drum man coming out of the closet

[PLUMBER RICK]

i'm not going to say who, but there is a drum man that is coming out of the closet and is real close to buying a k-60:D

i hope all you drummers will accept him for who he is:slap:

if he wants to share his experience with us, he will. otherwise i'll keep it under wrap:rolleyes:

I picture a self help group of plumbers at a local civic hall. All in a circle, the new guy stands up and says, "Hi my name is Bob & I'm a drum man."

HI BOB!

Haha, Rick you are a recovering drum-man yourself! I rememebr reading some OLD posts of yours praising how drums were the best...yadda, yadda, yadda.....:rolleyes:

LOL-The difference in Rick's conversion is I was much more subtle in converting him than he is now. However, if you've ever met Rick in person he has the passion and enthusiasm of 100-normal plumbers. I guess that makes him like a super-hero in plumbing.

a list of equiptment should include:
hand held drain gun with 5/16'' and 3/8'' cable x 35'
a combination 3/8'' and 1/2'' drum machine with 75'-100' of cable.
a sewer machine with 3/4'' cable and enough cable to clean 150'- 200'.
of course you need all the proper cutters and leaders.
don't forget the plunger and a 6' closet auger.
a hydro jetter would be a great addition for grease and area drains.
a camera and locator is a very large expense and not recommended if you don't do repairs.

some like sectional cable machines. i own a few and they do a good job, but are slower to get started and put away. too much handeling of the cables.

Who said that?:killingme:

[Service Guy]

On a more serious note, Rick was the most helpful guy when I was buying my sewer equipment this winter. Based on my needs, he convinced me to go with the K-60 and its perfect for me.:clapping:

[Drain Medic]

Its not Rob. Allthough he is getting something special real soon :D

Oh well another one bites the dust i guess.

Quick story.

I was on a job today. (He took pictures of it and is going to send me some). Real bad odor in his garage. Found an open 4in running trap for the rear storm line. I said that is where your smell is coming from, your supposed to have a cap on that. He says to me, "There hasnt been a cap on that in years and its never smelled like that." I told him maybe the trap water evaporated. It didnt evaporate. SO i run some water down the trap its draining. I told him, lets jet the line and clean it out. So i jet it, cant get thru the trap, but noticed what looked like wire sticking up out of the water. SO i took my gloves off to get the wire out of the standpipe, (only 4in deep) That piece of wire was the tail of a HUGE dead rat. I couldnt believe it. I never in 14yrs saw a sewer rat that big. It was the size of my forearm. Was able to get the jet around the trap after that :D

He thought it was ok as long as he didn't mention any names:p

actually it was still a secret as no one knew it was you. you blew it:D

so i guess you did buy it:confused:

now your in the majority, not the minority;)

just make sure the neighbor has parked the toureg in the garage before you take the k-60 for a test drive:D

i guess the master blaster was the deciding factor.

p.s. i let you win so you would feel better about buying the sectional:lol:

I've always been a Little Drummer Boy

Yes I use the K-50 and K-1500 and I hate them both. (GASP!)

I might come to hate the k60..who knows?

When I saw the K-60 matched up against the K-7500 at the Roundup, I went straight for the 7500

Our shop provides the 1500 (upright version) for main stoppages I just want to keep one machine to do multiple tasks and save space on my truck.

Now that the k-50 is coming off my truck I'll need a new top snake

I'll PM what I paid for the K-60

[gear junkie]

I still don't get it. Why get the k60? You've given sectionals a fair shake and if you don't like it......oh well, different strokes for different folks. Did Rick give you his money back guarantee?

if he's use to the k-50, he'll love the k-60 with 7/8'' cable.

If I wanted to buy a k60 that was run over by a truck you still would have given me the blessing

I think you are more excited over this purchase than I am :happydance:

Now comes the hard part....telling Anita :help:

I took her out last night for a dinner and concert to break the news :canoodle:

So far not too bad. She didn't start screaming and waving her hands around like she normaly does when I go over the tool budget.

