WORX Nitro 20V Power Share 25 ft. Drain Auger
What’s to love: No harsh chemicals needed to clear clogged drains.
What does it do: Powered by a WORX 20V 2.0Ah MAX lithium battery, this tool is designed to work in 2-inch pipes and has a corkscrew type auger at the end of a 25-foot cable. The compact case of a durable nylon resin has a rear handle and a grip in front for control. A power button on the top controls direction — forward, neutral and reverse. An LED light provides lighting for the work area. After clearing a clog and rinsing off the cable, a drain at the rear of the case prevents water build-up.
