The RIDGID 55808 PowerClear drain cleaning machine clears tubs, showers, and sink clogs with AUTOFEED technology and a 30-foot inner core cable.
Categories : Tools & Hardware
SKU : WOR-TOO-419
The RIDGID 55808 PowerClear is a compact 120V drain cleaning machine that tackles stubborn clogs in 3/4-inch to 1.5-inch drain lines. Its 450 RPM motor drives a 30-foot heavy-duty inner core cable through blockages, while the unique AUTOFEED system feeds and retrieves the cable without touching it — keeping hands clean and safe.
The included 30-foot cable is enough for most residential and light commercial jobs, letting you clean out P-traps and vertical drops in tubs and shower drains. The 2-piece guide hose attachment keeps the work area clean and gives you better control over the cable near the drain.
If your cable gets stuck inside the line, that's usually a sign of a tough obstruction. To release it, manually pull the cable back a few inches, then let the AUTOFEED re-engage. For AUTOFEED repair, check the cable for kinks and ensure the feed rollers and track are free of debris. Regular cleaning and lubrication of the cable will keep the system running smoothly.

The RIDGID 55808 is a professional-grade tool, but it's approachable for DIYers too. To avoid cable jams, always keep the cable straight as it enters the guide hose and let the AUTOFEED do the work — don't push. For clogs in P-traps, use the shorter guide hose for better control.
Disengage the AUTOFeed, pull the cable back a few inches, then re-engage to work through the clog. If it still jams, manually rotate the cable to dislodge the obstruction.
Common issues are caused by debris or kinks in the cable. Clean the feed rollers and track, straighten the cable, and check the cable for damage. Replace if necessary.
It's designed for 3/4-inch to 1.5-inch diameter drain lines, making it ideal for tubs, showers, and sinks.
At 25 lbs, it's portable and the handle and compact design make it easy to carry to the job site.








Cleared my clog.
This machine is powerful and the autofeed works well. It saved me a plumber bill.
I've used a lot of drain snakes in my rentals. The PowerClear is by far the easiest. The autofeed automatically pushes the cable, so you don't have to wrestle with it. It cleared a stubborn tub clog in minutes. The 30-foot cable is plenty. The machine is a bit heavy, but it has wheels. It's well worth the price for a landlord.
Rented one before, decided to buy. Works great on sink clogs.
Very effective.
I'm not a plumber, but I've used this to clear my kitchen sink and shower. The autofeed is intuitive. It didn't damage my pipes. The cable is sturdy. Cleanup is a bit messy, but that's expected. It paid for itself already. Highly recommend.
This is a well-made tool. I couldn't have cleared my main drain without it.
Good investment.
I've had this for a year now and used it on multiple jobs. It's reliable. The autofeed rarely jams. The cable is long enough for most household clogs. The wheels make it easy to move. The only issue is the switch could be more ergonomic. Other than that, it's a beast. Very happy.
