Yet another diy numptie

[Guest123]

The following was posted on Rated People. A prime example of someone penny pinching and it costing more to fix in the long run! Love to know how a jet is supposed to move a 4 inch core cutter stuck inside a 4 inch soil pipe!

"While core cutting the waist pipe in a bathroom to make a new connection the core cutter fell down the 4 inch waist pipe. I can meet you at the job and give you easy access with your jetting equipment. the bathroom is allocated on ground level. you will need approximately 15-20 meters length of hose".

it beggars belief. you're right col it will need more than a jetter lol.

I'm struggling to see how he managed to drop the cutter. Surely it would have been clamped in the drill chuck?

In theory yes masood but I've been unfortunate enough to happen to me though though mine was on boss size hole cutter

 

[Destroyer2813]

But why is he cutting a 4 inch hole in a stack ?

 

[Guest123]

Who knows what he was trying to do, but in attempting to save money by doing it himself, he's now got a large bill from a drain jetting company. No sympathy from me.

I've done it too 😀 Those stupid bloody chucks on cordless drills that loosen after a few revolutions, lost the bit and arbor when drilling a hole for a strap on boss! Phoned the boss to tell him and he just told me to keep flushing the toilet and hope it gets taken into the main sewer!!

Blimey! I'll keep more of an eye on that chuck in future!!!
