Users can quickly eliminate blockages in toilets and urinals with the RIDGID K-6P and K-6P XL Toilet Augers. Ideal for plumbing contractors, drain cleaning specialists, service plumbers and maintenance professionals, each auger can be used manually or be connected to a battery-powered drill for extra obstruction-busting muscle.

Both the K-6P and K-6P XL toilet augers have a quick-lock adjustment feature to extend the cable initially to three feet for toilet bowl clearing, and then to six feet to clear beyond the bowl. Zinc-plated steel tubing resists rust and corrosion, while heavy-duty tri-wrap cable is engineered to provide optimum strength and durability. The robust vinyl cover provides protection for toilet porcelain.

Battery-powered drills with a maximum 500 RPM can be used with each auger for tough blockages.

In addition, the K-6P XL comes with two interchangeable heads for extra-demanding jobs. The Bulb Auger head is designed for maximum flexibility, allowing you to navigate tight bends to explore and break up blockages. The heavy-duty C-Cutter head is optimized for cutting and scraping to eliminate hard blockages. The K-6P XL also comes with a storage bag for clean transportation.

Rob Dulabon, RIDGID product manager, commented:

At RIDGID, we’re continuously looking for new ways to enhance our tools to make them more efficient and ergonomic. Our new augers combine power, protection and performance to bring ease to clearing toilets without putting stress on the user.

Both toilet augers come with the RIDGID Full Lifetime Warranty.
