People that come over to use it (when they`re using up all my supplies) absolutely rave about it, say it`s the favorite part of their visit to my home.
Does the 8 gallons tank matters compared to a larger tank, for better suction?
Awhile ago I brought my Shop Vac to the local Ace Hardware. They had 2 adapters kit one Craftsman the other Shop Vac. None of the adapters, connectors would fit my Shop Vac. The floor rep said could sand the bigger one to fit, but if I mess up there`s nothing I can do but trash it. Then the smaller one I could tape it to build up the thickness. All they said is I may have a oddball size, or a defect.
It`s been durable, you can drive the car over it without ill-effect. It came from "mrnozzleinc" in Riverside CA. It`s well-made and in no way cheap/flimsy like the hose supplied with most vacs.
I Goggle Mr. Nozzle Inc, only a PDF file came up from Mr Nozzle.
The kit I bought had the hose, a claw nozzle (picture) and the traditional narrow nozzle (picture) and the correct adapter for my Shop Vac. The adapter is simply a tight slip fit, the hose threads up (reverse thread) into the adapter. It`s all very secure. It get`s a lot of use. I don`t see any downside to it and can`t ever see myself using the Shop Vac without it or some equivalent hose. I keep an extra extension cord permanently connected to the Shop Vac so, between the long hose and the long cord, I can cover essentially any vehicle in my garage without connecting/re-connecting the vac.
Is the kit model number M-100- DB?
