General Pipe Cleaners’ Model 88™ sectional drain cleaner makes drain cleaning easier. You walk while it works. Just connect one end of the cable to the front of the machine and the put the other end into the drain, then stand behind the Model 88 and turn it on. The cable corkscrews itself into the line.
The Model 88 features a powerful 3/4 hp motor as standard equipment. The heavy duty motor drives a 3.5 to 1 ratio gear head to give the machine plenty of power to handle the most difficult jobs. The machine also has a longer frame to protect the drive coupling, and a larger front caster wheel.
The Model 88 spins eight or ten foot quick-coupling cable sections at distances of 200 feet or more. The cables self-feed, while the operator stands safely behind the machine as the cables screw into the line.
For extra strength, General offers either chain or spring center cables. The chain combines strength and flexibility, while the inner spring can handle greater torque on long difficult jobs. Extra space sections are also available. General’s patented no-wrench cable drive coupler enables operator to attach cables faster.
Standard equipment includes a safety clutch, air-actuated power switch, ground fault circuit interrupter, folding handle, 10″ wheels, cable feeding tool, and more.

Tight spaces are no match for the new RIDGID® RP 241. The next generation inline pressing tool is 25 percent smaller and 10 percent lighter than its predecessor, making it an ideal solution for pressing copper, stainless steel, black steel and PEX in hard to reach areas. Its lightweight, compact design also helps minimize fatigue and maximize productivity.
The RP 241 comes standard with a 12V battery that provides over 140 crimps per charge – more crimps than contractors need per day. It weighs 7.4 pounds, with battery and jaws, and at 15.8 inches is 12 percent shorter in length than the prior model. The tool easily connects to RIDGID Link, providing users data on crimps, service history and more.
Other innovative features of the RP 241 are 180-degree rotation—allowing contractors access difficult to reach areas; and a bolt sensor to prevent tool use without proper form, helping to ensure a quality press. In addition, it is compatible with all prior RIDGID compact series jaws and attachments.
“In designing the new RP 241 we built on the strengths of our earlier model and incorporated new features that we know contractors want to take it to the next level,” said Marcus Borman, RIDGID Global Marketing Manager. “From access, to the new RIDGID Link app, to its lighter more compact design, every feature has been engineered with the contractor in mind.”
The RP 241 comes backed by the RIDGID lifetime warranty.

Milwaukee Tool announces the next big breakthrough for drain cleaning professionals. The M18 FUEL™ SWITCH PACK™ Sectional Drum System is the first drain cleaning solution that combines the benefits of sectional and drum machines to create the single most versatile and mobile machine on the market. This new-to-world solution is easily transportable via an integrated backpack design, allows users to interchange and connect drums, and provides maximum power to clear 100’ down the line.
The modular design of the M18 FUEL™ SWITCH PACK™ utilizes backpack straps for the easiest transport to any roof, drain, crawl space, or cleanout. The tool-free drum connection allows users to quickly interchange between cable sizes, or add a second drum to reach a length of 100’. SWITCH PACK™ drums are fully enclosed to provide the best protection and containment of the mess.
The System combines three exclusive innovations—the POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, REDLITHIUM™ battery pack, and REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence. The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor delivers up to 2X more clearing power than corded competitors for tough jobs through 4” drain lines.**
REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence improves control with an integrated drum brake, slowing the machine up to 5X faster than other drums on the market. A large, non-slip foot pedal ensures the user will maintain control even on wet surfaces, and it can be easily activated with a knee or foot.
The REDLITHIUM™ battery pack powers through multiple jobs on a single charge, delivering cordless power, mobility, and safety to the drain cleaning industry.
The new M18 FUEL™ SWITCH PACK™ Sectional Drain System is fully compatible with the entire M18™ line, now offering more than 150 power tool products.
