- Milwaukee Tools M12 Air Snake - Plumbing Tool That Will Save You TIME & MONEY!
Today we #unbox the Milwaukee Tools M12 Air Snake Kit (2572A-20)
The M12 AIRSNAKE Drain Cleaning Air Gun is the industry’s first drain cleaning machine designed to clear through drain covers and traps with powered air. The M12 AIRSNAKE allows users to clear clogged drains while leaving fixtures and drain covers intact. Designed for 1”-4” drain lines, the M12 AIRSNAKE has the power to clear up to 35 feet, past vent stacks and tees while the variable pressure dial allows for control on delicate pipe systems. Powered air flushes water out of pipes, completely removing grease and sludge from pipe walls. With the ability to work over sinks and eliminate retrieval mess, Drain Professionals, Plumbers, and Facility Maintenance will be able to work faster when clearing clogs. The M12 AIRSNAKE is powered by REDLITHIUM Batteries, which deliver more work per charge and more work over pack life than competitors. REDLINK Intelligence provides optimized performance and overload protection against abusive situations.
Let us know your thoughts and experiences with the M12 Airsnake in the comments section below!

I was taught the four rules of plumbing when I started. Hots on left colds on right, shit goes downhill, paydays on Friday, and don’t chew your fingernails
Thanks Josh!
Milwaukee needs to come out with a FUEL flame thrower
😂🔥🔥
Yes please :D
railmastercnr they do have them for sale not Milwaukee but unbox therapy did a thing on it
They'd need FUEL tanks
Thanks Vince, I was looking at this tool for a while. Your video on it was the clincher. I go to lots of offices and commercial facilities as a handyman. I need to have my truck full of tools, ready for anything. I chose the air snake because if it is really bad, we can call in a real plumber. This thing has worked on nearly every slow drain I have had to clear. Never enough water flushing the soap down with motion controlled faucets. This thing is a time saver. Also the current model 2572B includes the extension and the toilet adapter. There is also 2 slots for extra batteries, one for a 2.0 another for a 4, or 6. Love the channel brother.
I've been looking at this for a little bit now and would really enjoy to see more of it being used in a video.
the one's saying it doesn't work or it splashes in their face is due to operator error. You're setting the psi to high trying to get the job done faster, and either not using the right adapter or setting your position right (trying to rush).
The tools works for me on some clogs. Thats it. Simple.
I've had mine for 4 days and have already cleared 7 jobs with it
I used to work at a supermarket like 20 years ago and this tool is enough to solve most problems. Between the meat area, produce area, and bathrooms, this tool pays itself like 3 times in one visit. If you get the M18 fuel snake auger you might even make them sign an exclusive contract
Love the tool going to grab one up for hv/Ac . And love the cerwin vega’s in the back ground ! Glad I’m not the only one still rocking them
Wow what a handy tool that would be seems like a tool to take with on service calls it has to weigh a lot less than bringing that whole snake up and down stairs and quicker thanks for a great review
I'm a hvac service tech n been using this tool for awhile now to clean out blocked condensate lines. Works great and better then a gallo gun that rockets out at 800psi and can blow apart pvc joints...from experience lol.
I got it just for bar drains. super nice on dipper wells and such small copper lines
the angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the meat, provided that the maxis of the axis, and the gravity of the cavity, remain constant.
😂😂😂😂
OMG!! I'm a nucklehead lol 😍😀 the reason I asked you your name is because I have a Grandson named Vinny !! You would Love this kid. He was partially named after the movie My Cousin Vinny because he was the first child born from our son after our daughter already had 2 kids. I feel like the guy who does the "Now you know the rest of the story" lmbo !! Seriously though he had power of deduction at about age 3. Yes he's my grandson, but I'm telling you if they ever start cloning humans he would be a great candidate to start with. He Loves helping Gramma and Papa. Stay Blessed my Friend, Rodney
This reminds me of the WAM-O Air Blaster from the 1960's. Ok this is not a toy. This is a tool that needs to be respected and used in a safe manner.
Never saw anything like that before! Great tool for slow drains 👍
❤️❤️
Awesome video Vince looks like a great tool thanks for sharing
Thanks Jay we appreciate it!!
When used to unblock kitchen sink drain and kitchen drain has a dishwasher drain connected to it.
