Reviews for the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Cordless Drain Cleaning Sewer Sectional Machine Kit with 7/8" Cable and Attachments - 2818A-21

This product worked awesome! I loved how easy it was to carry in and out of the job. IT was extremely lightweight and could carry the product in alone. I was really surprised with the Run Time it had how many jobs Could get to on one Charge. I got to try the unit out before it can out on the market but I'm definitely going to be purchasing one and usually only buy drum machines but this is so small, compact, and light weight its easy to store on my Van!

This machine is Beast in a small foot print, not to heavy at all, I could do 4 jobs on 1 full charge, I have over 50 sewer cleaning jobs under this machine. From Roots to wipes and grease jobs , no problem it gets it done!

12.0 battery that came with M18 rodder only lasted one job running 120 feet of 7/8” cable out and retrieved from sewer line with no clog. Just verifying lateral was clear. Machine worked well , the battery is a concern if one job per charge is the normal.

Works great and almost half the weight of comparable electric units. For light users, one battery is sufficient but if you do multiple jobs per day you want to buy an extra 12.0 ah battery. A smaller 5.0 or 6.0 will get you out of a pinch but the draw on this machine will eat small batteries up pretty quick. I have only been using this machine for just under 2 months now and so far has met expectations. Other manufacturers electric machines (name left out intentionally so as not to knock the competition) we’re my go to unit for snaking drains. Carrying that one in multiple times per day, you can really feel the weight and constant repair to jaws. Now as I said, only a couple months in but I’m eager to see how this clutch/jaw will hold up and what will be required for a service or replacement.

Excellent machine, Great Power, I have used multiple machines in the past, this machine is lighter, easier to carry and being cordless is one less thing to worry about, especially if you are working from a rooftop.

Ive only used it once so far, but the build quality is excellent and it is much lighter than the Ridgid K60 that we use at work. One thing that kind of upset me was the fact that Milwaukees sewer cables have their own unique pin size that holds their cables and cleaning heads together. The pin is very small and it worries me that it could snap off easier. Its also a way to ensure that if you have their cables, you need to use their cleaning heads and vice versa. Its a proprietary thing. But if you already have your own cables and heads Im sure it would work with the machine just fine. 7/8" is 7/8", that cant change. And Im sure their cables are engineered to be as strong as Ridgids or anyone elses. I just worry sometimes about things like that. Milwaukee gave me a sweet promo with my purchase of the sectional machine, a 12amp hour battery and a 3000 lumen flood light. Its the brightest light Ive seen yet. Both items are well over 600 bucks after taxes, in Canada. The cable carrier looks nice, but its very loud when you take cables out and put them back in. Its also hard to see where you left the cable ends. I spent too much reaching around in the dark trying to get it. I will most likely buy a regular cable reel eventually. But overall it is a fantastic machine and it looks sweet. 5/5 for the machine itself.

This sectional machine is great. I like that the machine is not too heavy and has power. Used it on 3 jobs so far and battery still has plenty of juice. Very happy with my purchase.
