Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- This was a large shop vacuum, and a great deal for the price! 16 gallon, 5HP, Locking hose connectors, and a hose that will attach directly to a Delta 36-725 Table Saw dust collection port. This has lots of power as you will see in the video, and sucks up sawdust extremely quickly, withonut hesitation! This one will be for my woodworking shop, but can be used in any environment, garage, woodshop, for cleaning out your cars, or around the house! I got what I feel was a great deal, and you can too!! Follow the link below if you're interested in this deal!

Thanks for this video! I just bought this and wanted to make sure I was putting the wheels on right cause they are hard to push in. 😊😊
Thank you for watching! Yeah the wheels are a bit tough, but at least they shouldn’t be falling off 😂
I have the newer upgraded model to this one and I can use a 20 foot hose and vacuum up dirt if I wanted this thing works like a charm
@@richardcope3077 I use mine almost daily and I love it! Really has a lot of power!
One thing I did with my Shop-vac was put it outside in a deck box and ran the cord and hose through a hole in the wall. I picked up 30 ft of hose on Amazon and plug it into a switched outlet. When it's on the only thing I can hear is the air being sucked into the hose. Also I removed the filter from it and only run a screen over the impeller intake on the inside of the vac and vent it through a hole in the deck box out into the air. that way I never have to change the filter!
I’ve thought about something similar! I’m trying more and more to use some type of dust collection, saves the lungs and a lot of cleanup time!
I used mine for like 2 min and it got super hot is that normal ?
Finaly a video well explain...them wheels had me going crazie 😂😂i thoughy i had bought the wrong ones
Glad you got it lined out!
Me too!
Please keep making video tutorials, Sir. This one was quite helpful. I bought the 13 gallon machine yesterday for basement sewer overfow. Blessings in return. 🙏
Wow! Thank you!!
@@Brads-Woodshed I'm currently reading how to clean and maintain the filter after water cleanup. Any suggestions?
@@Annabee399 well for what I do, I take it outside and dust it out with air, if I clean with water I let it dry naturally, but installing a pre filter may help a bit!
@@Brads-Woodshed Thanks for your help. I watched a video about using paper towels and painter's tape or pool filter socks if a replacement filter can't be found. Ok, I'm putting it to use in 5 4 3... Sorry for so many questions. So have a relaxing evening.
@@Annabee399 only issue with paper towels, it may not let enough air pass through and shorten the life of the motor!
Passed judgement too quickly.. I didnt have the lid closed all the way and thought it wasnt working well at all. Once I made sure the lid was closed it works well.
Wow! Sorry you had issues! Mine works great!
@@Brads-Woodshed It was my fault.. the lid wasnt closed all the way! Works fine! Thanks for the video!
@@timedj9164 glad it was simple! Thank you!
They are on sale at Home depot for 54.00 dollars, black Friday.
Nice!
i'm looking to get the HD1600 6.5 hp 16 gal.
Nice! Hope it works great!
Usually when you buy the cheapest model for that size you get what you paid for lol
Liked & Subscribed a while ago. 👍🙏
I truly appreciate that!
You got it for $60, too? I thought I was getting a Black Friday deal, lol
Yep, it has been a minute since I got it but it was on sale
@@Brads-WoodshedI checked them out online and they are still $60. I'm guessing they are often on sale for this price. Apparently they sell a higher-end model for more
@@leafybug04 possibly! I am super pleased with this one though!
Does this work well to vacuum carpet?
TBH I haven’t tried it on carpet but it is very powerful so I’d imagine it’d work on just about anything you could imagine!
1. Get a better filter for sawdust. Blue is better. Green is best. 2. GET A BAG! Don't just use your drum. A bag is better for filtration of fine dust. 3. Use a nozzle. A car nozzle or crevice tool are better than just the hose end. 4. It is NOT horse power. It is PEAK horse power. No small vacuum could possibly be 5 Hp. That would blow your 15A circuit in a second.
Contact me for more info on your HD1640. I designed it. John Wolford.
@@JohnWOLFORD-el9ke Thanks for the tip!
Thank you John! Mine is RIDGID WD16400. I lost my accesories and I can't find the right ones. Are these extensions and nozzles 2.5 inches in size? can you help me on this? Also, can you share some links where to get the accesories you mention? Thank you again!
