11:04 FWIW I think you gotta sand down the tips of the rigid crevice tool as well to avoid damaging leather surfaces. I've put light scratches/scuffs in real leather & subaru fake leather in the wilderness outback using this tool. Once I sanded it out with like I think 400 grit at least to finish, it is totally smooth & eliminates this risk. I'd recommend anyone do it if you get either of these kits.
HF is upping their game. People will still hate and 💩 on them but they’ve come a long way and folks are taking notice. One of the fastest growing companies in the country right now, similar in store numbers as big blue and big orange.
Great review! I'm in Florida, and will be getting this detail kit AND the 3 1/2 gallon 45cfm Bauer vacuum. I bet the EXTRA tubeular attachment is so you can connect th ehose from the vacuum to the detail kit hose - making for 16feet overall hose length. A good deal! Buy the detail kit AND the HF vacuum for about 75 bucks!😊
I already bought the Rigid kit with my new Rigid vac. Saving $30 would have been great, but I think I got the vac and accessory kit on sale, so that helps. Harbor Freight is really stepping things up! Great video!
I already have the Rigid kit, but this Bauer is an easy no-brainer for someone that needs a kit. Markus and team did a great job with all of the HF detailing supplies.
U mean copying Rigid development team's idea and choice of attachments and overall putting together a nice kit? So the HF team comes in and says "we can copy the design and sell it cheaper", are we calling that a great job now? 👏 ok
@@ByGraceThroughFaith777rigid probably didn’t design anything. Just ordered it from some China factory. Retail stores are nothing but mainstream normalized “drop shipping” stores.
Nice one Josh. I am definitely going to Harbor Freight now! I also watched your recent video on what new detailing products are available for sale at Harbor Freight and it was a pretty good list of stuff. They are definitely "upping their game" when it comes to detailing products because years ago they only had just a couple of products for detailing. Now they have an entire section devoted to detailing and also those new polishers and pads they added and they even have the forced rotation! Next, they need to add one of the MICRO POLISHERS and the related pads to go with it! Then you'd have almost everything you need! Great job Harbor Freight!
No brainer. I'm buying the red square vacuum and the Bauer kit. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. The Rigid kit keeps going up in price
I bought this kit last weekend and finally used it today. Wow! This is way better than the rigid setup. The rigid hose would constantly have this high pitched annoying whistle hooked up to both my shop.vac and vac master vacuums. And the attachments from rigid would never stay on the extensions I had already with my shop.vac. The Bauer hose has no whistle sound and all of my other attachments stay on perfectly with this Bauer set up. This kit is very well worth the $25 and I would highly recommend. Thanks for this info Josh. My rigid hose is gonna get sold at my next community garage sale. Lol
I am in the process of building a really cheap detailing set up for my parents house for when I fly home to visit I can detail my family and friends vehicles while I visit. This is definitely going to get purchased for there. I personally run the rigid vac and accessory kit for my mobile detailing business in Florida but this is a great value for a 2nd set of equipment.
Heading over to Harbor Freight pretty soon to grab that. I use the vacmaster shop vac from Menards and it doesn't have that clip to hold the Shop-Vac holds onto it and it has never been a problem
Holy crap you keep saving me money kid I clicked on the link for the hose kit and it came up Ridged Hose kit for 26 bucks for a black friday sale! Thanks...
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO BUY THE RIDGID KIT. I have a Stanley shop vac that has a terrible hose it’s extremely stiff and I was gonna buy the ridgid kit but I just didn’t really wanna spend $50 on it but the harbor freight one honestly caught my eye a lot more
Dude thanks for the video! I went to harbor freight after I saw your video and same thing happened they didn’t even have it on the shelf yet and had to get one in the back. The employee didn’t even know it was there yet. Thanks again
Two black Fridays ago, you turned me onto the rigid set, and it was only $25 at Home Depot, and the Ryobi pressure washer was $50. That was a good year. Thanks, brother. 🇺🇸🫡🤜🤛😎🤙
My kit came with my Ridgid wet and dry 14 gal. vacuum so I got mine for essentially free as the vacuum alone was the same price as with the kit ($200 Canadian). That said, the extra foot of hose on the Bauer is a nice touch but if the inside of the hose feels sticky or greasy, that's a minus but could be rectified by picking up soapy water or a soapy cloth to clean the inside.
I recently bought a rigid vac (the square one) and I used it the first time today and the hose compresses and pulls back when using the crevice tool - seemed like I had to fight it to move it around in my vehicle. I definitely want the longer hose. A HF coupon just came in my email for $29.99 so its perfect timing! If the clip is needed that isn't on the HF hose, no problem that duct tape cant fix I've duct taped other vacuum hoses in the past.
I have always used Harbor Freight as my "Go To" for tools and equipment, cause I believe its not the Tool but the Craftsman. No way will I spend $300 or more on a buffer when as you have tested and showed the Hercules / Bauer brands do the same as the high priced brands. Thanks for keeping these vid's and comparison going!
I had the rigid kit but recently replaced it with the cen-tec quick click setup. Lots of affordable attachment options. Really enjoying it. Also didn’t like the orange hose from rigid. The grey matches my color scheme much better.
I've had my Rigid kit for many years now and it's been great for the most part. One of the ends did start coming off the hose pretty consistently and I would always jam it back on. It wasn't until I saw this video that I realized they would just twist on. Tried it out on mine and now it's good as new! Thanks to Josh for saving me the cost of buying a new kit (I probably just would have gone for the Bauer to save some cash).
Got the Bauer kit today, there was an online coupon (that I couldn’t find in the app for some reason) for $19.99 and expires in 1 day from this post. Thanks for the great review Josh.
