Which One+ drain auger/sname would you recommend? For a small house?
I'm paralyzed by the many options.
I currently have the Rigid Power-spin snake. It's great and it's not great. To power it, you attach a drill to the back of the drum and that replaces the hand crank. To feed it forward, you hold a "forward vertical grip and you pull this plastic lever like a trigger. When you do that, the little feeding wheel things make contact with the cable and the angle of the wheel makes the cable slowly inch forward.
Since you are holding this grip with one hand, trying not to get hand cramps while tightly squeezeing the handle/trigger, but also with the other hand holding your drill, it becomes extremely awkward and gives you instant full body arthritis.
Even if I don't use it very often, it works, but it kills me every time. Feeding the cable means either pushing the cable into the drain with your hand, or letting the cable rotate and inch forward. it's so slow with the hand cranking that you eventually reach for the drill.,
It's so unergonomic.
I had considered the Harbor Frieght one, but hey, I have a bunch of one+ batteries.
There are a few choices from Ryobi ... which ones are good, or rather ... which should I stay away from?
It would be to snake drains down to the main line, so the small lithium one with the 4 foot cable would not be helpful, plus for 4 feet, the Rigid manual will do fine.
Thanks, fellow Ryobites!
