Introducing the Ultimate Solution for Professional Plumbers
In the world of professional plumbing, efficiency and effectiveness go hand in hand. That's why we're excited to spotlight the RIDGID® K-46 Cordless SinkSnake™ – a game-changing tool designed to tackle tough blockages with unprecedented freedom and versatility.
Cordless Power That Doesn't Compromise
Say goodbye to hunting for outlets in tight spaces. Powered by the robust RIDGID 18V Advanced Lithium Battery Platform, the K-46 delivers professional-grade performance without the limitations of a cord. This brushless DC motor powerhouse efficiently clears stubborn blockages in 3/4" to 3" (20-76 mm) lines, making quick work of clogged sinks, tubs, showers, and urinals.
Engineered for Real-World Comfort
Anyone who's spent time hunched under a sink knows that ergonomics aren't just a luxury – they're essential. The K-46 features an integrated, multi-position kickstand that provides crucial support in cramped working environments. This thoughtful design element significantly reduces strain during those awkward under-sink operations or when working in bathtubs.
Versatility That Adapts to Every Challenge
While the K-46 comes equipped with a 5/16" x 25' (8mm x 7.6m) Inner Core Cable, its versatility shines through its compatibility with multiple cable options:
- 1/4" (6mm) cable for lines 3/4" to 2" (20mm to 50mm)
- 5/16" (8mm) cable for lines 1-1/4" to 2-1/2" (32mm to 64mm)
- 3/8" (10mm) cable for lines 1-1/4" to 3" (32mm to 76mm)
The drum accommodates up to 50 feet of cable (depending on diameter), allowing professionals to tackle a wide range of drain cleaning scenarios with a single tool. Additionally, compatibility with various cable tools – including dropheads, spades, and c-cutter augers – ensures you have the right attachment for any blockage.
Advanced Features for Professional Performance
The K-46 doesn't just bring cordless convenience – it's packed with features that enhance efficiency and effectiveness:
- 360° Rotatable AUTOFEED®: Advances and retrieves cable in both forward and reverse directions, making navigation through tight bends and p-traps dramatically easier
- Enclosed Rotating Drum: Protects valuable plumbing fixtures from accidental damage during operation
- Cable Lock: Improves handling when manually working through stubborn blockages
