    Rigid wall vac added casters

    I wasn`t able to find a direct answer on this so I am posting here in case any others wonder.

    I recently bought the Ridgid Store N Go wall mount vacuum to use in my garage. (Model WD55000) I have it mounted and that is working OK, but I noticed it had holes in the bottom for casters. This would make it easier if I ever want to take it off the wall to use for whatever reason.
    I searched at Ridgid and online forums to see what kit to buy, and got nowhere. I found a caster pak listed for other Ridgid and Shop Vac vacuums and took a chance that it may work.
    Here is what I ordered through an online store: Shop Vac Castor Set 4pk, Fits Shop Vac 90L550A Canisters SKU 4204200

    I had read some people complain the wheels won`t turn, so I got some grease to put on the caster shaft just in case.
    Popped them suckers in and it is good to go. Casters turn freely and it still works with the wall mount.
    Will make it much easier to drag this around when I need to.

    Liking this vacuum overall so far. Really like that I can use as a blower if needed. HATE the hose that was suplied with it. Trying to figure out the replacement hose that will work. The suction is good for using in my truck with the attachment on. Will work fine till I splurge on a fancy one like Metro, etc.

    Unrelated pic of my Tacoma just cause we like to see pics of cars on here
