These kits are used for blockage removal and descaling of small diameter pipes, such as shower and basin drain pipes, or any smaller pipework with multiple bends and junctions.

The tool is lightweight and compact, so it can easily fit into a toolbox, and is set up in seconds, because you only need to attach it to your drill, and you are ready to go.

Most clients report that they use this kit on day-to-day toilet blockages because the shaft is covered with a chemical and heat resistant sleeve which prevents damage to porcelain, so there is no need to remove a toilet pan in order to reach a soft blockage in the toilet waste line in close proximity to the toilet.

The kit includes:

6mm flexible shaft with sleeve friction rings
A drill to shaft adapter to connect the flexible shaft to your power drill
Mini Chain 40-50 mm pipe 6mm (1/4") flex shaft
Lightweight Plain Chain (NO Drill head) 32mm/1.3" for 6mm (1/4") Shaft, ( 1 chain - 3.5mm)
Lightweight Plain Chain (NO Drill head) 50mm/2" for 6mm (1/4") Shaft, (2 chains - 3,5mm)

The 6mm (1/4") shaft included in this kit is our most flexible shaft, and yet it does not compromise on rigidity. We have made certain changes and added friction rings to the flexible shaft's sleeve to protect the ends from being damaged. The friction rings on each end also prevent dirt from building up between the shaft and the sleeve, as this would reduce the efficiency and longevity of the tool.

These tools offer clients with limited access to water the opportunity to clean sewer lines with minimal amount of water. We are hoping to introduce this technology to countries with limited financial and water resources. The environmental aspect could have great implications for these communities. If you know someone who could benefit from this, please share the link, so that we could extend our reach and make a difference.

Few important things to remember:

Please be sure to lubricate your flexible shaft before the first use, and then check the lubrication every few weeks. This not only ensures the longevity of your shaft, but also makes it more efficient over longer distances. Our preference for lubricant is basic machine oil. Here is a video we made on how to lubricate your shaft:    • How to lubricate your flexible shaft ...  

Feel free to choose between a corded or a cordless drill, but make sure not to use the hammer action function on the drill because it can cause damage to your shaft.

With a flexible shaft you will be using less than 3% of the water you would need to get the same result with a hydro jetting machine. Imagine the amount of water you will save by using a flexible shaft.

Important note: We manufacture our own brand of shafts, and by chance our clients started adapting them to their Ridgid K102 or K204 sewer cleaning machines. They also informed us that our flexible shafts are a bit more rigid than the Ridgid flexshafts. We do not claim that we have a replacement shaft for a Ridgid Flexshaft.
