A drain pipe unclogging apparatus for clinging to and removing debris from a drain. The drain pipe unclogging apparatus is attached to a drill and can fit most electric and cordless battery powered drills. The drain pipe apparatus features a wire that is safe to the touch when the drain pipe apparatus is in use, yet still effective for clinging to and breaking apart debris.

Various decoupler tools are described for disengaging drain cleaning equipment couplings. Such couplings typically include a component secured at an end of a drain cleaning cable and a cutter or other accessory used in a drain cleaning operation. The decoupler tools include one or more pins which are used to retract a spring-actuated plunger in one of the coupling components.

Motor dampening provisions are described. Incorporation and use of the motor dampener(s) in a rotary type drain cleaning machine enables elimination of a clutch in the machine. Also described are clutch-free drive systems using the motor dampener(s). Also described are torque countering members that are used in conjunction with the motor dampener(s).

An automated system for a jetter system, a method for automatically filling a sewer access system with antifreeze liquid, and a method for automatically recapturing antifreeze within a sewer access system are provided. The automated system may include: a control system configured to provide a normal operational mode, an auto antifreeze mode, and an auto recapture mode; a pump; first and second tanks, and conduits that connect these components. The system automatically fills the conduits with antifreeze liquid from the second tank and then can automatically purge the conduits of antifreeze liquid and return the antifreeze liquid to the second tank for later use in again filing the conduits with antifreeze liquid.

A tool for cleaning a drain includes a handle, a shaft, an auger head, and a sleeve. The handle includes a core, a crank, and a grip. The core defines a tool axis along the length of the tool. The crank is made integral with the core and extends radially from the core and the tool axis. The grip extends orthogonally from the crank and parallel to the core. The grip turns the crank to rotate the auger head relative to the sleeve, when the sleeve is held in place. The auger head at the end of the shaft is made integral with the shaft and has an elongated and undulated shape. The auger head includes a plurality of segments, and each segment has a curved surface, and there are barbs on a respective curved surface.

A drain cleaner assembly including a base unit including a housing, a drive arrangement positioned within the housing, and a motor coupled to the drive arrangement and supported by the housing, the motor operable to selectively drive the drive arrangement, and a drum unit removably coupled to the base unit. The drum unit includes a drum that engages the drive arrangement when the drum unit is coupled to the base unit to rotate the drum, a cable stored within the drum and selectively extendable out of the drum and into a drain, and an outer casing at least partially surrounding the drum, wherein the drum is rotatable within the outer casing, wherein the drive arrangement includes a coupling arrangement between the motor and the drum, the drive arrangement extending through the outer casing.

The system disclosed herein is directed to a plunger having a protective sleeve for shielding contaminants from the plunger. The plunger includes a handle, and a flexible cup. The body further includes a tab, a shoulder region, a central portion, a first tail, and a second tail. An inlet is disposed on the external surface of the flexible cup. The inlet is coupled to a connector. A through-hole is disposed in the flexible cup or the handle. The through-hole is configured to receive the body of the protective sleeve by passing a portion of the body through an opening of the flexible cup.
