Rated 5 out of 5 by from The K50 is so easy to use I work for a Collage and we have about 12 of these in the different areas of department. We have had great luck with them, and there is a good variety of different tools to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very reliable machine I’ve been a plumber for 40 years and had just bought a new machine but my old one still has a lot of life in it.AsI said it’s a very durable and reliable machine.
Date published: 2018-08-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Compact; well designed and featured. Compact and easy to carry; will fit in almost any space. Going up ladders with it is easy. Sturdily designed and built. Plumbing is hard enough without having to fight one's equipment. As plumbers get older, as we all will unless electrocuted or precipitated from high roofs, we look to gear that recognizes that ease of use and carry are important, too. Superman; Superdog; and now SuperSnake. Compact and capable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Product review We like ridged product but the fact that we are a small business with not a lot of extra cash flow and We are buying another ridged product it would be great if we had access to rebates or discount to help off set the cost
Date published: 2016-04-23
Rated 4 out of 5 by from The best in its class of all brands parts seem to wear out too soon and local plumbing supply houses do not support parts- Ridgid needs some kind of consignment parts arrangement with distributors so they can have parts on hand when something wears out- down time is a revenue destroyer and waiting days for parts is a hardship

Is higher RPM better?

What is good on higher RPM drain cleaner? A Drum type looks good but K50 has higher RPM. Which is more effective to clean a pipe?
Asked by: Patric
Thanks for contacting RIDGID. I would suggest calling our technical services department to discuss this with one of our agents. The drum and sectional machines are chosen by preference and what the user is used to using in the past. People usually prefer either sectional machines or drum machines, depending on what they are used to using in the past and what they were initially trained to use. Our technical services department's phone number is 800-519-3456 so you can call and possibly discuss what would work better for your application specifically. Thank you for your patronage and for choosing RIDGID.

Tree roots

Can anyone tell me if this will handle tree roots. I understand it's not "made" for root blockages. But in the city, 100 plus year old houses. Basement accessibility can w very limited. I have been using a k-400 for such circumstances (which I also know is not a root machine, but with decades of experience, simply knowing your machine and the feel when a blockage is hit makes a huge difference...... low and slow)
