Dewalt DCD200B 20V MAX XR Cordless Lithium-Ion Brushless Drain Snake

I dont do a ton of snaking anymore, but I wish I had this when I did. Not having to lay out cords is so nice! Good long battery life while snaking. I have a 5.0 battery on this tool and have snaked 12 calls without recharging. Plenty of power, variable speed, fairly lightweight compared to other pistol snakes. The shroud around the drum keeps the mess contained and let's me run the snake when its laying on the floor. The light is also pretty helpful when inside sink cabinets in the dark. Good tool, good design.

I bought the DCD200B tool only. After waiting for months to buy it, my only regret was not buying it sooner. Very professional design and feel. Add the ease of not having to plug in makes this amazing and safer in situations where there is a lot of water. In the 4 months that I have had it, I have used it 30+times. Never have I needed more power or even depleted a battery. The cable has also stayed very clean and has not rusted like other cables.

Bought a week ago used once and it is going back.
For starters you have to hand feed it out and back in .
But the worst feature is the cable does not have anything thing to keep it from coming completely out of the drum as you feed it. Not even a warning that you are coming to the end. So now I have 35 feet of cable down in my drain that I cant get out because I can't see it let alone reach it.
Very poor design for something that cost $400