She casually asked 'how much?' :scratchhead:

Beads of sweat began forming on my brow at this point. I stated in a firm reassuring tone "this should be the last sewer machine I will will buy until I retire" :ignore:

Just at that moment the waitress brought us our meals... phew! Off the hook for now :D

MMMmmmm.....Yankee Pot Roast :oink:

Looks like I'll need to hide the credit card bill again :o

The only problem I have noted with the slippers is the tail is like having an untied shoe lace. If you are not careful they will trip you up. I would cut the tails off but then they would not look as cool.

Rick - I just bought several sections of 7/8 & 5/8 cable for our brandly new K-60, still sitting there, waiting for its first workout. Any particular reason why you recommend a k-50 with 5/8 cable?

BTW - Thanks for the list! I'm checkin' it twice against our 1st drain rig.

Since Rick has not answered yet I will tell you the K-50 is smaller and faster to get in and out on smaller lines. My favorite machine is the K-50 while Rick's is the K-60. That being said we both own both machines.

no real reason. the k-60 will run the same 5/8'' cable as the k-50.
personally i don't use the drum adapters that the k-50 will run that allows for use of 5/16'' and 3/8'' cable.

you'll do fine with just the k-60.

i have a few k-50's just for fun:D sure i use it, but that's because i have it. if i didn't, then i would use the k-60;)

same reason why i have a .357 magnum. and a .38 revolver.

the 357 will shoot both the 38's and 357.
the 38 will shoot just the 38.:D

sure the 357 (k-60)is a stronger gun.

the 38, (k-50) does the same as a 357 shooting 38's.

make sense:confused:

[gear junkie]

I like the k50 for 5/8 cable because it spins at 400 rpm vs 600 rpm for the k60. The slower speed gives me a better feel with the smaller cable. Plus this gives me the excuse to buy another machine. The k50 isn't absolutely neccesary but it's good to have.

You know I didn't even consider the difference in RPMs between the two machines. 200 rpms to me is significant. How does 5/8" cable handle at that speed? Sometimes I think 400 rpm is fast.

The K60 hasn't even been delivered yet and I already have buyers remorse.

I bought a 7/8" trap leader today. I know I can get a 1-1/4" open wound cable to go around a 4" trap with a leader on the K1500.

Can I expect to get the 7/8" cable to go around a 3" trap?... a 2" trap?

it will be interesting to see if you still feel that way after it`s the only machine on your truck???

If you dont like it I`ll give ya $50.00 for it as I can always use it for a jackstand :killingme:

Can I expect to get the 7/8" cable to go around a 3" trap?... a 2" trap?The 5/8 cable with the 60 runs a little different. On a straight run, the 60 works better but for turns, I like the 50. The faster speed almost makes it bind up faster. This is important-the easiest way to change the machine from 7/8 to 5/8 and vice versa is to loosen the setscrew and place the cable in the machine(turned off)and press the handle down. Turn the adjustment thingamajig until the handle rises or lowers to mid level. Tighten the set screw and you're set. I wasted alot of time trying to figure this one out. It's funny you mentioned the trap leader. I just got in 2 that I ordered last week. I plan on only using this for my innercore cable. The 7/8 cable is flexible enough where you won't need the trap leader. I can get a 7/8 cable through a 2" pvc 90. It'll go through a 3" ptrap but a 2" is stretching it. I won't steal Rick's thunder and will let him go further into detail on that one.

I can't promise that you'll like the 60 since you've already tried sectionals but it will get the job done. Get some innercore cable and it'll become a true mainline machine.

[gear junkie]

I'm the opposite. I got the trigger pressed all the way down. When the cable is coming back and almost out the drain, I will slow down.

Good to know. I haven't even had a chance to put my hands on a K-60 yet. (this shows how much faith I have in the Forum advice) I thought it was just a lever that I flipped to change cable sizes.

I have a 39 and a Milwaukee. They spin way to fast to run em with trigger pressed all the way down. I would have cable wrapped around my neck. Going slow sometimes I have seen em bind up pretty good so I just take it easy till I find the clog.

[gear junkie]

I also have the k39, haven't had a problem yet. Does the milwaukee stop as soon as you let off the trigger?

[All Clear Sewer]

yea but if your going fast it will try to brake your wrist or fly out of your hand.

