New, Little Supplies: pics included

I was in Home Depot today and found a couple items that I thought you guys might find useful. Hope they give you some ideas.

I came accross a little interior detailing kit that attaches the 1.25" hose end of my Craftsman vacuum. It will fit any 1.25" vacuum hose. It was $12.97. A little pricey but will be worth it I think.

The kit has baby attachments used to get into vents, crevices, nooks and crannies. It even has an extension to reach farther down like between seats.

The attachments are made of the same tough plastic as the regular size attachments.

Here is the kit:


Here is the main attachment on my 1.25" vaccum hose:


Here is a brush attachment:


Here is a crevice attachment on the extension attachment for longer reach like between seats:


A major pet peeve of mine is making multiple trips to take out and put away my supplies. I have a few buckets that I load up with towels, pads, brushes, etc... In order to move everything I can only carry so much stuff. This giant carabiner will help tremendously as I can carry a lot at one time in one hand. It was only a $1.49



Attached to buckets:



Like always, anytime I'm in the basement with my supplies, one of my cats, my little buddy, is always with me sniffing and poking her head around. Here she was sitting patiently in my wash bucket observing the action as I was snapping pics. Normally she's into mischief, sniffing chemicals or batting around my brushes or hose connectors. The other day she ran off with a Mr. Clean Eraser in her mouth! Thought I'd snap a picture!

That Carabiner looks cool. The small vac attachments came with my Metro so I'm good there. Nice cat.

If your hose is 1.25", then yes it will fit perfectly. I don't know what the Rigids are exactly.

I have it attached in the pictures to my new Craftsman with a 1.25" hose. It can fit on my other large 2" hose Craftsman vacuum with the 2" to 1.25" adapter. But, it isn't necessary.

So check your owner's manual to see the hose diameter, or give it a measure.

They will, but you have to buy the Rigid "detailing hose" they sell it at HD