I grabbed this for 19.99 last weekend and it is a fantastic kit. I'm glad i found your channel, I've saved a lot putting together my car detaling kit. I went for the flexzilla hose for the ryobi 1800 with the McKillan's stubby gun and stainless steel quick connects. I'm only missing the MJJC foam cannon and the kit will be complete. Cheers.
I had just discovered this kit existed through the HF app the day before this video dropped. Just picked it up today! I also had to ask for it, as it wasn't out on the floor yet. The price is an absolute deal. Love Harbor Freight.
I was literally talking to my wife about buying the rigid kit and hour ago and now this pops up! Just purchased the Bauer kit thanks for saving me some money !
I IMMEDIATELY ran to the garage to check the swivel on my Rigid hose connector after watching this. Mine swivels freely, even when it’s cranked down tight. Maybe just a slight defect on the one in this video. Thank you for the content!
I picked this kit up the other day and it's great. It wasn't on the shelf in my store either, so I had to ask and they grabbed it from the back. The only negative for me is the stiff bristle brush as I think it's too stiff for any interior cleaning. I did try it on the carpet of a really dirty driver's side footwell and I didn't like how it pulled the carpet fibers. To be fair, I've never used the Ridgid kit so I might not like the stiff brush from their kit either.
Got such a good deal on a full sized wet dry vac that I can't even complain about having paid full price on the Ridgid attachment set. Got the vac on a Walmart closeout for, if I remember correctly, something like 20 bucks, full size, full power wet dry, it was a steal! I do remember feeling a little pained at paying 50 bucks for the attachment set though LOL
7:20 i think this would only be a problem if you use the blow side of the vacuum, i’ve used it a few times to blow off wood dust from a work station & the hose snapped off twice
Thanks for the comparison. I was just going to ask you pros what you use for cleaning carpets with a vacuum. I find something like a Miele upholstery tool is MUCH more effective at vacuuming auto interior carpeting and getting hair and dirt out. I use the Ridgid car vac kit for everything else but you should try the Miele tool also.
Ok I’ve been to two Harbor Freights over the past week looking for this kit. Going to have to go back and ask for it I guess. Thanks for the heads up about the need to ask for it.
I picked up the Ridgid kit from a clearance and cab at my local Home Depot. I think I paid $20 for it. It had a longer hose in it I think, not sure now, gotta go measure it.
I had the ridgid kid I did a review on a few years ago, it split on me right at the swivel end of the hose where the black plastic meets up with where the attachments go into. Lasted me a few weeks, returned it after that. Hopefully the HF ones are better.
Standard HF business practice: willing to take a much smaller margin on their products, which they're able to do because their overhead cost is a lot lower than a HD or Lowes.
I bought the rigid 4 gallon shop vac and detailing kit saw this video a week after I returned it to get This detailing kit also Going to make a detailed extractor kit with Bauer 6 gallon shop vac it's going to be all red Thanks brother for this video. I haven't seen a all Bauer Detailing extractor kit So I'm building my own
So I bought the baeur kit 2 days ago. As far as the lil clip goes it’s irrelevant. Why I do is leave the original 5ft hose on my vacuum and attach the 10ft hose to the end of the original one and now I have 15ft of hose! It’s great!
I have a big 6.5HP Ridgid that came with a 7’ 2.5” hose. I bought an additional 13’ black 2.5” hose + a Ridgid Detailing kit and connect them all together for a total of 30’ of hose which comes in handy whenever I have to detail inside of a boat or RV. I can leave the vac outside on the ground and just bring the hose in and thx to the 6.5HP there’s no loss of suction.💪🏽
I spoke with a Harbor Freight employee the other day. He said they get boxes in that say Milwaukee and other similar tool brands. The boxes are filled with Bauer tools.
I literally just got this shipped to me today. It seems like a great kit. It came across my app last week and it got to me in about 5 days after ordering it.
HF Bauer kit is a no brainer for $25. I already have the Rigid kit that I got on sale for $25. But I might just go ahead and grab the Bauer kit when I go to HF.
I wanted to purchase this kit for a year and just came over this video, thank I will purchase this don’t care that it doesn’t have that little tab I will lift my vacuum big deal am saving half the cost .
I bought it two weeks ago! Very good quality and that’s exactly what happened to me I went to buy they had no clue they had it in stock 😂 works great 👍🏽
I just bought a shop the day after you posted this video and the hose that came with it was not so great so i went to my local habor freight and bought this house the next day and they were sold out at every store withing an hour form me in just a few days after i bought mine
Thanks, home slice! You made this decision very easy for me. I been using the rigid attachments that came with my small shop vac. Oh god I hated the plastic hose and how short it was. The only thing I bought as an accessory was the crevice tool. This made it really easy to get between the seats. Nice video as well.
I have owned several shop vac brand shop vac's and they don't have a clip to hold the hose on and I have never had the hose pull out when pulling the vacuum around
That extra piece is for european 35mm attachments. Shark attachments are also 35mm. That’s actually a very valuable adapter to include. Some of the older claw attachments [previous design] come in 35mm.
That small adapter is also used to connect to the hose for the Bauer cordless 3 gallon wet/dry vacuum which I have. I bought the kit hoping that it would work with the cordless vac.
I love it. I have the rigid one and just got the one from harbor freight. I agree its pretty much the same for 25 bucks. I am glad you did the review thank you.
11:04 FWIW I think you gotta sand down the tips of the rigid crevice tool as well to avoid damaging leather surfaces. I've put light scratches/scuffs in real leather & subaru fake leather in the wilderness outback using this tool. Once I sanded it out with like I think 400 grit at least to finish, it is totally smooth & eliminates this risk. I'd recommend anyone do it if you get either of these kits.

