Description

The RIDGID K-46 Cordless SinkSnake™ (78088) is a powerful and versatile cordless drain cleaning machine designed for clearing tough blockages in ¾″ to 3″ (20–76mm) drain lines. Ideal for professional plumbers and maintenance engineers, it easily tackles clogs in sinks, baths, showers, and urinals with reliable cordless performance.

Powered by the RIDGID 18V Advanced Lithium Battery Platform, the K-46 delivers the mobility and runtime required for demanding daily work without the limitations of mains power. Its brushless DC motor provides strong, consistent torque to break through grease, sludge, and debris while maintaining efficiency and durability.

Engineered for comfort and control, the machine features a multi-position kickstand that supports the tool in tight working environments such as under sinks or inside bath tubs. The 360° rotatable AUTOFEED® system automatically advances and retracts the cable in both forward and reverse directions, helping navigate tight bends, traps, and difficult pipe runs.

The K-46 comes fitted with a 5/16″ x 25′ (8mm x 7.6m) Inner Core cable, but it is also compatible with 1/4″ and 3/8″ cables up to 50ft (15.2m), giving professionals the flexibility to handle a wide range of residential and light commercial drain cleaning tasks.

With an enclosed rotating drum to protect fixtures and a top-mounted LED work light for improved visibility, the RIDGID K-46 is designed to deliver efficient, safe and professional drain cleaning performance.
