WORKPRO's 20V drain auger is a battery-powered version of the drum snake a plumber brings: 25 feet of steel cable in an enclosed drum, driven by a trigger motor with forward and reverse, so you are not hand-cranking through a clog. It clears tub, shower, and sink lines and handles the hair and soap-scum blockages that a chemical drain cleaner soaks and does not actually move. The enclosed drum keeps the mess contained on the way back out, which is the part people underestimate. Ships with the 2.0Ah battery and charger. Best fit: older houses with slow drains, anyone on a second or third clog in the same tub, and people who would rather own the tool once than pay a call-out fee twice.
Pros
- Motor-driven forward and reverse instead of hand cranking through the clog
- Enclosed drum keeps what comes back up off your bathroom floor
- 25 feet of cable reaches past the trap into the branch line
- Battery and charger are included, so there is no separate platform to buy into
Cons
- At 25 feet it is sized for branch lines, not for a main sewer line clog out to the street
Frequently asked questions
Will this clear a main sewer line?
No. The 25-foot cable is sized for tub, shower, sink, and branch lines. A main line clog needs a longer, heavier machine.
Can it damage PVC pipe?
Used at a steady feed rate it is fine in PVC. Avoid forcing it hard against a fitting and back off if the cable binds.
Does it come with a battery?
Yes, a 2.0Ah battery and charger are included with the auger.
How messy is it to use?
The enclosed drum contains most of what comes back out, but keep a bucket and old towels nearby. Gloves are strongly recommended.
