Detailed Description

The RIDGID K-7500 Drum Machine is the ultimate professional drain cleaning solution for plumbing and maintenance contractors who demand performance and dependability. Engineered to tackle 3″ to 10″ (75–250 mm) drain lines, it combines power and maneuverability in a rugged, compact design. Whether dealing with tree roots, grease buildup, or heavy obstructions, the K-7500’s 4/10 HP motor provides quiet yet forceful torque for consistent cleaning performance.

Built for long-term use, the K-7500 features non-rusting, corrosion-resistant drums that clean easily after every use. Its ball-bearing distributor arm and inner drum design help prevent cable flip-over — a common issue in lesser machines — keeping the operator in control at all times. The durable gearbox and motor assembly are precision-aligned for balance and smooth operation even under heavy loads.

At the heart of the system is the AUTOFEED® cable mechanism, which advances and retrieves cable automatically at up to 22 feet per minute. This system allows users to maintain focus on the obstruction while minimizing manual handling, improving safety and productivity. The open AUTOFEED® design also includes grease fittings for simple, ongoing maintenance.

Portability and ergonomics are equally prioritized. The two-position stair climber and adjustable handle system make transport effortless between job sites, while the narrow profile ensures the machine passes easily through standard interior doors. These features, combined with rugged construction, make the K-7500 a top performer for commercial and industrial drain cleaning professionals.

In summary, the RIDGID K-7500 Drum Machine provides the professional-grade power, precision, and durability needed for challenging drain cleaning tasks. The key benefit is its ability to deliver maximum torque with minimal mess and maintenance, backed by RIDGID’s reputation for excellence.
