The Power-Vee drain cleaner from General Pipe Cleaners has a simplified feeding system that is like having an extra hand in tight and awkward places. Squeeze the lever and the cable feeds at a rate of up to 16 feet per minute. The unit unclogs sinks, tubs, toilets and laundry drains ranging from 1 1/4- to 3-inch diameter and at a distance of up to 50 feet. The automatic feed adjusts to take any cable from 1/4 to 3/8 inch without tools or additional parts. The optional ergonomically balanced Handy-Stand turns the unit into a practical countertop or floor machine. The unit has quick-change cable cartridges and a Dyna-Thrust bearing system to reduce bearing wear and extend tool life. Its Flexicore cables are made of heavy-gauge wire coiled tightly around a 49-strand, aircraft-type wire rope, and they are heat treated. 800-245-6200; www.drainbrain.com.
