The tool is cool and all but how does one get one of those sweet sweaters ?
She's the cleanest plumber i have ever seen
Lol
I was unclogging a drain today and by the time I was done, lets just say it looked like I had a major accident in the bath room. LOL

The man knows what he's talking about 🤙
Wow, great tip my friend. Thank you!
She must be a first timer
Ty.
I mean clean out ideal, if not remove it completely free up the workspace always makes it easier.
The song "You can do magic" came to mind when I used it today. This is an awesome piece of equipment.
Ohh so that's how you use it properly, I was messing up big time. Thanks for the clarification.

Amazing that doing something yourself would be less expensive than paying a professional... 😮

Use a plumber before you snap your cables
Yes my friend. Always use a drop head/kink at the end of the cable.
If you try to use it without it you will never pass the ‘santee’ that transitions your horizontal drain line to a vertical.
In your position you will just go through the other drain at your ‘cross tee’ therefore the drop head or kink, will help the cable go downward instead of up or across.
This machine sync the drum rotating direction to the extend and retract direction? I see other drain cleaners usually separate them.
Can you order a bucket if you bought the tool-only product? I recently got the tool, but I've got plenty of batteries and chargers so didn't buy the kit...

how do you take the cable out to clean it? I can imagine the smell coming from it after a few uses.
Might get one for my apartment never know when you'll need one!
Hi there. I already have battery of drill impact cordless Milwaukee so can it be used on this product? Thanks
Hi! Yes, but please read my earlier comments so you can make a better informed decision than the unorthodox one I made. Wait wait. If you have a Wife or a willing friend, you'll be just fine grabbing just a long coiled "Snake."

Hahaha. Kung Fu *ZEN* -- _"Then what is the point of going in?_
You can unlock it, pull and manually feed the snake back in without pressing the trigger, that will drag back whatever is caught
@@newtonraymond77 yeah that's what I do with it.
Looking at the sink , the art on the wall not to mentioned a few other signals I would bet $1000 this house they shot this video in is located in the Southern region of the 🇺🇸.
It’s actually in a house in Newark, New Jersey 😁😁
Great video
Like honestly these are some awesome ideas but is Impractical for an actual everyday drain cleaner
Why?
You want to have both hands on the cable if your trying to fish a tee or get though bad spots in the drain this is olny really good for straight tees

Hi Steve, please send us a message to social.media@milwaukeetool.com, if you need assistance!
It is some difficult at lock an unlock position.

It's to bad that the feed system doesn't work
Okay first off you don't run the line without taking the Trap off all the way into what's up with this coil cable you guys need to put blades on your machines and then they would be perfect
Always removed the arm of the trap before you snake!
