I Finally Got My M18 Milwaukee Snake Back

I put a new cable in my Milwaukee m18 snake and compare cable sizes with the ryobi.

I put the machine into reverse and give a light spin when installing cables. Then push in by hand without power. I never use power feed, that always kinks cables. Better feel by hand using lock open. Owned machine since 2017, used weekly.

I have the m18 and the action to feed gives me problems a lot too but the snake does work most of the time I am sure I have worn it down a bit and twisted it wrong a few times but its easy to do. Keep the videos coming!

I like both snakes. That Ryobi has impressed me, I would certainly consider that tool if I was looking to buy a cordless snake.

You need to put a bend about 10-12 inches back from the end of the cable when you start to feed it into the drum. That helps. Plus it helps to know when you get to the end of your cable when you’re shaking a drain so you don’t pull it all the way out. You’ll feel that bend and know you’re close to running out of cable

Take off the front to install cable correctly. Milwaukee snake is killer compared to the Ryobi. Ive been plumbing a long time...ask any questions you need. I dig yr channel.

Also...its better to feed the cable by hand instead of auto feed function. You can get a better feel for it after some practice.

You should have left that 50ft cable zip tied and stuck it in oil. Wait until the oil dried a little and inserted

Glad to see you finially got a cargo van lol, was driving me crazy how crammed you were in the truck. Looks like its not enough space though, should of got a bread van like steve L lol

You need to replace plastic collet kits red the black because they wear out and cable slips

[markhill]

1, 4 to 1/2 bend at end to start it in, then throw cable on ground

[jamesskinner-jp]

Have you ever had the cover off the drum? There should be a correct direction to coil the cable back in.

[greggfritz]

The cable goes in much easier if you put a little bend on it

[edwinvasquezp]

I heard spartan cable is better, gonna replace my cable soon. Little more pricey but durable.

I just saw this video, and i was wondering how long did it take for your snake to get fixed.

[parodoxicalization]

Can this m18 clear a main sewer line clog!

[pit]

think you need a bigger truck, usually people covert vans into campers you should get a camper and convert into a tool buggy 😂

I don't buy ryobi anything after I had a planer literally break mid job then read the warranty how to claim on their website and I was like f that.

I think the parts are made of lead and plastic
