RIDGID is celebrating three decades of diagnostic work at the WWETT Show, Feb. 17-19, in Indianapolis. This year, RIDGID is highlighting the FlexShaft KM-1004 Milling Machine, a drain cleaning and milling solution. In addition to showcasing their latest underground technology, RIDGID will offer show-only promotions and host a special in-booth (#2605) meetup for industry professionals.

“For 30 years, RIDGID has set the industry standard in diagnostics, and our commitment to innovation is stronger than ever,” said Jeff Albertini, product management director, underground technologies and licensing, RIDGID. “We’re especially excited to feature the FlexShaft KM-1004 Milling Machine at WWETT 2026. It’s a true game-changer for professionals tackling the toughest residential and commercial milling and drain cleaning jobs.”

Featured WWETT 2026 products

  • FlexShaft KM-1004 Milling Machine - Combines drain cleaning and heavy-duty milling in a new-to-world tool. Taking on residential and commercial jobsites ranging from 1¼″ to 4″ pipes up to 80’, it offers hybrid power via an 18V battery or corded operation for all-day runtime. Its brushless motor with I-Clutch technology adapts to either ¼" or 5/16″ cables. The machine’s digital display features variable speed controls and the first FlexShaft cable counter for precision and control, while the field-serviceable cable and coupling simplify maintenance without the need for specialty tools.
  • K-46 Cordless Sink Snake – A handheld drain cleaner that clears blockages in sinks, tubs and showers. It includes a multi-position kickstand that allows it to be rested on a flat surface, angled upwards towards a drain opening for working in a sink vanity, or rested vertically in a tub without exposing the battery to water. Powered by the RIDGID 18V Advanced Lithium Battery Platform, the K- 46 is compact and can be used in 3/4″ to 3″ drain lines. It comes equipped with a 5/16″ by 25′ inner core cable and is compatible with 1/4″ and 3/8″ cable diameters up to 50′ in length.
  • SeeSnake Digital Self-Leveling Camera Reels with TruSense Technology - Providing clear, upright in-pipe images without mechanical self-leveling parts, SeeSnake Digital Self-Leveling Camera. Reels aim to reduce maintenance costs. Powered by TruSense technology, they feature high dynamic range imaging, TiltSense inclinometer, digital pan/zoom, and a FleXmitter sonde for easy navigation. The Mini Pro DSL is great for home inspections; the Compact M40 DSL is designed for tight areas with a mid-range push cable; the Compact C40 DSL offers lightweight portability for quick setups; and the Standard DSL reel is built for longer runs and larger pipes.

Other RIDGID drain cleaning, diagnostic and press tools will also be available for demo, including sectional machines, drum machines, jetters, SeeSnake camera systems and locators.

Additional WWETT Show Activations

RIDGID will host a booth meetup on Feb. 17 at 2 p.m., where attendees can enter to win a customized heavyduty pipe wrench, a K9-102+ FlexShaft or a K9-204+ FlexShaft machine. Visitors can also scan their badge for chances to win one of three K-46 Cordless Sink Snakes.

RIDGID is partnering with drain cleaning creators Seth Williams(@thefixitdad) and Wade Hiatt(@Wade_thp), who will provide live show coverage across RIDGID’s social platforms. Follow along here: @ridgidtools on Instagram, @RIDGIDTools on Facebook, and @RIDGIDTools on TikTok.
