Bloody great video, mate!!!! :). So glad you just had to replace the battery!!!! Yay!!! Awesome job and awesome video as always!!

[@woswasdenni1914]

the battery wont explode like a bomb but rather burn really hot and long. so if you do this better do it on a large opening on concrete. that said why would you have your exhaust in your car. let someone make you an exhaust pipe outside and insulate that pipe so if something touches it your car aint burning down

[@neuralwarp]

MATE! Too much music!

Reminds me of poor Drain Addict when he got his new setup put in the van, used it once then it wouldn't turn on anymore. He forgot to reset the engine kill switch. Happens to the best of them Bruce.

Good evening Bruce , got my feet up, snacks and drinks ready, let’s go. Lol😂❤👍🏻

[@JD-rq3ur]

Talk about some bloody ASMR on this one! And I never thought in a million years I would be staring at a drain cleaning so intensely for so long that I became absolutely mesmerized. Bruce has been using some hypnotization tactics on us that little rippa!

[@REWYRED]

Maybe it's just me but ever since people started going to "water saver" and "low flow" taps and fixtures it seems there is an increase of pipes getting absolutely coated and plugged up with grease and soap scum from not enough water to dilute and flush things to the main sewer. That being said, it makes you wonder what we put in our own bodies right? We need to then flush that out then and the fluid of choice for me? Cold frothies🍻 Nice save with your grinder mate! It wasnt at all a bad thing.. Bigger battery is always better!

[@DrainCleaningAUSTRALIA]

@rewyred 100% agree with you brother!!

[@PuchiPool]

one year late, but: definitly possible. Even towns and counties face problems with water saving and the sewer system blocking, or other issues, because there's not enough water to wash away everything properly

[@KouuToriProductions]

​@@PuchiPool kinda like those waterless urinals. They always clog up because there's literally nothing to keep them flowing. Oh, and they stink BAD, so even worse.

[@chrisforgan731]

yes the latest systems are fine with low flow made to handle it. but the old legacy systems are not. sewers mains used to be egg shaped to adjust to flow conditions but they were difficult to make so they stopped doing that way. some of the new systems are actually vacuum not gravity.

[@Taillighttim26]

I've noticed that there are different toilet drain types some work better than others I'm an HVAC Technician and have seen some of them work great in certain areas but some are more prone to clog than others

[@mradford10]

Mate there’s nothing better than a bit of bathroom surgery out on the side of the road with a hammer… only to be followed up by an unboxing video in the car park. Bloody genius mate! I can’t believe the Honda cooked it though… however anything is possible as the old batteries are a bit on the temperamental side of life when it comes to sitting right next to an exhaust. But on the bright side, you didn’t burn down the van and that’s an amazing bonus! So well done all round you little bloody ripper!

[@josephcote6120]

A year late, but I'm I've just discovered the channel. I hate breaking/losing good tools too, thumbs up that it was only the battery cooked.

Been watching your videos for a while now, but never commented! Australian drains aren’t that exciting as they’re all enclosed, but you yourself make the videos worth watching! The UK drain set up lays it all bare as soon as you lift the manhole… much more viewer friendly than a stack. Keep up the good work you lil ripper and have a froth dog this weekend!

Great job !!!!! Milwaukee should send you some free tools after that. Being able to knock the old melted battery off with a hammer pop in a new battery and it still works, great advertising.

We had a secretary at our office and we would go to her father's house to snake out the main drain every year cuz it was full of grease and every year we told the gentleman what was wrong and I went back and seen the secretary and she's like. Did you figure out what the problem was? I said yeah the line was full of grease and she said well it couldn't be. They don't pour grease down the drain I'm like Oh you know what I think it was the people living upstairs and she looked at me and said but nobody else lives in the house and I said exactly so it can only be coming from one place and it's coming from the people that live there for 25 years lol. Great video Bruce. Keep it up brother and I hope you have yourself a great day.

[@deborahallen9213]

Great job Bruce you always get the job done keep up the good work

[@januzi2]

Yeah. You might want to use the paper towel on everything that's greasy before you'd put it into the dishwasher or sink. In the long run, the towel (and the garbage disposal services) will be a little bit cheaper than the drain cleaning (especially when it is clogged somewhere where high pressure devices, or the rotating chain thingy, can't reach). Regular oil (like olive oil) shouldn't turn into the solid "brick", but butter, margarine or any other sort of the grease that's solid before it gets heated up, is a primary target to get removed from the frying pan. Soap can take grease apart, but only 90% or so. This means if you put 100kg of grease into the sink with soap or other detergent, 10kg will still go down the pipes.

[@AndreasMadsen]

Other than burning your tools (😢) does the Jetta heat the incoming water? From the steam it looked like the water was warm

We don't have drains like that in Canada. Probably because they would freeze solid in the winter. -30 Celsius will do that.

[@billrook6165]

Bruce, turn your engine exhaust tip to point toward your van's door opening. Never leave it pointing toward the floor. Doing so could start a fire.

Looks like your going to need to get yourself a new Milwaukee side grinder there Bruce, sorry to see that the other one had a bit of catastrophic end to it... Other than that, this was another great video, and keep up the good work there.

[@porker5749]

So maybe the Aussie plumbers can help me out here. How does jetting towards the kitchen sink not result in completely covering the kitchen with the grease etc. that was blocking the drain, when the blockage is totally cleared? Also in Canada our plumbing systems are very much different. All sewer drains go into the floor of the house's basement and there is a no other access to them. There is a clean out point on the vertical drop, but that is it, and it's not a common problem to plug up that sewer drain. We also have a totally separate sewer for storm water run off that down spouts from eaves troughs and also yard drains tie into. So seeing all these "inspection points and gully's" is really strange to me.

[@jasonviande5053]

Sounds like you have the same system as I (US ) have. Personally I like the Aussie system better, if nothing but for all the access and IO ports. I imagine the life of a plumber is much nicer (meaning more interesting) down under

[@porker5749]

@@jasonviande5053 I think all these extra access points would provide places for ne'er do weller's to vandalize the system by throwing lots of crap (garbage and all sorts of stuff) into the drain. I think that they give access to too many people. But, maybe the people of Australia are much more honorable than those of us in North America and wouldn't engage in such vandalism!
