RIDGID 57043 Power Spin with AUTOFEED, Maxcore Drain Cleaner Cable and Bulb Drain Auger to Remove Clogs

Well made and much cheaper than the one it replaces. Could do with a storage bag though

Took a couple of goes but did the job! Hard to know how far down it's gone. Would be amazing if it had some kind of measure on the side to indicate how much cable has been sent out. I entered the pipe from under the sink so I could send it in at a good angle. Pipes under the sink are easy to do/undoe by hand. Worked great with a drill on 1st gear on the drill, as 2nd gear is a bit too wild and was worried about breaking the auger. I really wouldn't want to be winding this in/out by hand....I would say a drill is essential unless you have very strong arms, strong core, and high levels of endurance and patience. With a drill you can keep the augur in a really strong position like holding a gun can handle recoil when firing, with this you can put all your strength forwards to push through any blockages, bends etc. Got this one used for £20 less and works great. Keeping in case of future blockages :-)

Does the job with no fuss - just takes a bit of practice to get it to perform well. Good, robust quality bit of kit - should last well.

Had a badly blocked 40mm kitchen waste. Tried plunging, Repeat doses of 1kg of Sodium hydroxide in 3l of water, pressure washer with drain attachment. Called out a plumber who tried vacuuming out the blockage. All to no avail. Cut out 3m section of pipe behind the kitchen units, but still blocked, as the pipe run was way too long with multiple bends. Couldn’t replace more pipe without structural work, as this was in a loft conversion and the pipe went into the roof space. The pipe then exited out of the building and dropped into a 40mm down pipe that was 4 stories high. Ran this for near enough its full length, back and forth repeatedly, stopping in places to break up any obstacles in the pipe (the blockage was hard calcified lumps of washing powder). Fantastic bit of kit, well worth the money.

Like all these style of things, they don't really work that well but this one is sturdy enough and handy for the odd occasion

I had sitting water in my sink that was not draining. I took out the U bend and inserted the drain snake into my pipes. Upon the first attempt the blockage has not cleared, but on the second attempt it cleared the blockage and the water drains perfectly now! I have used other drain snakes in the past, but this has been the best. Don't give up after your 1st attempt if the blockage has not cleared. Also save your hand and use with a drill.

Drill attachment to drum only held with tiny tac welds and snapped on first use

This worked really well and unblocked the drain within a few minutes. It was simple to clip-off the manual handle and use my electric drill to spin the cable. It felt sturdy and got the job done (I have previously bought a less sturdy similar product that was completely useless and it’s cable just twisted itself into knots and failed to clear anything. This product is excellent and did the job easily and cleanly.

Du moment on a acheté notre appartement, on a eu des problèmes avec evacuer de l'eau dans la cuisine. On a essayé avec des nombreuses bouteilles de débouchant, sans solution, ou seulement pour quelques semaines. Avec ce déboucheur power spin, j'ai vraiment bien débouché le circuit. Tout les 7m50 sont allée dedant, et le bouchon est disparu! La machine est trop lourd pour utiliser seule, à la main. Avec une perceuse a batteries c'est beaucoup plus pratique pour utiliser sans aide d'une autre personne. Ca coute assez de l'argent, mais beaucoup moins de laisser venir un plombier... Maintenant c'est plus de deux mois après acheter ce ridgid, et on n'a plus eu des problèmes!

Finally managed to unclog sink in the kitchen. I tried initially all possible products from local supermarket - helped only for a while, after that used most powerful product to clean pipes HG Duo Power - result total blockage…ordered a cleaning attachment to my pressure washer - unfortunately not able to pass around 7m. Decision was made to go with ridgid power spin drain cleaner rather than cheaper options as the last think I would like to have is a part of steel kable in the pipe. Spring kable is very woof quality. Around 10-15min and sink was unclogged. I really recommend to us a power drill - it makes life easier.

Sempre avuto difficoltà nello sturare i tubi di scarico di casa per via di un impianto fatto malissimo con curve a 90 gradi manco fosse un circuito di formula uno! Ho provato ogni soluzione: cavi in acciaio, sonde ,molle manuali, ma essendo queste curve molto distanti dall'imbocco del tubo non facevano nessuna forza per sturare l'ingorgo. Ho voluto provare questo articolo invogliato dalle altre recensioni e devo dire che è stata la svolta! Niente più mani nell'acqua o tagli sanguinanti per spingere il cavo in profondità. Il cavo cammina in scioltezza, curve a 90 gradi come fosse niente e il fatto che abbia la punta a spirale rotante aiuta a rompere anche quei fastidiosi ammassi di calcare detersivo e varie schifezze che si formano. Tutto ciò ovviamente a patto che venga usato col trapano avvitatore. Manualmente non vi azzardate nemmeno. La manovella è poco più che una appendice ornamentale. Diventa scomodo ed estremamente difficoltoso. Qualità costruttiva: mi sembra decente. Sempre plastica è ma sembra di buona qualità. Si può anche aprire l'alloggio del cavo per pulire e/ o sistemare il cavo stesso. Ingegnoso il sistema per fare avanzare e ritrarre il cavo ( con tre rotelle di metallo che si stringono attorno alla spirale del cavo a mo di apriscatole). Spero vivamente che quello duri, perché la comodità vera sta tutta li. Non giudico il prezzo perche non ho termini di paragone, ma in alcuni casi come il mio il fine giustifica i mezzi e il prezzo. Giudizio complessivo: Approvato e consigliato!
