Three-prong claw for drain cleaning cable with 1/2" WW thread

The three-pronged claw is a drain cable tool for removing drain blockages. The three prongs can drill out blockages, but can also hook in roots and other foreign objects such as textiles, rags and wet wipes. These can then be pulled out of the pipe

The three-prong claw is available with diameters of 30mm, 40mm and 50mm. The 30mm version is usually used with the 10mm drain cleaning cable, the 40mm version with the 12mm drain cleaning cable and the 50mm version with the 15mm drain cable. Since the claws all have the 1/2" WW thread, they can be interchanged. For the curve mobility the 30mm three-pronged claw should be used for pipes from 70mm, the 40mm or 50mm three-pronged claws for pipes from 100mm.

To release and change the tool from the drain cable, it is best to clamp the drain cable in a vice. The tool can then be unscrewed counterclockwise using an Allen key. The new tool must be screwed tightly clockwise accordingly.
