Drum Drain Auger Cleaning Kit - 9-Piece Set (6 m to 15 m)
Nine-piece drum drain auger kit: pick-up tool, three grabbers, two brushes, gloves, goggles and storage bag. 6 m to 15 m cable, custom colour and logo.
A drum drain auger cleaning kit bundles the drum auger with the hand tools that finish a blocked drain: a pick-up tool, three grabbers, two brushes, gloves, goggles and a storage bag. Buyers order a kit rather than a bare machine because the accessories add little to the landed cost but prevent the callbacks that follow a half-cleared line.
What is in the nine-piece kit
Nine items ship in one carton: the drum auger itself, six hand tools that finish what the cable starts, and two items that protect the operator. Each one earns its place in the box for a specific reason.
Item | Qty | What it does on site |
|---|---|---|
Drum drain auger, manual and drill | 1 | Feeds the cable through 20 to 50 mm waste lines. Hand crank for tight cabinets, drill chuck for long horizontal runs. |
Retrieving pick-up tool | 1 | Hooks solid blockages the cable pushes past: wipes, sanitary products, hair balls that flatten instead of gripping. |
Grabber hooks, flexible shaft | 3 | Reach around P-traps and branch fittings where a straight cable cannot turn. Three because they are the item customers lose first. |
Nylon cleaning brushes | 2 | Scrub the pipe wall after the blockage clears, removing the grease film that causes repeat callbacks. |
Latex gloves | 1 pair | Disposable, so there is no laundry cost after a black-water job. |
Safety goggles | 1 | Needed when working overhead or when drain chemicals are already in the line. |
Drawstring storage bag | 1 | Keeps the cable coiled and the small parts together in the van. |
Instruction sheet | 1 | Diagrams the two feed modes and the cable lock release. |
Why the grabbers matter more than the auger
A cable clears the open bore of a pipe. It does not retrieve a solid object. When a plug of wipes or a sanitary product sits in a 40 mm branch, the cable pushes past it, the water still stands, and the buyer calls it a failed tool. The grabber is the part that turns a partial clearance into a finished job.
Three ship in the box for the same reason: the barbs straighten after a few heavy pulls, and a kit that arrives with only one leaves the customer short on the second callout.
Which accessories actually cut returns
Ranked by how often they decide whether a job succeeds:
- Pick-up tool and grabbers, because without them solid blockages stay in the pipe.
- Brushes, because without them grease regrows within weeks and the customer blames the auger.
- Instruction sheet, because most damage to a drum auger comes from releasing the cable lock under tension.
- Goggles and gloves, which are not a performance item but a compliance item for contractors on commercial sites.
Cable lengths and what each one is for
The auger is offered in five lengths. Length should follow the run you actually service, not the largest number available, because a 15 m cable in a 6 m line is harder to control and slows the operator down.
Length | Typical use |
|---|---|
6 m | Sinks, basins, baths, short branch lines |
7.6 m | 2 to 3 inch waste stacks in single-family housing |
10 m | Longer horizontal runs, ground-floor kitchens |
13 m | Small commercial kitchens, multi-storey risers |
15 m | Main lines, long restaurant drains |
Freight is driven by volume, not weight
A coiled drum auger is bulky relative to its weight, so ocean freight is priced on cubic metres rather than kilograms. Moving from 6 m to 15 m changes the coil diameter and the carton size far more than it changes the gross weight. If you are building a mixed container, load the short lengths as the volume filler and the long lengths as the high-value line.
Two feed modes, one body
The drum takes a hand crank for close work under a sink, and a drill chuck adapter for long runs where turning by hand is impractical. The changeover is a fitting swap, not a second tool.
We list the two modes as one SKU because buyers who service both domestic and light commercial lines need both, and splitting them creates two partial tools on the van. See the manual versus drill-powered buying guide for the trade-off in detail.
Colour, logo and packaging options
Option | What you can specify |
|---|---|
Body colour | Orange and black as standard, other colours on request |
Logo | Pad print on the drum, or laser mark on the handle |
Inner box | Printed retail box, plain box, or none for bulk |
Outer carton | Printed carton with your marks, drop-test label on request |
Storage bag | Plain or printed drawstring bag |
Cable length mix | Any of the five lengths, mixed within one order |
What customisation does not change
The tooling, the cable and the feed mechanism stay the same across all colours and logos. Colour and print are the outer layer and do not alter performance, which is why a custom run can be quoted without re-engineering.
Selling this kit by channel
Retail and e-commerce
The kit photographs as one product and answers the "what else do I need" question before it is asked. The goggles and gloves make it legible to a homeowner buyer who has never used a drain machine.
Distributors and wholesalers
Six small parts in one carton removes six separate SKUs from the warehouse and six lines from the pick list. The length range lets one distributor cover domestic service and light commercial without a second supplier.
Promotional and private label
The storage bag and the inner box carry the brand. For a promotional run, a plain box and a single-colour print keeps cost down while the bag still carries the identity at the point of use.
What to send with an enquiry
- Cable length or lengths, and whether you want a single length or a mix.
- Body colour and logo artwork, with the print position.
- Packaging level: bulk carton, plain box, or printed retail box.
- Target market, because retail packaging requirements differ by country.
- Order quantity per length, so freight can be quoted per cubic metre rather than per unit.
Send the five points above and you get a specification sheet and a carton plan back on the first reply.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is in the nine-piece kit?
One drum drain auger with manual crank and drill adapter, one retrieving pick-up tool, three grabber hooks, two nylon cleaning brushes, one pair of latex gloves, one pair of safety goggles, one drawstring storage bag and one instruction sheet.
Can I order the auger without the accessories?
Yes. The bare auger is listed separately. The kit exists for buyers who want one carton and one SKU.
Which cable length should I stock first?
7.6 m and 10 m cover most domestic service work. 15 m is worth adding if your customers include restaurants or multi-storey buildings. Stocking only the longest length raises the unit cost and slows the operator on short lines. The drain auger cable size chart gives the full breakdown by pipe diameter.
Is the cable suitable for a toilet?
No. A drum auger with an open coil is for branch lines up to about 50 mm. Toilets need a toilet auger with a vinyl guard, which is a different product.
Can the colour and logo be changed?
Yes. Colour and logo are outer-layer changes and do not affect the tooling or the mechanism. Send artwork and the print position with the enquiry.
Do the accessories come in the same carton as the auger?
Yes. The kit ships as one carton with the small parts bagged inside. Outer carton marks can carry your brand.
