WHAT MAKES IT BETTER THAN A DRILL MACHINE?
Many manufacturers make drill style machines simply because drill motors and housings are readily available. In general, drill machines require a clutch and force feed the cable into the drain without the operator’s hands on the cable. This is the formula for disaster especially with inexperienced users. The drills usually work best at 200-300 R.P.M. which is much too fast plus the customer must carry them during the entire operation — no thanks! Force Feed, Excessive R.P.M., Hands Off Operation, No Cable Sleeve, are the reasons so many people kink their snakes while using drill style machines. Because the Sureflow has its own gear box connected to the motor, the drive belts do not need to be exposed in order to achieve gear reduction. Many competitive products use exposed drive belts which extend all the way around the outside of the cable drum and are very dangerous. They design machines this way in order to achieve gear reduction without going to the expense of creating a gear box