I have a little cobra on a stand that I use most of the time anymore. I junked the cheap cobra cable and it is now my favorite little machine. I`ve been thinking about sticking my cordless on it and then I know it will be my favorite little machine :D

[gear junkie]

yea but if your going fast it will try to brake your wrist or fly out of your hand.


It's funny you say this. The question of wrist torque of the k39 was asked at the roundup and I was the only one that said it was excessive. Maybe I need to slow down the rotation.

[All Clear Sewer]

Maybe, just maybe ;)

[Cuda]

I just tap the trigger on the K39, I have pretty strong arms and I feel it's little kick when hit full on. But I kinda like that it has power better than some drill motor that makes brush smell that is dieing from the over load. All Clear I bought one of those Cobra machines when I was 50 miles from home and needed a 3/8 cable snake that was longer I needed 45 feet for the job, man yes that cable kinked the first job what a joke, I thought about buying some good cable for it but I don't like the way the controls on it are, to hard to use for me.

i accidentally got a 7/8'' cable with auger through a 2'' roof drain with trap.

cleared the line and discovered it was 2'' with a trap:eek:

fortunately i found a location in a t-bar ceiling to remove my cutter and cable.

the male and female coupling will not make a bend in a 2'' n.h. trap. don't know how i got it through in the first place, but it didn't want to come back.

Innercore cable?? What are you guys doing to me? :banghead:

the regular cable is great. i like the inner core for the extra stiffness in 6'' pipe.

get your hands on the k-60 and you'll be thanking me all the way to the bank.

remember, your 1 of us now;)

[All Clear Sewer]

Cuda the one I use looks like this one
http://images.orgill.com/200x200/1809763.jpg
I took out the crap cable as you stated it was junk after the first uses.
I like it because I can run 50` of 5/16 with no problem. I bet I could go 75` but right now I just have 50`s in it.
I also took off the crapy foot switch and just run it by hand.
Now I love this little POS :D

[Cuda]

Yea mine looks like that but blue frame I put it in my other guys van but when I was in Home Depot they had a K39-AF that somebody returned and it was marked down to $175 so now he uses that but has the cobra as a backup for longer runs. Anything longer for me I use the K60 nowdays or my little mini gas jetter.

[All Clear Sewer]

Mine is also blue but I bought it at Lows. I was needing a new cable for my 39 but they didn't have any 50` cable so I bought the little cobra machine so I could finish a job I was on. When the cable started rapping around my hand I knew right then this cable was crap....lol
I found some good cable and have been using it ever since.

[stokefire7]

The 60 is on it's way.:D

[Service Guy]

Got a call from a catering company tonight. They had the main drain cleared two weeks ago by someone else and its backing up again. I'll be out there tomorrow morning.

I am betting the 600 rpm K-60 7/8" cable will do a better job!:ok:

[gear junkie]

Get ready for the grease. Need pics and updates.

[MrsSeatDown]

Get ready for the grease. Need pics and updates.

If it's grease don't you need a jetter?

[gear junkie]

Not always. The mushy soupy grease that collects in the dips are very tough but if you use the 4 bladed cutter, you can usually clean the line alright. The drum moves so slow it just kind of blends the grease. The sectional whips so fast that it churns the grease allowing it to be flushed. The open wind also acts as an Achemiades Screw which will help move things along further. No doubt that the jetter is the right tool that will clean the line but the k60 will still do a great job for a lot less money.

I think the new K-6200 has a new built-in torque limiter. My experience with the older models, well, I don't like them at all. The gear-driven drum machine breaks cables easily. But maybe with the new torque-limiter that won't be as much of a problem.

service guy, the blow bag puts out very little water. more of a pulse.

use an old washing machine hose with 1 end cut off and add a hose shut off at the connection to the main hose. this will allow you to flush with lots of water instead of a little squirt/ pulse. jetting is a volume thing. so is flushing. the more water, the more flushing. do this while you're snaking and control the water to keep from pulling out;)

Thanks Rick! Good idea. I will try that instead.

Why not the Big Boy K-7500?

[Service Guy]

Well, it wasn't a grease problem after all. It was a broken pipe, the K-60 cleared it fine, but they need to get the pipe repaired. I need to get a camera and locator soon, its hard to work without them once you get spoiled...as soon as I can afford it.:(
