Auger Machines for Powerful Drain Clearing


Need to unclog a pipe? If you’ve already tried using a plunger or chemical drain opener and haven’t had success, you may need to use a drain auger. An auger machine uses motors to direct wire cable down your sink, tub or shower drain to clear obstructions. Lowe’s carries a wide variety of manual and electric augers to help you clear drains with ease.


Use an auger machine, also called a plumbing auger or an electric auger, when drain cleaners and plungers aren’t effective. You’ll find features such as four-piece cutter sets and hands-free motors that you can turn on and off with a foot pedal, which can be especially convenient when working with both hands. Additional options can include removable drums, variable-speed triggers and LED lights with adjustable brightness modes.


When researching augers, you may also come across plumbing snakes. These tools essentially operate in the same way, but drain snakes are used to clear small lines up to 2 inches in diameter, whereas drain augers are used to clear large lines up to 3 inches in diameter. Snakes, including manual and electric snakes, are ideal for clearing small drains, such as those found in bathtubs and sinks. If you need to clear a toilet obstruction, opt for a toilet auger. This specific type of auger tool is a heavier-duty option compared to a drain snake.


Machine augers contain wire cables, with steel cores for strength and durability, that come in lengths of up to dozens of feet for superior reach. Discover everything you need to clean and maintain your drains in our Drain Cleaner and Drain Opener Buying Guide.
