All they are are glorified pressure washers with a long high pressure hose.

You can also buy a little bulb that hooks up to the end of a hose. The bulb swells up to block off the pipe while allowing water to move down the pipe. Even though it isn't high pressure, the water push is still very powerful and will clean out a lot of clogs. Not sure what the bulb is called but probably any hardware store would carry it.

I used it several times on a kitchen sink drainage pipe that ran through the yard and into the woods. Eventually I dug it up and replaced the bad sections of pipe as it was a recurring problem. Found certain sections busted and dirt would eventually clog up the pipe.
