"Drain Auger Value"
"Ordered this drain auger to clear concrete that spilled into my new shop drain during the foundation pour. I knew this would be challenging, however this auger is up to the challenge. I drilled over 15hrs over a 2 week period to remove approx. 6-8 inches of concrete & sludge that completely blocked my 3inch drain. This saved me over $1500.00 dollars which was the estimate for cutting an 18” square in my foundation to remove the clogged drain & trap. The machine arrived early, was priced cheaper than a 3day rental unit and I will use it on my rental properties going forward vs repeated plumber service calls. The tools that were included, the tool box attached to the unit & the longer, heavy duty auger cable were a bonus. Lastly, the foot activated, remote safety switch made this a one person job and ensured 100% protection from electrical shock."

"Best holesaws available Northern best price and super fast shipping"
"Bought this awesome holesaw kit about a month ago.I would urge anyone that needs a hole saw kit to seriously consider this a must have. Comes with everything needed including chuck, 2 center drill bits, sharpening stone and fantastic plastic case with small footprint. Very fast cutting and wood plug just falls out when finished cutting. Compared to old school hole saws a huge step up in speed and longevity. Superior design. Used mostly for proper hole drilling for pvc pipe penetrations through joists and floors. Perfect kit for plumbers to cover 1 1/2- 4" pvc pipe. Northern had it to my house in 2 days. Talk about speedy shipping, wow the best."

"Makes things easy"
"I’m a plumber and use this in the field to pump up test balls and test inwall systems. So much better that lugging around a huge compressor on a dirty job site. Has no problem pumping up gang bathrooms or 24” test balls. This will definitely be in my arsenal for a long time."
