Plastic Pipe Ram Bit - 1-1/2 in. Review

On buying this, I was a bit skeptical of how it would perform and that was mostly because I could see that it was simply formed from stamped sheet steel.On the other hand, PVC is pretty soft and there was a mention of this product on Ask This Old House a couple of months ago, so it must work as advertised to some degree.

For my particular problem, I had a drain wye piece that was installed backwards and caused all of the drains in the house to gurgle.Because the wye was installed within 0.5 inch of the other fittings, I needed this tool to be able to reuse the fittings on either side of the wye joint.Otherwise, I would have had to replace a section of PVC consisting of 15+ different fittings and it would have been a much larger job.

The rambit did perform as expected.A mains powered electric drill is pretty much required since most battery operated drills don't really have the oomph to spin this tool(mine did, but I went through batteries faster than I could charge them and ended up using a corded drill).A 3/8 inch drill is fine even though the packaging specifies that you need 1/2 inch drill - it'll just take slightly longer.

Overall I think this is a great product, but don't expect it to perform as a professional tool.For the odd job here or there, it works great, but I don't think it would last very long if you're a professional plumber expecting to use this tool several times per week.