Do you disconnect dishwasher drain hose and cap dishwasher drain connection on kitchen drain before using Air Snake?
I use an air cannon at my job that requires you to fill it with air from a compressor. After 1 shot you need to refill it at the compressor. This tool is like a dream come true. Dealing with many drains and bathrooms I will say Air Shots usually get the job done 80% of the time. I'm gonna look into this for our facility. Just gonna have to test a bit at 50psi, our cannon goes up to 125psi but rarely do we go above 70. That added 20 psi is a make or break to see if this can work for us.
This is worth a look then Daniel! Could save you a lot of time on the job!
Thank you for showing me how to use this beautiful laser gun right here I’ll let you know how it does thanks Vince
I have it love it saves me alot of time
I had a coworker use one on a kitchen and the trap blew off the tailpiece. Funniest thing I’ve ever seen because he was hyping this tool up..... picking mine up tomorrow.
Awesome tool Vince
Good Vid mate , was thinking about one 👍🇬🇧👌🇬🇧 Thanks 🙏
Hey Vince @vcg construction, I need more like in my m12 drain snake. 25' isn't long enough; I'm hitting something from my laundry room. is the m18 the only one that extends like that?
traditional snaking: haul in a large snake machine, lay down tarps to catch splatter, exert energy and time manually snaking and retrieving a cable that could possibly bind up.. hurting yourself or damaging client property, cleaning and greasing the snake afterwards..
airsnake: 90% of the time if it’s not root related clears the drain on the first poof. pack up, move to my next call.
I absolutely love this tool i wish i would have bought it sooner!
Great job 👍 Vince and Nick you guys are doing a wonderful job with editing too
Thank you Wealro!!
Milwaukee always be bringing us new tools🤪🤩
Myk here.... I'm jealous, always wanted one ever since they first came out with this tool
I would love to see it in a real world scenario bro. Yeah!
We’ll do it!!
I’ve been looking for a real plumber on a real job using the tool if he likes it he’ll explain why and if it sucks he’ll talk talk shit
Kinda would have liked to see you use this in action. throughout my life, I've had all sorts of Drain Augers/snakes and yet have I felt that I've had the perfect one.
Recently got 1 400.00 but got tool battery 10" extension and the 5 drain attachments 👍
Vince not sure it is for the DIYer being that it is $329 but it looks like a great tool from Milwaukee. I have rental properties and this is probably a much better alternative to start to clear a clog. Then use the snake after that doesn't work.
I just bought one for $190 - it may not be for every job - but as you say, a first line of defense. Always have drain rods, caustic drain cleaner for other issues.
One thing I thought it may be handy, is for storm water or agriculture drains - to blow out any gunk or sediment.
I do like having options so, I did Smash that like button😁
The best tool ever
I just bought their toilet auger and I just discovered this beautiful tool, now I want this because my apartment has shitty plumbing!
Idk, mainly the reason for clogged drains is roots. This won’t do the damage. And plus if it was just paper pulp wouldn’t you just be pushing it further down the line. And it does seem like it could really damage your pipe if you get that dial tone set wrong
Cool tool! Nice review!
Thanks Mike!!
Any chance this would work on pool skimmers?
I am going to have to buy this air snake and put it in my Arsenal thanks for the info Vince another great video I go to Milwaukee guy
How’s it worked for you? I’ve just bought one myself as I found an amazing offer. I kinda thought about it that I may use it once or twice a year (we have 7 bathrooms) - and as a first line of defense when pipes get slow flow
Good vid thanks!!!!!
Thanks buddy we appreciate it!!
havent see the video yet but i can tell you this is a GREAT tool for toilets and sink clogs. all my guys have them on there trucks.
Does it work well for clearing sink drains that are clogged up in the tee and are tied in together same line. would it just go out of the other drain?
@@brandonbearden5975 nope, any it's a great tool to blast out the wax seal and also fracture weak porcelain.
I love it, hey Vince, do you always go by Vince or do the gumbas call ya Vinny? btw what is the price of tool with and without a battery?
I like the fact that they give you a real box to keep the tool in....not some goofy bag..
Thanks!! I’ ll buy one!
My father in-law would do the same thing he was a beast master plumber
Yo Vince, this has nothing to do with the topic but I'm looking for a good sawzall. Although I'm a machine operator/DIY guy, I still buy contractor grade tools. Thanks in advanced!
