The heavy-duty six-foot Teletube Closet Auger (Cat # T6FL) lets you clear stoppages just beyond the bowl. No need to lift the bowl, because the Teletube has an extra three feet 1 m telescoped inside a guide tube until you need it. After you’ve worked the first three feet into the bowl, you can go three feet farther simply by pressing a button and pulling the crank handle.

The outer steel tube is a big 1-1/8” in diameter. The hexagonal guide tube is even tougher than the steel rod we use in our 3FL closet augers. The Teletube weighs just a little more than a 3FL too. Other features include a vinyl bowl guard, vinyl grip handle and turning handle, and a “Grip Clip” for securing the cable.

Both the three-foot and the Telescoping six-foot closet augers feature patented Flexicore wire rope center cables. Flexicore cable is made from two layers of tempered spring wire wrapped tightly around a 49-strand wire rope center. It resists kinking and breaking yet has the right flexibility to go through low flow toilets. It’s so tough, it’s guaranteed for a full year.

Down Head

The flexible down head makes it easier for the snake to follow bowl contours. The down head springs through sharply angled passages while protecting the inner walls from chipping and breaking.
