Anyone see that? Looks like they finally have a shaft cleaner coming?!?!

At the Ridgid Road show at my supply hoses a local rep showed me a couple of pictures of a ridgid carrier that had flex cable in it there were two models with different lengths of cable almost looked like a camera. It does not have a motor you use a battery or electric drill to run it.

Any idea on price yet?

Could this be the Ridgid Whacker? Possibly?

As you probably guessed by the date on the video, we will be doing demonstrations at WWETT (Booth #1245.) Please stop by if you are making the trip. If not, I am sure pictures and videos will make their way out. Hope everyone is doing well.

Very exciting. Hopefully Ridgid. or someone can upload some videos for us overseas folks.

If you nee someone to field test a unit, I can give it a work out. I do commercial , industrial, and lots of root infested residential lines that we give a 2 year guarantee on.

Working in one of the hilliest cities around, I can say Flex Shaft has been a wonderful addition to my kit. I have one plumbing firm I work for, that seem to get all the really bad access calls. I'm talking parking thats 100'- 300' from the access path, then the same again or more to the house up hill or down a hill at a 30 - 45 degrees climb or accent over steps, bush etc.

I also do a heap of commercial terrible parking access, the jobs several stories up - not much fun dragging jetter hoses up service ducts several stories.

Before Flex Shaft I would literally have to drag a auger or hose all that way to do the job & you'd feel like you just run a marathon, now if I know its not a great distance to the blockage, I can usually clear it with FS in minutes & save my body a whole lot of pain.

Whilst I use Flex Shaft, its either my home made version or short lengths I bought when first trying to learn what can be done & I would love to get a machine to keep it all tidy as well as hold more cable.

Can't speak for any snow/frozen places (maybe Pro Service can test one for Ridgid up his way) but if Ridgid's machine passes all the work I do in New Zealand, then it should be a good machine.

I am going to look at the Clog Dog, but will wait to see what Ridgid puts out before deciding on my first machine.
