Adds 3 Extra Feet of Cable For Stoppages Just Beyond The Bowl

The innovative Teletube® heavy-duty closet auger from General Pipe Cleaners – the industry’s most durable closet auger – excels at clearing stoppages just beyond the bowl.

No need to pull the bowl! The Teletube carries three extra feet of Flexicore® cable telescoped inside the guide tube. Just push the button for extra cable length when you need it.

General’s Flexicore closet augers are the ideal tools for clearing clogged toilets. The strength and durability of the Flexicore cable inside make the difference.

Flexicore comprises two layers of tempered spring steel coiled tightly over a core of 49-strand wire rope – for remarkable resistance to kinking. The design is so tough, it’s guaranteed against breakage for a full year – including damage to the cable, as well as to the closet auger’s other components.

The optional down head follows bowl contours – and springs through sharply angled passages while protecting inner walls from chipping or breaking.

You’ll also want the optional Closet Auger Bag. General’s convenient carrying case puts an end to dragging dripping closet augers though homes, hospitals, and offices.

It keeps your closet auger contained and out-of-sight to and from jobs. Three vent holes let the auger dry between tasks. And thick shoulder strap keeps hands free to carry other tools.

Savvy professionals call it the dependable way to preserve and protect sewer cables from rust. Now original Snake-Oil™ from General Pipe Cleaners is back!

Now called Snake-Oil Classic™, it’s better than common lubricants. General’s special rust inhibitor cuts through moisture – and replaces it with a rust resistant coating.

Sewer cables and machines – including drums, bearings and power cable feeds – enjoy significantly extended life. And General’s deodorant gives everything a fresh, clean smell.

It’s easy to use, too. Just pour a quantity of Snake-Oil Classic into your machine’s cable drum – and rotate the container, letting the oil contact as much of the cable as possible. Then drain off excess Snake-Oil Classic – and allow the cable to air-dry.

Snake-Oil Classic joins Snake-Oil Plus™, General’s new non-toxic, biodegradable addition to its Snake-Oil family. Snake-Oil Plus creates a virtually non-stick surface that keeps mud and debris from adhering to cables and equipment – extending the life of both.

Snake-Oil Classic is available in either quarts or gallons (New part # SOC-Q or SOC-G.)

Remember how cold it was last winter? Be ready this winter with General Pipe Cleaners’ Hot-Shot 320® and Hot-Shot 400® pipe thawing machines. They thaw pipes in minutes – without tearing up floors, breaking through walls, or digging around pipes in frozen ground. 

The Hot-Shot 320 generates 320 amps of thawing power to thaw up to 100 ft. of 1-1/2″ pipe – yet weighs just 30 lbs. The powerful Hot-Shot 400 generates 400 amps of thawing power to thaw frozen lines up to 175 ft. long and 1-1/2″ in diameter. Stuck on a job with only a 15 amp breaker? The Hot-Shot 400 sports a dual level output so you can switch to the 320 amp output – and pull just 14 amps. 

They’re easy to use too. Just attach the clamps to the frozen pipe section – and plug the unit into any convenient 115 volt outlet. In a few minutes, the frozen pipe is thawed out. Both machines are compact, feature a heavy gauge steel case, and carry a two year warranty.
