The Flexible Shaft Carrier is designed to easily carry and store your flexible drain cleaning shaft.

Description

Your flexible shaft carrier is designed to allow you to carry your shaft through client premises without the risk of leaking dirt, grease, or debris onto carpets or floors.

When operating your flexible shaft, try to get as much of the shaft unraveled as possible. A tightly wound shaft is less efficient than one with a wider coil. This is because the shaft presses against the sleeve when it is tightly wound. Even a well-lubricated shaft will create some pressure against the sleeve, and with every loop, performance is reduced.

We recommend straightening your shaft as much as possible when working. This provides maximum torque and helps extend the lifespan of your shaft.

It is made from lightweight industrial-grade plastic, so you do not need wheels to move your equipment around. Removing and replacing the cable is easier than carefully rolling it up to prevent it from folding over itself. It has a shaft exit for both left- and right-handed users, as well as a washer to keep the drill end of the shaft in place.

We have also created a heavy-duty dual shaft carrier, which is available here.

  • Material: Industrial-grade lightweight plastic
  • Capacity:
    • 30m (98ft) of 6mm (¼”) shaft
    • 30m (98ft) of 8mm (5/16”) shaft
    • 20m (65ft) of 10mm (⅜”) shaft
    • 15m (49ft) of 12mm (½”) shaft

We do not recommend using the shaft while it is still in the carrier.

An unwound shaft performs much more efficiently than a coiled one. When operating, your shaft should be unwound to at least a 1m (3ft) diameter, which is the natural coil size where friction and heat buildup are minimized. Otherwise, friction and heat buildup between the shaft and the sleeve will significantly reduce the shaft's performance and lifespan.


One tip that really helps when managing the shaft is to always step on the coil while working. It keeps the shaft under control and prevents it from flopping around. It really makes a big difference.