You can unscrew the rigid connector with the locking tab and screw it onto the HF hose. Works very well. That what I do.

Same and equal are synonymous.
I have both, I got the Ridgid for 25 + mil discount 2 years ago and the Bauer earlier this year. Very similar and both work great.
I already had a ridgid vac and ridgid detailing hose kit but I bought this new bauur hose kit to go with a new cordless Milwaukee m18 vacuum
I had the rigid kit but recently replaced it with the cen-tec quick click setup. Lots of affordable attachment options. Really enjoying it. Also didn’t like the orange hose from rigid. The grey matches my color scheme much better.
Brought the Cen-Tec hose too after watching Auto Fanatic's review of it.
I've had my Rigid kit for many years now and it's been great for the most part. One of the ends did start coming off the hose pretty consistently and I would always jam it back on.

The Ridgid shop vac I bought about 7 years ago came with the auto accessory kit so I'm good. If I needed one though, I'd be going with the HF kit.
Harbor Freight often has coupons and deals that you can use on Bauer stuff. You should be able to pick one up for $20 at least a few times a year.
I have the Bauer and it works just fine
Went with the Bauer vac. Newly opened store, so less than $40 out the door. Works great.
Awesome deal!!
I grabbed this for 19.99 last weekend and it is a fantastic kit. I'm glad i found your channel, I've saved a lot putting together my car detaling kit.

This Auto Detailing Accessory Kit also fits the small Harbor Freight Bauer 3Gallon shop vac perfectly. What a great setup!
Bauer sells another set of mini and micro nozzles. I think that coupler is to attach those
I had just discovered this kit existed through the HF app the day before this video dropped. Just picked it up today! I also had to ask for it, as it wasn't out on the floor yet. The price is an absolute deal. Love Harbor Freight.
I have been waiting for a hands on video. Save a Bauer for me boys.
Got vac and hose today

The brush attachments are the best for cleaning the Lexus soft rubber mats.
I went the first day it came out and it wasn't even on the shelf yet...manager went to the back and hooked me up...great buy
Already own the Ridgid but it's nice to see better options at the freight.

This will be on my shopping list for the next trip to HF. We have a big Baurer shop vac. this will make cleaning vehicles easier.
👍👍👍
Smooth the tips with a little heat. I use a lighter to really knock down sharp edges.
Good idea.
I just bought that kit a week ago and i was going to message you to review it.
I bought mine yesterday. I also purchased the Bauer 3 gallon vacuum. I hope it works good for my needs.
I got a rigid for $20 online but needed hose and attachments. After seeing this today, ran out and got it. Thanks for the info
The little extra piece looks like it would fit the small Bauer vacuum (what I have) and maybe even stick vacs
The bristles in my bauer already started coming out, had to return it, worthwhile experiment but i will stick to rigid for now
I had the ridgid kid I did a review on a few years ago, it split on me right at the swivel end of the hose where the black plastic meets up with where the attachments go into. Lasted me a few weeks, returned it after that. Hopefully the HF ones are better.

