Don’t be fooled by imitations! More than 50 years of technical advancements made rugged, all-metal Kinetic Water Ram ® from General Pipe Cleaners the choice for quickly clearing clogged lines with the power of compressed air!
Just pump it up, insert into a drain – and snap the trigger. It’s that fast.
Environmentally friendly, the compact, portable tool is cleaner than snakes – and safer than chemicals. Plus it is probably quicker than both! They say time is money and with the Kinetic Water Ram, you can save a lot of time with it as part of your arsenal, which allows you to get to the next job faster, making you more money!
It requires no electrical power or CO 2 gas. And it’s great for plumbing, drain cleaning, maintenance, and rental applications.
Lightweight and economical, futuristic Kinetic Water Ram generates a shock wave that instantly pulverizes stoppages in 1-1/4″ to 4″ lines – yet won’t harm pipes.
The shock wave bypasses vents and bends to batter clogs. And the built-in pump and pressure gaugelets operators choose the right amount of force for each job.
Dimitri Stefanopoulis, a facilities manager in the New York Public School System, has been using the General Pipe Cleaners Kinetic Water Ram on a daily basis for many years.
“I purchased the Water Ram from General about 14 years ago. It works great and requires no power or no electric. Just crank it up and go,” Dimitri says. See what he has to say here:
An optional toilet attachment screws onto the front of Kinetic Water Ram, turning it into a powerful plunger. The specially designed accessory precisely positions in bowls for a tight seal, hitting blockages with maximum impact – and no splash back.
General’s sleek, metal plated Kinetic Water Ram comes in a sturdy carrying case with molded compartments for the tool and accessories. A Schraeder valve for use with an external air compressor when clearing difficult blockages is also provided.

- 2025 DEWALT Power Pulse Survey finds increasing readiness for electrification with 66% of construction managers and 59% of skilled workers surveyed saying complete electrification on jobsites may be just two years away
DEWALT, a Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) brand and leader in total jobsite solutions, is unveiling industry insights from its 2025 Power Pulse Survey at this year’s World of Concrete®† Trade Show in Las Vegas, taking place January 21-23. The survey found an increasing readiness for electrification with 66% of construction managers and 59% of skilled workers saying complete electrification on jobsites may be just two years away. The award-winning DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ system is at the forefront of this shift, revolutionizing concrete jobsites by offering a powerful alternative to traditional gas-powered equipment. Both the DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ system and the brand’s total concrete solutions will be on display throughout the week outside of the Las Vegas Convention Center at booth #031157.
The survey also reveals a strong desire to transition towards the future of the jobsite with electric-powered tools. While the pros surveyed cited power supply and tool durability (39% and 35% respectively) as concerns regarding electric-powered tools, these concerns have decreased compared to last year’s survey (44% and 39% respectively.) Moreover, 72% of respondents who switched to electrified tools on jobsites say it has allowed them to complete projects up to two to three times faster compared to gas-powered tools. What’s more, 93% of respondents believe that electric-powered tools will have a positive impact on the environment compared to gas-powered tools.
Other key findings of DEWALT’s 2025 Power Pulse Survey include:
- Key Benefits of Electric: Compared to gas-powered tools, 45% of construction management cited safety (i.e., fewer gas tanks on jobsite, limiting tripping hazards, etc.) and ease of use as the most significant benefits of using electric-powered tools.
- Sustainably-Minded Business Development: Ninety percent (90%) of construction managers agreed that adopting more sustainable building solutions would help win more business for their company.
- Reducing Stress and Strain on the Job: Safety concerns are the biggest stressor across jobsites, with 45% of skilled workers citing this factor. Also high on their list is the physical strain from using heavy equipment and performance issues with the tools and equipment (36%, 36%).
- The Future of the Jobsite: Ninety-four percent (94%) of construction professionals are confident that their construction sites are adequately fitted for the transition to fully electric-powered tools, a meaningful increase from the 89% that expressed confidence last year.
