Drain snake auger recommendations?

[Ahoragi]

Does anyone recommend any particular drain snake auger? We have some drains that are plugged up mostly by roots. Had a pro over last year and he had the big Milwaukee drain machine and he managed to unclog one of the foundation drains. Pulled out a bunch of roots with it. $400 for that 1 hour job. I figured I'd spend the cash on one rather than pay for another job.

Will probably need about 100 ft in length.

Thanks

Maybe you can rent one? Just see if they have a commercial one.

Worked in a correctional facility for a while, the plumber has an industrial Rigid for drains, no roots but towels, blankets, clothing and god knows what else. I would think the cost of a snake to handle roots would be very expensive.

I rented one from Home Depot once. Kind of hard to beat their price, and they get to store/maintain it.

Thanks for the responses. I did not know HD rented tools. Will check that out.
