The Drain King that your link goes to is for a model 750, which is for 3" to
6" drains. I've used that model on main drains. The success depends on the
blockage.

Professional plumbers clean sewer pipes with a jetter -- special
pressure
washer with a nozzle that spray the water backwards (to propel the hose
forward) and forward (to puncture the dirt in front).

For home owners, is there a similar nozzle for a garden hose that would
allow me to clean storm drains? If not, is there something like a
metallic
dome cover for hose end that I can drill holes in to make one myself?


There are but they do not work the same way. Garden hose adaptors work by
ballooning up in a vent and using weight and volume to move solids. They
do
nothing for roots.

I have used one of these several times. I use HOT water and a quart of
Ammonia first. After 30 minutes I stick this down the vent to the area of
the drain I am working on. You can not push a garden hose much past the
first 90. This is not for working on main drains. Augers and pro tools
work there. This might help, for a while.

A friends kitchen sink was hideously slow. We replaced the arm to the
sink,
half plugged up. Then I went to work on the stack. A year later and they
still do not have any problems. Every 30 days half a quart of ammonia
and
hot water down the drain. Then a bowl, tub, or sink full of hot water
after
it.
Ammonia will help cut the grease and the volume and weight of the bowl,
tub
or sink full of water pushes the problem to a larger pipe. Hopefully then
it
is not a problem.
