With plenty of raw power for long, tough jobs, field-proven Speedrooter 92® from General Pipe Cleaners clears tree roots and other stubborn stoppages in 3” to 10” lines up to 100 feet long.
Plumbing, drain cleaning, and maintenance experts agree: General’s durable design offers rugged reliability with optimal control, ease-of-use, and maneuverability.
Power Cable Feed drives and retracts cables up to 20 feet per minute – making clog clearing fast and easy. And a guide tube boosts cable efficiency and operator safety by reducing tangling, whipping, and drag.
Adjusting Speedrooter 92 to different cable sizes is simple. Just turn the knob atop the feed – no screwdriver or special tool required.
It transports and handles easily, too. General’s muscular machine rides on 10” ball bearing tires. The adjustable height, swept-back handle provides maximum maneuvering leverage. And one worker can easily load it onto a truck.
Speedrooter 92 features a braced frame at key stress points, heavy-duty 1/2 hp motor, tool box, and 100 ft. of 3/4” or 5/8” Flexicore® cable.

Diagnostic tools from RIDGID, a part of Emerson’s professional tools portfolio, have been trusted by professionals on the toughest jobsites for more than 25 years
RIDGID®, part of Emerson’s professional tools portfolio, introduces the SeeSnake® microReel™ APX™ to optimize inspections. Engineered with a lightweight, compact profile for easy portability, the microReel APX features bright LED lights with high color accuracy and auto-flip imagery delivering crisp, detailed images and ensuring upright viewing angles in a variety of pipe conditions. Paired with TruSense® technology, this tool delivers the industry’s best in-pipe image.
The microReel APX is the most recent camera reel from RIDGID to offer TruSense technology to help plumbers better pinpoint problem areas in-pipe. It also comes with a built-in kickstand for in-field versatility with multiple configurations for optimal operation.
TruSense establishes a two-way datalink between the camera head and a connected RIDGID SeeSnake Wi-Fi-enabled monitor. With TruSense, advanced sensors on the camera head convey information about the in-pipe environment, while the HDR image sensor expands the camera’s dynamic range, allowing a greater ratio of bright and dark areas to be displayed at the same time without reducing visibility. This delivers superior clarity and detail with fewer blown-out areas and sections of the pipe that are too dark to see. TiltSense™ measures the camera’s angle and, when connected to a SeeSnake series monitor, the camera can convey the camera’s degree of tilt on the monitor – giving professionals a useful indicator of the pitch of the camera in-pipe.
“The RIDGID SeeSnake microReel APX is our latest and most portable camera reel to offer TruSense technology, giving plumbers the enhanced data capabilities they need to diagnose issues,” said Laura Wolverton, marketing director, underground technologies, RIDGID for Emerson. “RIDGID has been a leader in diagnostics for over 25 years, making camera reels built to last no matter how harsh the jobsite environment.”
All RIDGID SeeSnake reels come with the RIDGID Full Lifetime Warranty.

Sewer Camera Plus Gen-Pack™ Battery Adapter, Wi-Fi, and Distance Counter
The Gen-Eye X-POD Plus® sewer camera system from General Pipe Cleaners includes the Gen-Pack™ battery adapter, Wi-Fi transmitter, and an on-screen distance counter as standard equipment to boost productivity and profitability.

Fuse-protected to safeguard your equipment investment, the Gen-Pack battery adapter is also available separately. Battery and charger are not included.
X-POD Plus makes sharing inspections easy. The built-in Wi-Fi transmitter lets you view and record work on a cell phone or tablet. And with the system’s USB port, you can also archive activity on handy flash drives.
The on-screen distance counter also shows how far the camera has travelled down a line in feet or meters. And for optimum accuracy, settings can be adjusted for full size or mini-reel configurations.
General’s powerful X-POD Plus Command Module packs other standard features, too – including:
- A big 7” LCD color monitor with a sunscreen for easy viewing in any location.
- “One-touch” recording for speed and convenience.
- 4X Digital zoom for close-up inspections.
- Voice-Over Recording for job-site commentary.
- Date & Time stamp for work documentation.
The lightweight, popular X-POD systems combine camera, reel, and monitor into one compact package. A durable docking arm supports the Command Module – and permits height and angle adjustments for optimal viewing.
The full size X-POD features a self-leveling color camera and 200 ft. of tough, Kevlar® braid Gel-Rod® for inspecting 3” to 10” drain lines, and a Reel Cage Cover to protect work sites and equipment from dripping video cable reels. Full size reels sport 10” wheels for optimal maneuverability.
The compact Mini-Reel model carries 100 ft. or 200 ft. of rugged Gel-Rod with mini color self-leveling camera to trouble-shoot 2” and 3” lines with 15% more light than competitive models offer. The rugged steel frames and reels include a drag brake and reel lock.
