Q&A

K-45 Sink Machine is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 58.

Rated 5 out of 5 by EdMejia from Great Tool We run this tool at our facility every few weeks, it always gets the job done. love that the replaceable line since we can replace just line when they eventually get bound up and bent. our staff is extremely hard on our equipment and this tool can handle the borderline abuse we throw at it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DKGE from Good tool Tool seems to be good. We have only used it once so far. The carrying case seems to be a little cheaply made. Over all good so far

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sull from Easy to use I did a lot research and read the reviews I finally decided to buy it. It is worth every penny

Rated 5 out of 5 by Treetops from Feels like a solid tool I’ve used th k-45 once, to clean out my bathroom sink drain line. It did a good job of opening up the line, in a short amount of time. It can be a little unorthodox, using the cleaner, because of its weight.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Robelander from Great piece of equipment. Much better than the hand crank snake. The auto feed works great! Would highly recommend to others in the industry. Very easy to use especially with auto feed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rhino55 from Works great! Work great on the smaller sinks etc. Just need to be patient and not try to go too far too fast. Great quality and simple to use. I would recommend this product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Disston from Simply the best!. I have for the past 33 years been head of Maintenance at a large touring Theatrical venue and I can quite honestly say that this is the best piece of kit that I have ever used. I bought the version with two drums for different size snakes. I can rod through solidly blocked urinal pipes (a pretty disgusting job) and stay perfectly clean. The self driving facility is superb. I have found all Ridgid tools to be first class.

Rated 5 out of 5 by winoc from easy and quick After years of hard labour with unblock liquids and unblock springs, I found a last the best tool to unblock in a very fast way my sink: the K-45 of Ridgid. Not a toy, but a real professional tool made for years...
