General’s Speedrooter XL® Blends Long Distance Clog-Busting Power With Easy Drum Changes
Now with easily interchangeable drums, the Speedrooter XL® from General Pipe Cleaners clears tough clogs in 3” to 10” lines – up to 200 feet.
The rugged, easy-to-maneuver Speedrooter XL sports a powerful 3/4 hp motor and 100 foot capacity drums for Flexicore® cable.
Change drums to add cable lengths or swap cable sizes with ease. Just loosen three knobs and remove the drum. Switch between 3/4” or 5/8” cables in the large drum design – General’s see through inner cage lets you quickly gauge how much cable remains – or substitute the small drum with 100 feet of 1/2” cable for smaller lines.
Variable speed cable feed offers raw driving and pulling power for long, tough jobs – feeding and retrieving 3/4”, 5/8”, and 1/2” cables. To adjust 3/4” or 5/8” cables, simply turn a knob on top of the feed – no screwdriver required!
One person can easily load Speedrooter XL onto a truck. The machine’s frame slides smoothly from the loading wheel to the handle to stair climbers and finally to the wheels. The adjustable height, swept back handle also provides maximum maneuvering leverage. And the durable design features a braced frame at key stress points, front and rear drum supports for longer bearing wear, and Flexicore® cable.
Flexicore® cable offers superior kink resistance and unequalled strength with the right amount of flexibility. It’s so tough that it carries a one year warranty against breakage.

General Pipe Cleaners introduces the new JM-1000 Mini-Jet™, a compact and lightweight solution for clearing grease, sand and ice clogs. This new water jet is available at a great introductory price.
The JM-1000 clears small lines, clogged sinks and laundry drains in 1-1/2- to 3-inch diameters, with 1,500 psi of cleaning power. General’s powerful, compact jet hits the stoppage with high-pressure, wall-to-wall water spray, and flushes it away. Pulse technology helps the hose slide around tight bends and reach farther into lines.
Weighing only 23 pounds and measuring 24” x 10-1/2” x 11”, the Mini-Jet is a portable package that is easy to carry and store.
The tough tool resists jobsite abuse as well. The pump and motor assembly are safely contained in a rugged, diamond-plate metal case. The jet is also equipped with a sensor to automatically stop the motor if water stops flowing through the pump, protecting the unit from damage.
“The new JM-1000 Mini-Jet is small but mighty. It’s easy to store among tools and carry right to the drain trouble,” said Marty Silverman, vice president of marketing, General Pipe Cleaners. “We’re excited about this new jet offering, not only is it available at a great price, we’re also sending a spray wand assembly with each complete Mini-Jet that’s ordered.”
The JM-1000 Mini-Jet includes a high-pressure jet hose in 30 or 50 foot lengths, four piece nozzle set, water supply hose, shut-off valve, and universal faucet adapter. Safety features include a three wire ground fault circuit interrupter.

Milwaukee® REDSTICK™ Box Levels Deliver Industry-Leading Durability & Guaranteed Accuracy.
Milwaukee Tool has once again delivered innovation to a core category of tools aimed at the professional building trades with the introduction of REDSTICK™ Box Levels. Designed with an All-Metal Backbone™ that reinforces the box level frame and new-to-world, SHARPSITE™ Vial Technology, REDSTICK™ Box Levels are the most durable and easy to read layout solution for professional tradesmen – delivering precision accuracy within 0.029 degrees.
“Broken vials, bent frames and damaged levels are a major frustration for users across the building trades. We set out to eliminate common level failures by focusing on new-to-world innovation and technology that delivers advanced durability and leading accuracy to give users confidence on the jobsite,” said Ryan Schwoegler, Group Product Manager. “With the introduction of REDSTICK™ Box Levels, we built a solution for the tradesman who expects their level to embody the Milwaukee® promise of ‘Nothing but HEAVY DUTY.’”
Critical to the REDSTICK™ Box Levels’ durability is an All-Metal Backbone™ which produces the strongest frame in the industry and eliminates common frame deformations seen in box levels. The Backbone™ reinforced frame also creates a more secure and protected vial setting to protect accuracy and prevent damage or loosening. High-density, removable endcaps protect the frame and provide better access into tight spaces.
For the very best readability and visual accuracy, the new Box Levels feature SHARPSITE™ Vial Technology. Black bands on the vials create high contrast edges that make the magnified bubble easier to read and deliver precision-grade accuracy. Built to withstand challenging jobsite conditions, SHARPSITE™ vials are engineered with high-impact acrylic which delivers 10X more durability than the standard competitive block vials and protects the accuracy over the life of the level. With the launch of REDSTICK™ Levels, Milwaukee will also introduce a Lifetime Accuracy Guarantee. In the unlikely event that the end user experiences an issue with vial accuracy, the level can be replaced.
All magnetic models include amplified rare-earth magnets which provide maximum holding power in common metal applications. Precision milled measuring surfaces on the top and bottom guarantee accuracy in all working positions.
For users who require a smaller profile box level, Milwaukee will also introduce REDSTICK™ Compact Levels. Built on a compact box level frame, the levels are designed for tight access use or jobsite installation applications with smaller working surfaces.
All new REDSTICK™ Levels are designed to meet the needs on the jobsite and backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Milwaukee will continue to grow in the layout & measurement space by providing premium, pro-driven solutions that offer industry-leading performance, innovative features and increased durability.

New ProPEX ® engineered polymer (EP) opposing-port tees reduce the number of required fittings in a riser application by 75%.Apple Valley, Minn., Nov. 1st, 2016 — Uponor North America (Uponor) is now offering an innovative solution for PEX hydronic heating and cooling applications with back-to-back installation spacing constraints.The new ProPEX® engineered polymer (EP) opposing-port tees eliminate the need for additional tees and elbows to facilitate piping in two directions, reducing the number of required fittings by 75%.”Our new ProPEX EP opposing-port tees are a time-, cost- and labor-saving solution for hydronic piping systems,” says Mark Hudoba, director, Heating and Cooling at Uponor. “Instead of using four fittings to change piping direction in a confined space, an opposing-port tee can do it with just one part.”Available in 1″, 1¼”, 1½” and 2″ flow-through sizes with ¾” outlets, the ProPEX EP opposing-port tees are listed to ASTM F1960 as well as NSF 14, and they are code-compliant with the International Mechanical Code (IMC) and Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC) for hydronic heating and cooling applications.
