What is Flexible Shaft Technology? 

Flexible shaft technology is faster and more thorough than traditional 
drain  cleaners.  Flexible  shaft  spins  more  than  10  times  faster  than 
drum machines. At speeds of 2000 RPM or more, the cutters quickly 

grind up stoppages and scour the walls of the pipe. The flexible shaft 

is safely protected inside a sheath so it’s easy to handle –

 no spinning 

drums.  

 

Integral Variable Speed Motor 

The integral variable speed motor lets you adjust the speed from 0  - 
2400  rpm.  With  the  foot  pedal  you  have  both  hands  free  to  safely 

guide the flexible shaft into the line.

 

 

Stronger, Stiffer Flexible Shaft 

General’s  shaft  is  flexible  enough  to  get  through  2  inch  lines,  yet 

tough  strong  enough  to  cut  roots  in  4  inch  drain  lines  up  to  75  feet 

down the line. 

 

Field Repairable Flexible Shaft 

Free cutting flexible shaft is easily field repairable using an abrasive 

cutoff wheel or band saw. 

 

Non-Marring Flexible Shaft Coupler 

General's  unique  non-marring  flexible  shaft  coupler  securely  clamps 
onto  the  flexible  shaft  without  causing  damage  to  the  shaft.  Patent 

pending.

 

 

Safety Slip Clutch 

When properly adjusted, the safety slip clutch protects you from injury 

and the shaft from damage. It will slip if the cutter is caught or being 
forced into the stoppage too quickly.    

 

Easily Maneuverable Frame 

Durable  metal  frame  includes  10”  wheels  and  folding  handle,  and 

easily fits through narrow doorways.  

 

Two-Part Cutter Array 

General’s Innovative,  cutter system combines the unique  ClogChop-

per

®

 

with Carbide-Tipped Chain Cutters to 

make a formidable combi-

nation.

 

Together, they are capable of 

boring through tough stoppages 

and scale, 

shredding obstructions and scouring pipe walls clean.
