Did in my last house. Old orangeburg tile sewer line that had issues with roots. The guy used a camera as well to show what it looked like. I was impressed with the results. We moved so I don't know about long term, but I felt it was worth it.

I have seen that done and then they jetted a sleeve inside the pipe to keep it from collapsing.

Question: I am looking for a solid drill and impact drill set that can take a beating. What are the most reliable and durable brands.
Thanks |

I bought a 20v lithium ion porter cable drill/impact set today.
Dewalt cost more but work and a lot of your friends will have batteries or additional tools. I also hear good things about Milwaukee and hitachi. |

We have a DeWalt impact with the lithium batteries at work, and we've had trouble with the batteries getting hotter than hell during extended use. IMO corded is the way to go if you want power and reliability with an impact.

Check the price of extra batteries. You may find that a cheaper "dispisable" brand offers better value than one that will last 15 years but cost 5x as much as you replace batteries. |

Frankly I've never used an impact driver like that. I've used 1/2 and 3/4 impact wrenches but air is the way to go there. At one time we had a hitachi 1/2 impact and it was awesome. But we killed the batteries and they quit making them so we switched them to all air. |

Pretty much everyone I know that uses tools for a living uses DeWalt. But if you just need something for occasional use around the house the Milwaukee should be fine. They were once a very respected brand but like many others they have cheapened their stuff up over the years.
