Every problem is solved sooner or later but it's expensive to call for professional plumbers every time and the service is not always provided at a convenient time for us. Indeed the plumber quite often does not have proper equipment for pipes of small diameter.
RIDGID, a leading manufacturer of innovative tools and equipment for the professional trades, markets its products in more than 140 countries.
RIDGID introduces the new K-45 manual and K-45AF AUTOFEED drain cleaning machines with optimized power up to 600 RPM. The K-45 drain cleaners are designed for 3/4- to 2 1/2-inch drain lines. Cable is offered in three sizes of 1/4, 5/16, 3/8 inches.
The drain machines offer a quick-acting, slide chuck that locks the cable. The inner drum design eliminates cable flip-over within the drum and allows for quick cable change out, and a compression-wound inner core cable combines strength and flexibility to avoid kinking. The units have soft touch grips on their ergonomically designed handles.

"The K-45 family of drain cleaners are the professional's choice for cleaning small secondary drain lines," said Renee Brown, product manager, drain cleaning, RIDGID. "The smooth, soft start AUTOFEED feature on the K-45AF machine allows the user to keep their hands off the cable, avoiding mess, and giving the user total control to completely work through blockages and retrieve obstructions."
The K-45 machine weighs 6 kg and the K-45AF machine weighs 6,5 kg making both easy to carry and store. The K-45 drain cleaners come with the RIDGID lifetime warranty. The K-45 and K-45AF drain cleaning machines are ideal for applications such as sinks, bath tubs and showers.
