I’m maintenance in several high rise apt buildings and it’s time for me to buy a big drain snake. Problem is I have an old 7/8” 125’ real electric snake that is old and done. One bldg needs a slightly smaller cable due to a few 90s in the drain run. I actually need a 1/2” cable for one bldg and 3/4” for another and around 100’. What’s your best advice on buying one that can change drums or do I have to buy 2?

I have been using a Burton Power SNake, with 2 drums, for 50 years and it has ALWAYS done the job. Without a power feed it quickly breaks down into 2 pieces for easy portability.

Medium-weight machine with heavy-duty power for 3" - 6" lines up to 200' when used with second drum
Compact design allows operation in tight spaces and fits through the narrowest doorways
Permanent Magnet gear-reduced quiet motor with watertight switch makes Spartan machines the quietest in the industry
Accepts the Model 100 drum for added flexibility

Thank you

My my Bern, have prices gone up. I bought a new 1960 Volkswagen in Germany for only $1147.00. Cost me $200.00 to ship it to New York.

I never considered the 300 a "medium weight" machine. you would probably need a hoist to move it up and down stairs.

a building needing a 300 most likely has elevators
