Engineering Overview & Construction
The Warthog® WGR-Switcher™ is an innovative, patented sewer cleaning tool that functions as two distinct tools in one. Operators can switch between high-thrust pulling/flushing mode and full-power rotary cutting/descaling mode on demand simply by cycling pump pressure down and back up. This eliminates time-consuming trips out of the pipe to change nozzles mid-job, dramatically saving water, reducing cycle times, and maximizing contractor productivity.
Standard Design Features
- ✔ Controlled rotation speed maximizes jet dwell time on blockages for superior cutting penetration.
- ✔ Hardened stainless steel body with replaceable carbide/ceramic nozzle inserts.
- ✔ Internal viscous fluid governor prevents over-spinning and dramatically prolongs tool life.
- ✔ High-thrust rear propulsion jets provide self-propelling traction through long pipe runs.
Warthog® WGR-Switcher™
Revolutionary two-in-one rotary nozzle allowing operators to switch between pulling mode and cutting/descaling mode directly in the pipe without withdrawing the hose.

Description & Operational Features
Warthog® WGR-Switcher™ is engineered by StoneAge® Waterjet Tools for rapid blockage removal, heavy tree root cutting, grease emulsification, and scale clearing across Australian municipal and commercial drain lines. Featuring controlled self-rotation, the high-pressure water jets dwell longer on obstructions, delivering dramatically superior cleaning power and faster clears with reduced water consumption.
