2 Tools For Easier Pvc And Abs Drain Pipe Installation And Repair

What happens here

The 1.5-inch side of the Gohelper Hub Reamer is attached to a drill. In situations where a pipe cannot be cut flush or access is limited, this tool allows for removing a pipe section from a hub by drilling down and out. The demonstration shows the tool in action, noting that it produces minimal debris inside the pipe, with most of the scrap falling outside the drain line. The remaining small amount of debris from previous saw cuts is then easily removed with a rag.

Goal: Remove a 1.5" pipe section from a hub with minimal debris.
