A drain-pipe interface device is disclosed. The drain-pipe interface device may include a hollow profile defining a threaded portion located on an outer surface the hollow profile. The threaded portion is configured to engage with an opening associated with a drain-pipe, to couple the drain-pipe interface device with the opening. The drain-pipe interface device may further include a handle provided on the hollow profile. The handle may be used to rotate the drain-pipe interface device couple with the opening.

A power tool adapter for a drain cleaning device is disclosed herein. The power tool adapter includes an adapter body having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the proximal end portion of the adapter body being oppositely disposed relative to the distal end portion of the adapter body. The distal end portion of the adapter body is configured to be coupled to a drain cleaning device having a plurality of hook elements disposed thereon, the plurality of hook elements configured to grab and collect debris from a drain pipe; and the proximal end portion of the adapter body is configured to be coupled to a rotary motion input device that is sufficient to rotate the plurality of hook elements of the drain cleaning device about a rotational axis so as to grab and collect the debris from the drain pipe.

A tool for opening or removing a blockage from a drain is shown. In one embodiment, the drain cleaning tool includes a drum, a spinning handle, a support handle, a cable, and a cable lock assembly. The spinning handle is coupled to the drum and rotatable to coil the cable after use of the drain cleaning tool. The support handle is positioned between the drum and a tip of the drain cleaning tool. In another embodiment, the drain cleaning tool includes a tip portion, a body, a handle, and a cable. The drain cleaning tool further includes a flexible portion of the cable and retention mechanism such that the drain cleaning tool can be folded.

A drain cleaning device includes a drum, and a cable positioned within the drum. The cable is operable to be extended out of the drum and into a conduit. The drain cleaning device also includes a motor coupled to the drum to rotate the drum, a sensor operable to detect a characteristic of the cable, and a controller coupled to the sensor and the motor. The controller is configured to receive a signal from the sensor indicative of the characteristic of the cable and send an instruction to the motor to change an operating parameter of the motor based on the signal received from the sensor.
