General Pipe Cleaners offers the Easy Rooter Junior with more power and capacity. A 1/3-hp capacitor motor can drive up to 100 feet of 1/2-inch Flexicore wire rope center cable.

The product rolls on 8-inch ball bearing semi-pneumatic tires, a size usually found only on larger machines. A quickly folding handle makes it easy to load into a car trunk, and if necessary, the cage can be removed from the frame in less than a minute. A safety slip clutch, ground fault interrupter, pneumatic foot pedal and instructional video are standard equipment.

“This design makes it easier for the homeowner to get the machine to and from the job,” says Marty Silverman, vice president of marketing. “The folding handle means the unit can still fit in the trunk of a car. The extra capacity allows the user to clear longer lines and the more powerful motor gives you the extra torque required to cut through heavy stoppages.”

The machine comes with a wide variety of cables, cutters and accessories. Flexicore cables are made of heavy gauge wire that is coiled tightly around 42-strand aircraft-type wire rope and heat-treated.
