Ridgid 59787 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Ridgid K-3 toilet auger work on a modern low-flow toilet?
Yes. The K-3's 3-foot inner core cable is built to navigate the narrower passages found in water-conserving toilets without binding, and the attached bulb head flexes through the trap bends rather than hanging up on them. That is the main reason to pick a purpose-built closet auger over a general-purpose hand snake.
2) Will a closet auger scratch a porcelain toilet bowl?
The K-3 has a vinyl guard over the tube specifically to keep the metal off the china while you feed the cable. That is the difference between a toilet auger and running a bare drain cable into a bowl, which is how porcelain gets gouged.
3) Is 3 feet of cable long enough to clear a toilet clog, or do I need a longer drain machine?
Three feet reaches through the bowl and the integral trap, which is where the large majority of toilet stoppages sit (toys, wipes, paper). If the blockage is past the closet flange and down in the branch line or the stack, a closet auger won't get there and you need a drum machine or sectional cable instead.
4) What size cable is on the Ridgid K-3 and does it kink?
It runs a 1/2-inch compression-wrapped inner core cable. The inner core construction is what keeps it from kinking when the head loads up and you keep cranking, which is the usual failure point on cheap closet augers.
5) Do I need to buy a head or cutter separately for the Ridgid K-3 59787?
No. The 59787 ships as a complete hand auger with the bulb head already attached to the cable. There is nothing else to order to put it to work.
6) Is a bulb head or a drop head better for toilet work?
The bulb head on the K-3 is the general-purpose choice: it is compact and flexible enough to turn the tight curves of a toilet trap and will hook soft obstructions like paper and wipes. A drop-head style auger is aimed more at grabbing and retrieving hard objects. For routine restroom clog calls, the bulb head covers the bulk of the work.
7) How heavy is the Ridgid K-3 toilet auger to carry on service calls?
4.5 pounds. Light enough to live in a service van or a maintenance cart and be carried unit to unit by hand, which matters if you are a property maintenance tech working a building of restrooms in a day.
8) Is the Ridgid K-3 a hand tool or does it run off a drill?
It is a hand-operated auger. You feed and rotate the cable with the handle, with no power head involved, so there is no motor to stall and no cord or battery to manage in a restroom.
9) Where is the Ridgid K-3 59787 made?
Mexico. The exact manufacturer part number to specify is Ridgid 59787, K-3 series.
