FAQs
What type of drill do I need?
You need a standard electric or air-powered drill with a forward rotation setting. The drill should have a chuck capable of securing the hex adapter.
How do I attach the auger to the drill?
The auger features an integrated hex adapter that simply slots into your drill's chuck. Tighten the chuck securely around the adapter.
Can this be used on all types of pipes?
It is suitable for most household plumbing like sinks, baths, toilets, and showers. Exercise caution with very old or fragile pipes, and avoid excessive force.
What is the purpose of the safety clutch?
The safety clutch is designed to disengage the rotating coil if it becomes snagged or jams, preventing damage to the auger, the drill, and your plumbing system.
How far into the pipe can the auger reach?
The flexible steel wire coil is 7 meters (approximately 23 feet) long, allowing it to reach deep into most standard household drain systems.
What should I do if the auger gets stuck?
Immediately stop the drill and try to gently pull the auger back. If it remains stuck, you may need to try reversing the drill's rotation slightly. If it continues to be jammed, cease use and consider professional assistance.
Is the drill included with the Dekton Drain Auger?
No, the electric or air-powered drill is not included with the Dekton Drain Auger Unblocker. You will need to provide your own compatible drill.
Troubleshooting
Auger is not rotating or spinning effectively.
Ensure the drill is set to forward rotation. Check that the hex adapter is securely tightened in the drill chuck. Verify the drill has sufficient power.
Coil gets stuck or jammed in the pipe.
Immediately stop the drill. Attempt to slowly pull the coil back out. If it remains stuck, try reversing the drill's rotation briefly. If still jammed, the safety clutch may have engaged; disengage the drill and try to free the coil manually or consider it may be a severe blockage requiring professional attention.
Blockage is not cleared after use.
The blockage may be too severe or too far into the system for the auger. Ensure the coil was extended sufficiently to reach the obstruction. Consider using a drain cleaner or contacting a professional plumber.
Drill chuck does not fit the hex adapter.
Confirm you are using the correct hex adapter (standard size). Ensure your drill's chuck is fully opened to accept the adapter. If the adapter is damaged, it may need replacement.
Pros and Cons

The 7-meter length allows access to deeper and more complex pipe systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your drill is set to a forward rotation (clockwise).
Insert the hex adapter into your drill's chuck and tighten securely.
Feed the steel wire coil into the drain opening.
Engage the drill at a low speed initially, gradually increasing as needed, while gently pushing the coil forward.
Compatibility:
Compatible with most standard electric or air-powered drills with a chuck that can accommodate the hex adapter. Ensure your drill has a forward rotation setting.
Care:
After each use, thoroughly clean the steel wire coil with water to remove any debris.
Dry the coil completely before storing to prevent rust.
Store in a dry place.
Periodically check the plastic tubing for any signs of damage.
