  • Patent number: 10618086
    Abstract: A drain cleaner includes a base unit having a frame, a drum rotatably supported by the frame, a cable at least partially disposed within the drum, a motor supported by the frame for driving rotation of the drum and the cable, and a handle for guiding the cable into a drain. The handle includes a body, a passage formed in the body, and an actuator supported by the body. The passage receives a portion of the cable such that the handle is disposed around the cable and is movable along the cable relative to the base unit. The actuator is in communication with the motor for actuating rotation of the drum.
