In plain terms:

This is a full “toolbox of heads” for a powered drain cleaning machine.

Instead of one tool doing everything:

• different heads are used depending on the clog
  • roots → cutters
  • grease → augers
  • tough blockages → chain knockers

It’s meant for professional plumbers clearing main sewer lines, not household hand augers.