Also, where can I find your merch? I don't see a link in the description. Thanks
vcgconstruction.com/store thanks!
Oh yeah, we want to see the tolet attachment in action!
Will do Herman!!
What stops pressure from going up vent any one like this tool?
Any kind of air ram is designed to specifically get poo DIRECTLY onto your face!😎
Whats up Vince what was the promo code for acme tools
Look every you video bro! From Russia with love!
Thanks we appreciate it!!
This is just a fancy plunger, if the blockage is before the vent it might work, but any blockage down stream of the vent won’t clear, all of the air will just escape thru the vent... the package says up to 35’ hahah..
It won’t clear a grease blockage, or something stuck in a toilet.
Best thing about this tool is how far it can launch a golf ball.. cable auger will always be better
Definitely would like to see it used in the field. Seems like it be fun to mess with people, walk up behind them and shoot them with air, or a paper ball.
TheSatan222 wet willy launcher?
🤣🤣
@@jameslaub9082 yeah. We like to make blow darts with 1/2 emt. That would up the game
Useless in the field. Had one for a year, zero drains cleared. M18 sef feed auger with drop head = thousands of cleared lines
@@MrDmadness hard to believe cuz it cleared two out of three first time I used it
The head pressure is what unstopped that not the air pressure also most vents are not set up that way
I wonder if this could be used to blow out a lost(mangled or sometimes just hung up) jet line....for electrians. By the way I caught the down hill joke..well played, I see what you did there.👌
That vcg notification squad
I would like to see thorough testing with clear pipes. Feel like it should have more psi and if it was a bit cheaper.....
No, I was in a hurry, didn't read directions, set it to 50 psi and blew up the kitchen sink trap and tee in the wall. Busted the tee. Wasn't a fun night! Lessons learned
Working in the plumbing buisness on both construction and. Residential repair. We dont use the milwaukee one. We have a older. Hand pumped. One. But they are a life saver and. This new ome looks to be easier and faster than the hand pumping one. Wow. Nice
Awesome G Ghost!!
Hey Vince I do drain cleaning for a living and this tool will not do the job. This is a retake on the kinetic water ram. Air will not breakup built up grease. or tree roots in a line. The air in a lot of cases will blow off the trap under the sink and blow most of the air up the fresh air vent. And wait for the water to slash all over the room if that unit does not have a good seal on the toilet. Been there done that.
I can see that happening in some cases. That’s why I agree this is a professional tool and should be used with the judgment of a plumber!! Definitely not gonna clear roots, more drastic measures will need to be taken!!
Robert Vanderhoef I think it’s safe to say they didn’t plan on clearing tree roots with it 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ have some common sense
@@EPSKRCMPK exactly right! Where I see this machine, is for slow clearing drains, as an initial puff - like you would a plunger. 80% of the times, plunging clears the issue.
I’ve just bought one, it’s for DIY use, may use it once a year. Came with the full accessories kit, a battery and charger for $175. At that price I grabbed it.
“Pun intended” classic.
Why would they not include the toilet attachment? And why would the toilet attachment not have a part number so that you can order one if you bought this kit?
Afternoon Vince, I do not know anything about the air snake or anyone using it. My question would be. How would old cast iron pipe react to the blast of air. Schedule 40 ABS and copper I think it would work fine. But old cast iron ? Just a thought sir. Thank you for your time.
Good question, but i may prefer the burst of air rather than running a cable through that cast iron pipe!!
@@VCGConstruction True,. On my way in to the shop I was thinking. With the blast if air, how does it effect PVC presser fittings ?
@@stephenleepmg113 if it's a solid blockage you blow the slip joint adapter right off. This tool is only meant for soft blockages.
@@jagpalsukhraj I second that. First hand knowledge
Breaks old cast really easy, also blows mj joints apart, really good for fracturing cell core abs, plumber for over 20 years here, this tool is best used for shooting golf balls. Is a total waste of money imo
i should BUY one
Definitely replace the old plunger!!
i bought one yesterday 2021 December, i didnt know you can rent from home depot and should of did that first. It will splash air water and all your filthy water will be over the bathroom wall. air will splash water all over your face. had to wipe feces off my face. do i recommend it? Not for home use.
