M12 Trap Snake 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 4 ft. and 6 ft. Auger Drain Cleaning Combo Kit with M12 Multi-Tool

I’ve been a long time Milwaukee fan and this multi tool does not disappoint. I’ve used it for just about cutting anything you could imagine. Makes cutting for electric boxes in shiplap a dream and drywall like cutting hot butter. If needed you can cut a 2x4 no problem. The trick to a quality cut for what your cutting is the blade quality, there expensive but worth every penny. If you buy cheap blades you will not like it. It can be a battery hog so have a few battery’s and a 4 amp hr battery is best for big jobs. It’s a bargain and the possibility’s are endless even cuts pvc and copper. Highly recommended this tool.

Had for a few years but only used a handful of times for small DIY projects. 1 star for ergonomics. Definitely not beat up, even the bag is still clean. The positive side of the plug got stuck in the battery. No idea how this even happens, battery gets pulled straight out. Tool didn’t even pay for itself.

This is the Milwaukee M12 Multi-Tool kit. It comes with two batteries (one 3.0 Ah and one 1.5 Ah), Charger, and Bag. I bought this tool for one specific purpose—to cut out holes in sheetrock for electrical boxes (see Photo 1). It gets really old using a corded tool for this purpose, so I decided to go cordless. This tool is absolutely perfect for this job. It’s light, easy to maneuver, and gets the job done quickly. Highly recommended.

A little heavy compared to others but works great to cut in outlets. Has a variable speed selector.

Overall a must have tool with multiple uses if you buy the proper blades separately. Plunge cuts through drywall, trim baseboard and door jambs with ease. Also great for grout removal and scrapping adhesive.

If you have a stubborn toilet that you are always fighting with, I would recommend this item. If you have to snake toilets often for your job, I would recommend this item. I have the first one, I have a toilet that would clog at the sight of a piece of toilet paper. Now that I have snaked it a few times with this gem, I haven't had near the problems. It was very easy to use, It does require both hands, so I couldn't take a video. The snake action was very smooth, and it was nice to not have to crank on a handle while sending the snake cable in. The tool itself is a little awkward at first, just figuring out the most comfortable way to hold it and attack the toilet that you are after. Once you have that down, Make sure that the lock is off, and go at it. I had the entire length of the cable in doing its job in no time at all. I was very pleased with the quickness and the effort that it took. The end of the snake has a nice rubber protector on it, so as not to scratch the porcelain throne. The motor is powerful enough, I even got it stuck for a moment, but was able to power through what I was stuck on. Not sure how many toilets could be done with one battery, but I am sure it is plenty, as it really did not take me long to clear this toilet in question. This kit comes with the urinal auger as well, it works the same way, it is just shorter, not as stout, and the end is at a different angle. Speaking of angles, this toilet auger had the perfect angle at the end to get right to work. M12 batteries will work on this unit, so I recommend to buy just what you need (tool only) if you already have M12 batteries and chargers.

Finally someone made a cordless auger for toilets. Unclogging a toilet is one of the most difficult jobs because of the trap. Most of the time the you have to remove the toilet to unclog the trap or flange. Most clogs are usually difficult because they are jammed in snug and plunging just sets the clog in tighter. An ordinary power snake is tough to use because most bathrooms are fairly limited in space and the unit is hard to maneuver. Also, the snake can sometimes chip or scar the porcelain. This auger is compact. powerful, and easy to use. This kit comes with a small auger for urinals, battery and charger.

The convenience of M12 rechargeable battery power in a snake is most noticeable in control. It is much easier to control the speed of the revolving snake and the delivery of the cable when compared to the relative clumsiness of the manually turned handle. Brilliant move, Milwaukee! This kit comes with two snakes, one for toilets, sinks, drains and the like and one for urinals. The battery powered handle with hex drive easily couples and uncouples from one snake and is immediately ready for the other one. The handle has forward, reverse and locked positions for the drive and the trigger is graduated to deliver more power and faster cable revolutions the further it is squeezed. Nice and simple to use. The cable is fed into the receptacle manually and the operator can feed in and pull back the cable as necessary to clear any blockage. The built in rubber boot goes a long way to protecting porcelain from getting scratched. The M12 battery will power a whole host of Milwaukee tools so buying into the system makes good sense financially and for tool flexibility. The products are bolstered with a five year warranty on the tools and a two year warranty on the battery. Replacement parts are also available.

I challenged the tool right out of the box to help me remove a stubborn outdoor deck bracket with hopelessly frozen mounting screws. As a long time owner of a contractor grade Fein Multi-master corded tool I was curious if this smaller cordless tool could handle this type of application. I mounted a well used Bosch carbide tip metal cutting blade from my Fein Toolbox and secured it for operation using the Milwaukee supplied adapter to fit most blades available from other similar tools. I was able to cleanly and quickly slice through the metal screws and remove the bracket without needing to drag out an extension cord. While the M12 is not for heavy duty use such as all day cutting jobs or those that require cutting heavy metal, this M12 tool is winner and a real value that belongs in DiYer's and homeowners toolboxes.

This little tool is good for cutting through plywood. It does have trouble getting through 2x4 material and other solid woods. It helped me through this job in my kitchen so I would say it is average for this type of tool.
