Speedrooter 92 Blends Reliability, Ease of Use
General Pipe Cleaners’ redesigned cable-feed drain cleaning tool offers pulling power for long, tough "contractor-size" drain cleaning jobs.
The Speedrooter drives and retracts 3/4-, 5/8- and 1/2-inch cables at a rate of up to 20 feet per minute. The large steel drum holds up to 100 feet of 3/4- or 5/8-inch Flexicore cable for clearing 3- to 10-inch drain lines; the small drum carries up to 100 feet of 9/16-inch (super half-inch) cable for clearing 2- to 4-inch lines. The design features a braced frame at key stress points, a heavy-duty 1/2-horsepower motor with thermal overload protection, an inner drum that surrounds and contains the distributor tube to prevent tangling, while still allowing the operator to see how much cable is left in the drum. The spring distributor tube allows the cable to smoothly feed and retract, even if the frame has been damaged. A grease fitting was added to the hub to make it easier to grease and maintain the machine.
The company says its field-tested design offers easy, one-person handling. The machine’s frame slides smoothly from the loading wheel to the handle, to the stair climbers and finally to the wheels. The adjustable height, swept-back handle also provides maneuvering leverage. A cord wrap on the handle makes it easier to store the power cord and foot pedal. A simple adjustment knob on top of the feed allows users to adjust for different cable sizes without needing to use a screwdriver.
