ABSTRACT:
A simple, inexpensive apparatus which enables an ordinary power snake to be rotated by an electric drill. The apparatus consists of a telescope connected to a series of flexible tubes, i.e. garden hoses joined together by suitable couplings and an optional adapter for attaching the series of flexible tubes to the drain line. An electric drill is attached to the end of the snake protruding from the telescope to rotate the snake encased by the telescope and the tube train. Collapsing the telescope forces the snake into the drain line. Removing the telescope and the first section of the tube train and then reconnecting the telescope to the shortened tube train enables more snake to be forced down the drain line. This process may, of course, be repeated, as found necessary or desirable for complete unplugging of the drain line.
