• Swivel Bullet Pull Out Tool — swivel bullet design for pulling sewer rods while maintaining alignment with the rod line inside pipelines
• Round Stock Corkscrew — corkscrew edge shaped to penetrate debris and create an opening for other sewer cleaning tools to enter the line
• Double Round Stock Corkscrew — dual prong corkscrew for strong gripping when retrieving debris, roots, or objects from sewer pipelines
• Square Bar Corkscrew — square bar design for penetrating and engaging debris or roots inside sewer pipelines and retrieving debris during cleaning operations
• Sand Corkscrew — corkscrew design for manual turning during sewer line cleaning operations
• Sand Leader — opening tool that prepares the sewer line for additional cleaning tools such as augers, corkscrews, and spear heads
• Auger — 1/2" sharpened cutting edges for cutting through debris and obstructions and allowing water flow to bypass blockages

Specialty Sewer Rod Tools
