General Wire

For kitchen, bathroom, laundry drains, and lines up through 3" in diameter. Has a patented Slide-Action Chuck built right into the grip shield. Just slide it backward to grip cable; forward to release it. Automatically adjusts for different size cables. You get your cable into the line faster, pull it out faster, and have full control at all times. To switch to a different diameter cable, loosen three screws, pull front of drum off cable, and load in another cartridge. Takes less than a minute and turns what could be a messy job into a clean one. Motor is double insulated, with reverse and variable speed switch. Power feed version feeds and retracts cable by squeezing a lever on the grip shield.

The Power-Vee
Easier to use than ever before.

When a drain cleaning job puts you in a tight spot or an awkward position, General's automatic feed Power-Vee works like a third hand. Just squeeze the lever, and the cable spins itself into the drain at up to 16 ft. per minute. It retracts automatically too.

The power-Vee easily unclogs sink, shower, and laundry drains up to 3" in diameter and can adjust in seconds to take any diameter cable from 1/4" to 3/8" without disassembly or tools. It also features quick-change cable cartridges for fast cable changing or cleaning.

With 75 feet of 3/8" cable and a 1/3 hp motor, the inexpensive Mini-Rooter clears lines from roof top to basement. You can do heavier work in 4" lines when machine is equipped with 1/2" cable. You can remove the drum in seconds for more portability or to switch to a different diameter cable with no mess and no lost time. A distributor tube inside the drum allows you to feed cable in and out without chucking and releasing the cable every few feet . . . so you finish quicker. Optional automatic feed gives better feeding and retracting control. Quickly adjusts for 1/2" or 3/8" cables. For small drain work, you can order a special "J-Drum" or Dual Drum for handling 1/4" or 5/16" x 50 foot cables.

The Mini-Rooter XP
Extra Portability, Extra Performance.

Clear clogged drains from rooftop to basement, including kitchen sinks, bath, and laundry tubs. The Mini-Rooter XP can roll to and from the job with 8" wheels. And the handle folds down to save space and locks for use as a lifting handle. The drum can hold 75 ft. of 1/2" cable and has an inner drum to help prevent cable tangling.

A power feed enables the operator to control feeding or retracting speed without reversing the motor. It can quickly adjust to take 3/8" or 1/2" cables without requiring tools or additional parts. And the power feed can swing out of the way to make drum changing as easy as ever.

Big eight inch wheels and a tall handle make this an easy machine to move around. The drum holds 100 feet of 1/2" Flexicore cable that is tough enough to clear stoppages even in four inch drain lines. A Power Feed attachment gives you an easy way to feed cables, driving them into the line and retracting them without reversing the motor rotation. The T-3 has a capacitor start 1/3 hp motor with overload protection. Other features include a folding handle, a quickly and easily removable drum, and an optional Slide-On Snakentainer for 1/4" and 5/16" cables.

This machine uses two different size drums, one with 1/2" cable and one with 3/4" cable, enabling it to handle two through ten inch lines. Capacity of large drum is 100 ft. of 3/4" cable. The Speedrooter 90 has a see-through inner drum cage that prevents cable tangling, a ground fault circuit interrupter and air-actuated foot pedal. The Power Feed takes most of the muscle work out of drain cleaning because it has the pulling power to get your cables out of the line, even on long, tough runs. Other features: V-belt stair climbers, 10" ball bearing wheels, a truck loading wheel, and a tool box.

The Root 66 is ready for all your inside and rooftop jobs. Slip on a small drum for sink drain work; use 5/8" sectional cables for lines up through 3"; or use 7/8" cables for 4" lines--and you do all this switching without adapters or tools. The Root 66 spins the cable at 400 rpm. To operate, just feed a cable into the line, turn on the motor, and press down on the handle. The cable stops rotating as soon as you lift the handle, so there's no additional torque buildup. A heavy-duty sealed 1/3 hp motor is standard. An optional dolly is available for easy transport over long distances.

The Model 82 is almost as easy to run as a lawn mower. You push eight or ten foot cable sections into the line until you reach some resistance. Then attach the cable to the machine, stand behind it, and turn it on. Watch the cable feed itself into the line. When a section has run into the drain, attach another one and keep going. This self-feeding feature also works to pull sections out of the line. Cables snap together in a second and are taken apart quickly. The Model 82 handles jobs up to 200 feet long in 3" to 10" lines. An adjustable safety clutch protects cables and operator.

The Kinetic Water Ram uses a burst of compressed air to create a shock wave (kinetic energy) that travels through water to break up a stoppage. It quickly opens clogged sinks, toilets and tubs; handles rust, grease, and scale in lines up through 4" in diameter. The Ram has a self contained pump and pressure gauge, so you can hit the blockage with just the right amount of force. You get instant impact with no pressure build-up. The shock wave travels so fast it bypasses vents and stacks, hitting the stoppage with 98% of its force. The Ram is particularly useful when the problem is on the far side of a drum trap.

Made of two layers of tempered spring steel and coiled over 47 strand wire rope, the Flexicore®closet auger has tremendous resistance to kinking. And at the same time, it's so flexible, it's guaranteed to go through any bowl or your money back. The flexible Down Head follows the bowl contours and springs through sharply angled passages.

The six foot Teletube^TM makes conventional six foot augers obsolete, because it has three feet telescoped into a guide tube until you need it. After you've worked the first three feet into the bowl, you can go three feet farther simply by pressing a button and pulling the crank handle.
