The brushless DC motor in the K-46 offers more power and reliability, allowing professionals to tackle stubborn clogs without the hassle of managing cords.

One of the standouts features of the K-46 (RD78048) is its 360-degree rotatable AUTOFEED system, which allows the user to easily advance and retrieve the cable in both forward and reverse directions. This feature is crucial when navigating tight pipe bends and P-traps, a common challenge for plumbers.

Its versatility is further enhanced by the tool’s compatibility with other cable diameters—1/4” and 3/8”—allowing it to tackle a variety of plumbing jobs with ease.

The K-46 is not only powerful, but it is also incredibly easy to use. Its ergonomic design ensures comfort even during extended use. The integrated, multi-position kickstand helps relieve the tool’s weight, making it easier to work in cramped spaces like under sinks and inside tubs. The fully enclosed rotating drum protects your plumbing fixtures from accidental damage, while the top-mounted LED light ensures optimal visibility in dark work areas, such as under sink vanities. These features make the K-46 a breeze to operate, even in the most challenging environments.

This tool is designed for a wide range of applications, especially in residential plumbing. It’s perfect for plumbers who regularly deal with clogged sinks, tubs, showers, and urinals, as well as those working in commercial settings where large numbers of drain lines need regular maintenance.

Compared to past models, the K-46 (RD78048) offers several key updates. The most significant improvements are in the power source, ergonomic design, and the AUTOFEED system. Older models like the K-400 required more manual effort when feeding and retrieving the cable, whereas the K-46’s 360-degree rotatable AUTOFEED makes this process significantly smoother and more precise. Additionally, the brushless motor in the K-46 provides more power, allowing it to clear tougher blockages.

The K-46 also comes with a Cable Lock feature, which enhances cable handling, allowing plumbers to manually fight tough blockages when necessary. These features, combined with the tool’s compatibility with different cable sizes and various cable tools like dropheads and C-cutter augers, make the K-46 an essential tool for modern plumbing needs.
