RIDGID K-46 Cordless SinkSnake™

Product Overview

The RIDGID® K-46 Cordless SinkSnake™ is engineered to efficiently clear tough blockages in 3/4" to 3" drain lines, commonly found in sinks, tubs, showers, and urinals. It operates on the RIDGID 18V Advanced Lithium Battery Platform, offering cordless freedom for daily professional tasks. The tool is designed with ergonomics and versatility in mind, featuring an integrated, multi-position kickstand for stability, a 360-degree rotatable AUTOFEED® system for cable management in both forward and reverse directions, an enclosed rotating drum to protect plumbing fixtures, and compatibility with various cable sizes and tools.

Key Features

Ergonomic Design: An integrated, multi-position kickstand reduces user fatigue by supporting the tool's weight in confined spaces like under sinks or in tubs.
Versatility: Comes standard with a 5/16" x 25' Inner Core Cable, but is compatible with 1/4" and 3/8" cable diameters up to 50 ft, as well as various cable tools like dropheads, spades, and c-cutter augers.
Powerful Performance: Equipped with a Brushless DC motor, it effectively clears blockages in 3/4" to 3" lines.
AUTOFEED® System: The 360-degree rotatable AUTOFEED® advances and retrieves the cable, facilitating easier navigation through pipes, including tight bends and P-traps.
Protective Design: A fully enclosed rotating drum prevents accidental damage to plumbing fixtures.
Precision Handling: The Cable Lock feature enhances control during manual blockage work.
Enhanced Visibility: A top-mounted LED light illuminates dark work areas, such as under sink vanities.
