ABSTRACT:
An attachment for a manually operable drain, pipe and trap cleaning tool permits connection of the tool to an electric drill for motorized operation of the tool. The drain cleaning tool has a stationary housing portion having a pistol-grip handle from which an enlarged end of a flexible plumber's rod extends, and a rotatable portion containing the coiled remainder of the rod. The rotatable portion has a central circular opening therein which receives a correspondingly shaped disc portion of the drive attachment. The disc is rigidly affixed to the rotatable housing portion by screws. An arbor receivable in a drill chuck is rigidly affixed perpendicularly to the disc at its center. The chuck is tightened about the arbor so that operation of the drill rotates the rotatable housing portion as well as the plumber's rod contained therein, with the rotational movement being transmitted along the length of the rod to the end thereof which is inserted into a drain to be cleaned.
