Milwaukee Tool 48-22-5760 Drain Auger 25 Ft Bulb Head

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-22-5760 is a closet drain auger designed for clearing blockages in residential drain lines. The unit uses a 25-foot bulb-head cable measuring 1/4 inch in diameter, housed in an enclosed drum for mess containment during use. It is compatible with pipe sizes from 1/2 inch up to 2 inches and is suited for sinks, bathtubs, and showers. The enclosed drum design limits cable exposure and reduces contact with drain debris. Plumbers and drain service technicians use this tool for routine service calls on light to medium residential drain stoppages.

This auger is intended for use on smaller-diameter residential drain lines. Typical applications include bathroom sink drains, bathtub drains, and shower drains where pipe diameters fall within the 1/2-inch to 2-inch range. The dual-grip handle offers both in-line and offset holding positions, allowing the technician to adapt to tight under-sink spaces or floor-level access points. The quick-switch cable lock secures the cable at the desired feed length without requiring additional tools.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by licensed plumbers or experienced drain service technicians. Before feeding the cable, shut off the water supply to the fixture and remove any drain strainers or stoppers to allow unobstructed cable passage. Feed the cable slowly and avoid forcing it through sharp bends to prevent kinking. Retrieve and clean the cable inside the drum or over a utility bucket to limit contact with drain waste.
