INTRODUCING THE NEXT GENERATION FLEXIBLE SHAFT MACHINE

Flexi-Rooter®

Chain Cutter with Clog Chopper General has rethought high-speed, fl exible shaft machines. The stronger, stiffer rod lets you clean a wider range of drain lines, up to 75 feet long. It’s fl exible enough to negotiate 2" lines yet tough enough to clear roots in 4" lines.

General’s unique ClogChopper® cutter in combination with the carbide tipped chain cutter makes a formidable combination, capable of clearing the toughest stoppage.

The built-in variable speed motor with foot pedal control makes the machine easier to operate. And the rod is fi eld repairable. It’s everything a fl exible shaft machine should be.
