Quick Tip For Clearing Back to Back Sink Drains #diy #plumbing #helpingothers @RIDGID_Tools

What happens here

The video introduces the RIDGID Power Spin+ Drain Cleaner, a versatile tool designed for clearing clogs. This specific model can be operated in two ways: either manually using its integrated handle or by attaching it to a cordless drill for powered operation, as demonstrated with a RYOBI drill. To navigate the bends and corners of the drain pipe more effectively, it's recommended to bend the tip (or 'head') of the auger cable into a slight curve. This curved tip helps guide the cable past turns and into the main drain line, preventing it from getting stuck or simply spinning in place.

Goal: Configure the auger for optimal use.

What they say

Hide

This definitely is a part of the slow drain right here. This is the rigid power spin plus. You can either hook this up onto a drill or you can hook a handle up to this. It comes with a handle. In order to get down inside of that tee, what I like to do is take this cable and just bend that head. Then you're able to just run it along inside there, get it down in your drain. Because that is going right into that drain hole.
