Why Buy Magnum™?

Spartan Tool HIGHLY  recommends our exclusive .55 or .66 Magnum™ drain cleaning cables to all customers that operate a Model 2001, Model 1065 or Model 300 drain cleaning machine.

First, a quick tutorial on drain cables in general. Drain cables are fundamentally long springs that, when they meet an obstacle in a drain line, swiftly compress or torque down on themselves, transforming this previously flexible drain snake into a stiffened rod. The actual breaking up of or pounding through a blockage comes by repetitively flexing the drain cables direct into the clog and allowing it to torque up into a stiff rod. Except for Spartan Tool’s Magnum™ cables, all drain cables are wound from a single continuous strand of wire.

Inner-core cable quickens that torque into the clog by giving the outer cable something to torque against. That’s why Spartan Tool only uses wound inner-core cables – basically cables within cables – since if the inner-core is squishy because it is made from plastic or just simple braided wire, it takes longer to torque than a wound inner-core, and you’ve added a great deal of weight to the cable for little or no benefit. Our Magnum™ inner-core is even better, because the helixes of the
wound inner-core run opposite the outer-core and are welded into position, resulting in a cable-within-a-cable that provides greater strength and quicker torque than standard cables.

Spartan Tool’s Magnum™ cables give you three important advantages in use. First, rather than winding our cable from a single continuous strand of wire, Magnum™ cables are double wound using simultaneously fed and formed wire. This double wind results in dramatically quicker torque into the clog –33% quicker torquing  – because the two independent strands of wire not only torque down into the inner-core, but the inner core itself torques in the opposite direction. It’s like
having two cables in one. And because it torques more quickly, you can finish the job sooner!

When we double wind our Magnum™ cables, we can use thinner gauge wire than we otherwise would. This means that Magnum™ cable is 25% lighter weight  than the same length of standard drain cables, making it easier to maneuver the machine to its work location, again allowing you to save time on the job.

Because the Magnum™ cable is wound with a thinner gauge wire, it has a smaller outer diameter. This means that you can fit more cable in the drum!  Where a Model 300 machine can only fit 75 feet of 5/8” cable, plus the 5 foot anchor and 2 foot leader cable for a total of 82 feet of capacity, using Magnum™ cable allows a full 100 feet of cable, plus the anchor and leader, for a total capacity of 107 feet. That 25 foot advantage can often make the difference between needing a different machine or a second drum to reach and clear a clog.

Since time is money, and Magnum™ cable saves you time, it will deliver a huge return on your investment. It is lighter yet stronger, more cable will fit into your machine, and it will clear drains more quickly. Make Magnum™ your choice the
next time you consider drain cables for your larger machines.