Did you see the Home Depot today you can get one 6o and one 12o with rapid charger for $229
Whoa sweet
400$ in Canada 😅
I NEED THIS!!! buts it’s so damn expensive 😭 this will never replace the auger though there’s a time and a place for both.
Agreed
Id like to see a video on this topic! When is the right time and situation for the air snake vs a traditional Auger.
Aj Atkins he covers that at 15:45
I used mine to clear a main line yesterday lol service call lasted 15 min.
I’ve called in guys to auger, and I’ve called in guys and all they did was bring in a large plunger … 80% of jobs can be resolved with a plunger. I bought this tool, to use before it’s a huge issue.
It’s an arrow in my quiver: I have a high pressure Karcher drain hose, old
School drain rods, caustic cleaner (bang out), and the air snake. In time maybe will look at their auger system.
South Philadelphia?? West Philadelphia was where I was born and raise, out on the playground is where I spent most of my days, chillin' out maxin', relaxin' all cool. Shootin' some B-ball out side the school, when a couple of guys who were up to no good, started makin' trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said, "You're moving with your Auntie and Uncle to Bel Air
🤣🤣
🤣🤣
Turns a shitty day into a one and done
How parches & amount
If this was 100 to 150 it would sell you can buy a plastic pump true for 40 at Lowe’s not as good but will work
Just for one for 180 on eBay. I agree, to expensive at the 350 mrsp price
Drain destroyer
Might have to get that to clear the hair clogs from the wife's hair LOL
🤣🤣 me too!!
this is a battery powered water ram...they have been out for years.. gotta be careful with these on older drain lines...only need 10-20 psi max..
What do you guys think of the M12 circular saw? Is it any good or just a toy?
Honestly I haven’t used it. I would only consider it for fast cutting trim, I don’t think is a toy though, it’s just a tool with specific purpose.
@@VCGConstruction Perhaps a future video???
Possibly!!
I've used cordless skill saws before and they all suck for real cuts. If you just need a quick 1 or 2 cut but I work with extruded aluminum.
Have it and it is a beast. Use with 6.0 battery. Rarely use my m18 now
Got luck all of these years cleaning drains. Never got super sick. Thank god.
Not gonna clears 35 feet, your vent will be way closer that's where you lose the pressure, drainage also rated to 5 psi max
Lets see it.
Will do Robert!!
Can’t wait to see the blooper videos of people blowing shit and tampons out of another drain behind the clog 😂
I'm going hang that up next to the thone.
Sorry throne
🤣🤣🤣
Throw the manual away Vince lol
Shouldn’t it be m18 for more power vince
Nah probably not necessary Oscar, I just needs to pump up the air bladder, and the tool does that pretty quickly!!
Did you ever travel west and hang out with the fresh prince? 😉
Will smith and Jeff used to live in waterfront condos that I used to do work in as a kid!! Last I heard Jeff still owned his unit and lived there, but that was many moons ago!!
Talk about a small world
Milwaukee nothing but heavy duty
I've never heard of an "air snake." This isn't as mythical as a wood stretcher is it?
🤣🤣 nah this is for real fatbuddycat!!
Another compact m12 design 😂
haha, i could see a lot of blown up pvc
too bad the minimum pipe size is 1 inch...i could use this tool if it went down to 3/4 inch...i unclog alot of drain pipes for commercial ice machines with nitrogen...most of the drain lines are 3/4 inch and some are 1/2 inch...c'mon milwaukee...make a 3/4 inch adapter 😁
How many psi is the shot of nitrogen?
@@VCGConstruction i usually set it on 75 psi but in most cases it dont need that much
I do commercial service and repair. I recommend you getting a General water ram comes with a standard 1/2 mip tip that you could adapt anything that is 1/2 fip that will hose down to you custom size.
Wouldn’t take much to reduce it down
50 psi = 3 bar... hhmmm... lots of cheap pipe parts out there... maybe push part apart... 😳
Wana hear a secret
111
Wont work on anything with a vent....
First! LOL
I tried it at 2 jobs now and this is more just a fancy p trap cleaner nothing more!!! waste of money.
The pipe poo shooter . The only tool you need to push poo up pipes! gay men watch out!
Worst review I have ever seen.
