GENERAL PIPE CLEANERS 6′ TELETUBE FLEXICORE CLOSET AUGER WITH DOWN HEAD MAKES CONVENTIONAL SIX FOOT AUGERS OBSOLETE, BECAUSE IT HAS THREE FEET TELESCOPED INTO A GUIDE TUBE UNTIL YOU NEED IT. AFTER YOU’VE WORKED THE FIRST THREE FEET INTO A BOWL, YOU CAN GO THREE FEET FARTHER SIMPLY BY PRESSING A BUTTON AND PULLING THE CRANK HANDLE. OUTER TUBE IS A BIG 1-1/8″ IN DIAMETER; GUIDE TUBE IS EVEN TOUGHER THAN THE STEEL ROD WE USE IN OUR 3FL CLOSET AUGERS. TELETUBE WEIGHS JUST A LITTLE MORE THAN A 3FL. OTHER FEATURES INCLUDE VINYL BOWL GUARD, VINYL GRIP HANDLE, DIE CAST ALUMINUM TURNING HANDLE, AND “GRIP CLIP” FOR ATTACHING CABLE.
