Mini & Main Reel Alternatives for New Zealand Plumbers
Looking for a Razorback Mini or Main Reel?
Razorback previously offered Mini and Main Reel products for professional plumbing and drain work.
These products are no longer part of our current range.
Rather than directing you to an unrelated product and calling it a replacement, we recommend choosing your equipment based on the job you actually need to carry out.
Whether you need to inspect a drain, locate a camera underground, clear a blockage, or maintain an existing Razorback camera system, our current range includes equipment designed for specific plumbing and drain applications.
What Can You Use Instead of a Mini or Main Reel?
There is no single Razorback product that directly replaces the discontinued Mini & Main Reel range.
The right option depends on what you need the equipment to do.
Need to Inspect Drains and Pipes?
If your main goal is to inspect pipework, identify blockages, locate faults, or see what is happening inside a drain, a professional drain camera may be the more suitable option.
Razorback offers drain camera systems for different pipe sizes and plumbing applications, from everyday maintenance work through to larger drain and pipeline inspections.
Depending on your requirements, you can choose from individual camera systems or complete drain camera packs.
Need Equipment for Drain Jetting?
If you were looking at a jetting mini reel because you carry out drain-cleaning work, Razorback also offers jetting equipment and accessories for sewer and stormwater applications. The Mob of Pigs – Jetter Nozzle Kit is a three-piece nozzle kit designed for professional drain cleaning. The kit includes:
- Brass Turbo Body
- Stainless Penetrator Head
- Stainless Grease Head
- Operating Pressure up to 4000 KPA
It provides several nozzle options in one kit for tackling different types of common drain-cleaning jobs. The Mob of Pigs is not a direct replacement for a jetting mini reel, but it may be relevant if your requirement is focused on jetting and blockage-clearing work.
Need to Locate a Drain Camera Underground?
If locating a camera head or sonde is part of your inspection work, Razorback also offers professional locating equipment.
A compatible locator can help identify the underground position of a transmitting camera head or sonde during an inspection.
This can be useful when you need to determine where a blockage, damaged section, or other issue is located before excavation or repair work begins.
Choose Equipment Based on the Job
Drain and Sewer Inspection
Choose a drain camera suited to the pipe sizes and types of drainage systems you inspect most often. Different camera-head sizes and configurations are available for different applications.
Blockage Diagnosis
A drain camera can help you visually investigate the inside of a pipe and identify issues before deciding on the most appropriate cleaning or repair method.
Drain Jetting
If your work involves clearing sewer and stormwater lines, look at current jetter equipment and nozzle options designed for drain-cleaning applications.
Sonde Locating
For jobs where you need to pinpoint the underground location of a camera head or transmitter, consider compatible locating equipment.
Maintaining Existing Razorback Equipment
If you already own a Razorback drain camera, replacement camera heads, cables, skids, springs, screens, connection cables, and other spare parts may help keep your existing system working without replacing the whole unit.
Current Razorback Equipment for NZ Plumbers
Although Mini & Main Reels are no longer part of the Razorback range, we continue to provide equipment for drain inspection, locating, maintenance, and drain-cleaning work.
Drain Cameras
Choose from drain camera systems designed for different pipe sizes and professional plumbing applications. Options range from compact inspection cameras through to larger systems for bigger drain and pipeline work.
Drain Camera Packs
For plumbers wanting a more complete setup, Razorback also offers camera packs combining equipment for professional inspection work.
Camera Heads
Replacement and alternative camera-head sizes are available for compatible Razorback drain camera systems.
Camera Cables
Replace or upgrade compatible drain camera cables without replacing the complete camera system.
Spare Parts
Keep your Razorback equipment working with compatible replacement parts, including skids, springs, screens, connection cables, and other components.

Built for Practical Plumbing Work
Razorback equipment is designed around practical use for working plumbers and drain professionals.
Across compatible Razorback systems, individual components can be replaced or upgraded rather than requiring the entire inspection unit to be replaced when one part wears out or needs attention.
That can mean:
- Less Downtime
- Easier Repairs
- Simpler Upgrades
- Access to Replacement Components
- More flexibility from your existing equipment
Always check product compatibility before ordering replacement components or upgrades.
Why Razorback No Longer Lists Mini & Main Reels
Our Mini & Main Reel products are no longer available for purchase, so they have been removed from our active product range. We’ve kept this page available because plumbers may still find Razorback while searching for these older products.
Instead of sending you to a product that does not perform the same job, this page helps you understand the current options available depending on what you are trying to achieve.
If there is no direct replacement for your previous Mini or Main Reel setup, our team can help you determine whether a current drain camera, locator, jetter accessory, or other piece of equipment is suitable for your work.
Not Sure What Equipment You Need?
If you were searching for a Razorback Main Reel, Mini Reel, jetting reel, or similar product and aren’t sure what to use instead, get in touch with the Razorback team.
It helps if you can tell us:
- What type of plumbing or drain work you carry out
- The pipe sizes you commonly work with
- Whether you need inspection, jetting, or locating equipment
- Whether you already use Razorback equipment
- Which parts or accessories you currently have
- What you were previously using the Mini or Main Reel for
We can then help you identify a suitable option from the current Razorback range.
