RIDGE TOOL
The Ridgid/Kollmann K-380 cleans indoor drain lines 1.5 to 4 inches wide, according to Ridge Tool. The torque limit feature helps prevent cable flip-over by causing the drum to stop spinning when the cable begins to twist. Powered by a one-third-horsepower motor that spins the cable at 190 rpm, the unit is available with drum capacities of 100 feet of three-eighths-inch or 75 feet of half-inch continuous integral-wound solid-core cable. An optional auto-feed mechanism allows hands-free operation. www.ridgid.com
