Will a Soot Eater go up through a 6 inch chimney with a 30 degree offset. I have a clean out on the outside at the bottom of the tee. It goes up 18 inches goes thru a 30 degree off set, angles up 6 feet, thru another 30 degree offset and then straight up 12 feet. Will the soot eater bend thru the off sets and will a drill still have the power to power it.

I've never run a soot eater but I clean chimneys with a rotary system and 30 degree offsets should be nothing to worry about. I can make 90's with my commercial rods. All powered with a dewalt 20v cordless.
yes squisher is right I dont know that a soot eater will go through a 90 like our pro rods but 30s should be no problem
Yes but you dont need them soot eater will work fine for your situation. And the pro rods cost 3 to 4 times what the homeowner ones cost.
Agreed, we have a couple extra sooteater rods. Get the same rods for best flexibility and proper interconnection.

with what I paid in canuckian pesos, I would recommend going with the sooteater too. Pro rods get pricey because they are built to withstand the rigours of cleaning 100's of chimneys.
