            Will it go thru a trap
            ByJul 17, 2026
            2 Answers | 
            Answer This Question

            Hello, Robert. In most cases, it's best to remove the trap prior to inserting the cable. If the trap isn't accessible or if a clean-out isn't present, it may be possible to route the cable through the cross-hairs in the strainer. This cable will typically navigate though the traps connected to bathtub overflows.

            By|Jul 17, 2026

              yes, it will go through P trap

                    Retrieving Problem
                    This Product appears to be a Good Drain Cleaning Machine .I used it once after I purchased it.Retrieving the Cable from the Toilet and Bathtub was effortless with slight bungling of the Cable in the Drum but while retrieving the Cable from the Bathroom Vanity Sink Drain without even the Vanity Sink Installed the Cable Twisted Up on the entrance of the Drain and Really bungled up in the Drum.My son and I Lifted the Entire Machine and began turning the entire machine in the opposite direction of the Twisted Cable to unravel the Cable but without success so I had to Cut the Cable even after following the Instructions pertaining to a Stuck Cable,etc. Probably,because the Drum does Not have a Cable Guide or the Cable being New did not Conform to the Drum as yet.

                      Perfect Purchase
                      Bought this last weekend to clear a kitchen sink drain that clogged well beyond the trap. Pulled the trap and snaked from there and it worked perfectly. Directions were simple to follow and the auger worked perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

                        Great little machine for bathroom tubs & sinks!
                        You can't go wrong for the price of this little guy. Especially great for 1 1/4" lines making those tight turns. You do have to be careful when encountering the blockage as to not force the cable as it will flip in the drum. Slow and easy, do not torque up keep the cable spinning. Has a nice drain hole on the bottom and does not rooster tail water after multiple uses.

                          I plumbed for 25 years and when we cleaned drains we always used rigid snakes. This is the best snake on the market for the homeowner. This is the same snake every professional plumber uses daily. Any homeowner won’t regret this purchase.

                          Best power tool investment of my life
                          I bought this many years ago when it was $179. It's probably paid for itself 10x over, as $180 is what I'd have to pay someone to snake my drain. Drain line from my sink is always getting grease and solid matter in it, despite my attempts to keep it out. So the drain clogs two or three times a year. This machine has cleared the line every time. It's a dirty, messy job, but with it, I know I can always clear my drain in 20 minutes, even if it clogs Christmas morning, a few hours before 30 guests are set to arrive (that has happened and I didn't get stressed one bit because I knew I could fix the problem).
                          by
                            I have fought drainage issues with our kitchen sink for years now. Having used both manual and drill driven snakes, the Rigid PowerClear got the job done quicker and cleaner than any previously used techniques. I finally found the right tool.

                            BUYERS BE EXTREMELY AWARE!!!THIS MACHINE CAN AND WILL HURT YOU!!!
                            Since it's all about reviews here goes.the ridgid powerclear seems like a good machine at first until you try to unclog a drain with the machine.The Cable hose with the autofeed pops apart when you retract the cable back into the machine using the rear paddle of the autofeed without any load what so ever on the cable and allows the cable to whip around causing a potential for injury.I don't know why ridgid decided to make the hose in question a push fit hose when they should know that the cable is going to create force against the inside of the hose which leads to the hoses popping apart and allowing the cable to whip uncontrollably.The hose should have been made to screw together where the hoses must join to each other and to the drain machine itself.Both this ridgid powerclear and the ridgid company itself deserve zero stars because as if the dangerous flaw of the hoses popping apart and allowing the cable to whip around to cause injury wasn't bad enough ridgid customer service treats customers like total idiots and insist on blaming us the customers for the dangerous design flaws this machine suffers from.I am 65yrs old now and I learned plumbing and drain cleaning in my youth from certified and licensed plumbers and drain cleaners that took me under their wings and taught me the trades.Believe me when I tell you that getting a whack even with a 14" drain cable is no fun at all which is one of the lessons that I learned as a plumbing and drain cleaning apprentice and this ridgid powerclear can and will hurt you if the cable pops the hoses apart and the cable starts whipping around.ridgid should be ashamed to make and sell this machine with such a dangerous flaw which turns this machine into unusable garbage the way the machine is straight out of the box.
