         8 . The sewer cutter device of  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of saw teeth comprise sharpened double or triple-edge blades positioned at both edges of each tooth, to allow the plurality of saw teeth to cut through blockages in both a forward and reverse direction, during use. 
     
     
         9 . The sewer cutter device of  claim 8 , wherein the plurality of saw teeth project radially outward and comprise sharpened, double-edge cutter blades. 
     
     
         10 . The sewer cutter device of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of saw teeth comprise multiple serrations and facets to provide additional cutting surfaces. 
     
     
         11 . The sewer cutter device of  claim 10 , wherein the curved, helical saw blade is curved and flexible to bend around obstructions within a sewer pipe or to move around a curve or elbow in the sewer pipe. 
     
     
         12 . A sewer cutter device that provides a user with a means for clearing out roots and other debris from sewer pipes, the sewer cutter device comprising:
 a body component configured in a curved, helical saw blade with a plurality of saw teeth;   wherein the curved, helical saw blade is attached at one end portion to a forward end portion of a cable of a drain snake;   wherein a forward end of the curved, helical saw blade comprises a converging tip end portion having double-edged blades;   wherein the plurality of saw teeth comprise sharpened double or triple-edge blades positioned at both edges of each tooth, to allow the plurality of saw teeth to cut through blockages in both a forward and reverse direction, during use;   wherein the plurality of saw teeth project radially outward and comprise sharpened, double-edge cutter blades;   wherein the plurality of saw teeth cut strong roots in both forward and reverse directions to clear blockages in sewage pipes; and   wherein combined spinning motion of the drain snake and helical shape of the curved, helical saw blade provides an efficient root cutting action for blocked sewer pipes and drains.   
     
     
         13 . The sewer cutter device of  claim 12 , wherein the plurality of saw teeth comprise multiple serrations and facets to provide additional cutting surfaces. 
     
     
         14 . The sewer cutter device of  claim 12 , wherein the curved, helical saw blade is curved and flexible to bend around obstructions within a sewer pipe or to move around a curve or elbow in the sewer pipe. 
     
     
         15 . The sewer cutter device of  claim 12 , wherein the sewer cutter device is manufactured of a sturdy, flexible, and durable metal, such as aluminum, stainless steel, or steel. 
     
     
         16 . The sewer cutter device of  claim 12  further comprising a plurality of indicia. 
     
     
         17 . The sewer cutter device of  claim 12 , wherein the drain snake comprises a body component having a rearward end and a forward end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the rearward and forward ends. 
     
     
         18 . The sewer cutter device of  claim 17 , wherein the forward end has a cable feed passage and a cable is stored in the rearward end of the body component and the cable has a forward end portion extending out of the cable feed passage.
