been looking or a drain machine to buy. Never done more than 2" drains with my handheld ridgid- 5/16 cable X 35 ft, and my old bosses 3/8X100ft cable on his small machine.
I needed a machine that can do 3-4" lines / can handle most residential sewers. Was looking for a ridgid, Spartan, or gorlitz, but ran into a guy selling a used speedway 4500 series machine, with a 1/2" X 75ft cable, for $250.
I looked it up and can tell it's a lower end machine, but at 75% off, and considering it's my 1st machine, AND that I don't use it all that much, I think it was a great deal. Plugged it in, it seems to work great.
One thing, since i just bought today I haven't really messed with it too much......how does the auto feed work? What's the two levers for, it looks like one clamps the cable and drives it forward when spinning, buy what's the other with the black knob for?
I'm sure I'd figure it out, but I figure I'd ask.
Thanks
