I will check what mine is...we just bought it and it is excellent. They had an option to buy the mini tool kit...it is great for the small areas that you can`t reach with the tools that come with it. I need to bring it up to take care of my computer and keyboard anyway...I will post everything for you.:xyxthumbs

Anything else you need off the box let me know. We store it in the box because we travel with it.

I use a Ridgid wet/dry vac. The one I have is not exactly personal but I use it for many things around the house. Works really well, has many accessories available and comes in various sizes.



BTW, purchased at Home Depot.

Thanks for all replies. I finally got the Ridgid WD4050 Portable Vacuum 4 gallon and 5 hp. It works great for my taste. It has the blower port. Is the blower feature of this machine good?



It also includes the Diffuser Mufler but I don`t know what it is for? any idea?





thanks All.

I have the 12-gallon one and it looks like yours has the same motor.

It`s very powerful - it was actually sucking up some of my tools.



From what I remember the muffler is attached to the blower output while vacuuming to reduce noise - kind of like a car muffler.

I never used one so I can`t comment on its effectiveness. However all the accessories are very usefull.

:D :D .. Did it actually swallow your wallet? :D :D



Your explanation about what the Diffuser Mufler is used for is reasonable I will give it a try. I have to wear the earplug when vacuuming. It will be great if that what it is for.



thanks!
