Although this drain cleaner is not capable of removing root blockage, its maneuverability cleans out drain blockages. It is easy to transport as it is built in a cart style, and is equipped with a cable control system that stops the drum from spinning when the blade is caught in a blockade or clutter to prevent the drain snake cable from getting damaged or broken. Two other drain cleaners from this manufacturer are the Rigid 34963 K-30 Sink drain cleaner, and the Rigid 58920 K-50 Sectional drain cleaners. - Cobra GIDDS – 211332 – Drain cleaning machine
