RYOBI ONEAND 18V DRAIN AUGER TOOL ONLY P4001

It seems when tools like this are made in foreign countries they give you a manual that is made as inexpensive as possible. Lots of warnings so the legal staff they have can get the company off the hook. In fairness to the manufacturer the Darwin Awards would probably cover some person who would misuse it in some insane way. My complaint centers on a lack of communication which would easily be covered by including a DVD on how to use it. And so my fellow DYI's that answer is YouTube once again. The videos posted on the site were very helpful. As for the performance of the tool It quickly unblocked a drain line that the dishwasher is connected to. Worth the price but now I have to remember to charge the battery every now and then. For a battery operated tool this is one I would recommend since it has the power to drive the auger.

I was not excited that I had to clear a clog but was so glad that this equipment did it fast and easy… I am not a plumber but made me feel good that I clear the clog and didn’t have to call someone else to do it.. Be patient when using and go slow so not to send clog everywhere.

It got something unstuck. The thing got stuck again the following week. I am now happy to own this but would like to find a more pemanent solution than biweekly augers. My shower drain didn't take the whole auger but it seemed to work. I fiddled around after some videos and think I finally figured how to more quickly roll it back in. It has some great features to include the water drain panel. I like how easy it is to clean, as well as that I can interchange my power packs with other Ryobi appliances. That's awesome! Currently have three devices, and this fits my level of need for tools.

This was exactly what I needed. I had a stubborn clog in my washer drain line, and I could not clear it with my manual auger. Tried a few different times. Also, Drano wouldn't work because the clog was too far beyond the trap for even a full gallon to do the job. Checked around because I didn't want to buy more auger than I really needed since I'm not planning to clear a main line or anything. Bought this and cleared the line within 10 minutes. Wasn't hard to figure out how to work it either. Doesn't come with a battery, but I have other Ryobi cordless tools and was able to use one of them with this. MUCH cheaper than calling out a company to do it.

Worked for my intended purpose.

Did a great job on a major plug and it is well built like my other Roybi tools. Fully automatic feed in both directions. saved my a lot of money by not calling a plumber

Its a nice auger setup. Yet it is not the easiest auger to work. You think its spooling out but it gets stuck and you think You've hit something and its nothing. Difficult to get it to go around bends as it takes minutes at times in which for comparison I got out the old snake to see if it was just my technique or the units. The old snake got around easy peesy and I finished that drain with the old snake. After a few times using the unit {I manage multi rooming houses and my handy man got the virus so I got plenty of practice} I got used to it but still on some drains found myself just spinning the coil. I also paid $90 for an item thirty percent more expensive than the standard cost. I recommend u don't do that and google Ryobi and find for yourself the reality of the prices. I like Ryobi a lot and have many tools and battery's from them. That's why I bought this one

Within 5 minutes of getting this I popped open my tub drain with a PINA clog that never goes away. This thing lurched forward a bit. I felt the GRAB. I was like o'boy what did I just break? I pulled the cable back and WOW, a DEAD MOUSE came out. Well, not really. But the Nastiest hairball you could imagine came out with a 18" long tail. I am a professional know it all fix it all from cars, homes and as well a Licensed Inspector. Buy one even if just to add to that tool box. This Paid for its self. If I find another used one I am going to get it. Because you know how when a tool is well made and that company figures it out that stop making them. Or make them but cheaper so you have to buy them again or the parts. Well here ya go!

It was my mistake that I kept the machine in its box without testing it after I received it. Today, I needed to clear my drain, so I took it out to use it. Unfortunately, the auto mode is not working, and none of the buttons respond except the one that starts the machine. I understand that the return window expired last February, but since the machine has never been used before and appears to be faulty, I would appreciate it if you could advise me on how this issue can be resolved.

Great product, I am a landlord and have used this for a multitude of pipes and units. Good job rioby

Very well made

Well packaged and easy-to-use.

It may be a great product, but beware it doesn't come with a battery and they are expensive, so I've nevsuer actually bought one. In 10 years, I suspect, I should have just hired a professional to come clean my drains every couple of years (city, tree-lined street). Know your need and prices before ordering.