I was poking around on the Harbor Freight website and just found this. Thanks for the comparison! I'll be picking the Bauer and saving $30.
Well the Bauer is now 29.99 here in Texas.
I just checked online and you’re right… looks like they increased the price by $5… still a good deal but not as good as 25
I’ve been wanting to pick up one these for weeks. Stores around me don’t have them in stock
I spoke with a Harbor Freight employee the other day. He said they get boxes in that say Milwaukee and other similar tool brands. The boxes are filled with Bauer tools.
I literally just got this shipped to me today. It seems like a great kit. It came across my app last week and it got to me in about 5 days after ordering it.
Going with Bauer even though both are same price right now, only because it also includes 1 7/8 adapter for my vacuum and Ridgid doesnt.
Thanks. The red Bauer rocks
I’m so glad you do reviews on everything.. it helps us detailers get better on investing in equipment.. Thanks keep it up..
Thanks, will do!
Good luck. This out of stock all over LA and won't be back until July. It's June 1st. Gonna get the rigid out of necessity.
If I had a red vac I would go Bauer for sure but with an orange Rigid, the different color would drive me nuts
HF Bauer kit is a no brainer for $25. I already have the Rigid kit that I got on sale for $25. But I might just go ahead and grab the Bauer kit when I go to HF.

Heading to Harbor Freight right meow
I think that extra piece on the Bauer is to connect two kits/hoses together for extra length?
Thanks for the vid! When is the announcement for the winner of the active 2.3?
I love how enthusiastic you are about the products, keep up the good work!
I bought it two weeks ago! Very good quality and that’s exactly what happened to me I went to buy they had no clue they had it in stock 😂 works great 👍🏽
I picked up on Sunday from HF. They had to get from the back too. Been wanting a second hose but home depot too expensive.
the tiny extra piece in the bauer is to attach hoses together to make a long one.
Maybe that adapter is for the current Bauer vacuum attachment? Also, are the attachments interchangeable?
I went to the Harbor website and the first picture shows two hoses fitted together. I think that the extra hose goes on them to add length.
Yes. It the new hose is so much better than what it comes with. I would probably buy 2 of the new ones and run them together to get the 50’
Just bought this detailing kit along with a 3 gal Bauer shopvac for $50 + tax.. thats as much as the Rigid detailing kit on its own!
I just bought a 20v craftsman 2gal shop vac imma go by harbor freight an get this for my car detailing
I just bought a shop the day after you posted this video and the hose that came with it was not so great so i went to my local habor freight and bought this house the next day and they were sold out at every store withing an hour form me in just a few days after i bought mine
Thanks, home slice! You made this decision very easy for me. I been using the rigid attachments that came with my small shop vac. Oh god I hated the plastic hose and how short it was. The only thing I bought as an accessory was the crevice tool. This made it really easy to get between the seats. Nice video as well.
Thanks for the over view of the 2 brands!
Great comparison. For me, the Bauer wins. For a professional, the longevity of that hose may matter. Or not. Thanks.
Luckily I have a HF 5 minutes away. Just got back from there with the only kit they had in the store. Can't beat it for that price !
I have owned several shop vac brand shop vac's and they don't have a clip to hold the hose on and I have never had the hose pull out when pulling the vacuum around
Thanks man! I was just looking at that from the HF advertising page. If the hose is the same as mine, I will just take the one off of my Rigid.
Nice job. I'm like you not enough difference between them to justify spending the extra money
That extra piece is for european 35mm attachments. Shark attachments are also 35mm. That’s actually a very valuable adapter to include.
Some of the older claw attachments [previous design] come in 35mm.
Yes great for some different attachments!
Great info
That small adapter is also used to connect to the hose for the Bauer cordless 3 gallon wet/dry vacuum which I have. I bought the kit hoping that it would work with the cordless vac.
Nice review Josh, I wish we had Harboe Freight in Canada. Maybe on my next trip I’ll pick one up
Exactly the item I've been needing...and at $30 less! Thanks for this detailed (pardon the pun!) comparison...saved me money!
Just used the kit today...works great! The longer hose and perfectly fit attachments are the right tool for the task!
Can you take the part of the Rigid hose that attaches to the vacuum off and put it on the Bauer hose so you have the clip on part?
I was looking at the comparisons I Kidd you not around 10 this morning , and boom you made this video, thank you 🤝
I love it. I have the rigid one and just got the one from harbor freight. I agree its pretty much the same for 25 bucks. I am glad you did the review thank you.
Just got mine! I have a Bauer shop vac too so it all looks and works great
Could you review a bucket top wet/dry vac for us? There are several on the market from home depot, lowes, Walmart, and others.
Yea!
