You could buy the rigid detailing atttachment kit to retrofit your 12gal from Home Depot. It includes the long hose. I have one, works great. Didn't have to buy a new vac. FYI, the Vacmaster Beast has a much better rating than the Rigid
I really enjoyed your video. I am going to purchase this vacuum with extra kit too. Looks like a great machine. I detail on the side , and this looks like a amazing machine.
I would love an update mini review after using the vac awhile. Also which filter do you use/prefer? And how do you change the filter, and how often do they need to be replaced? Thanks so much! :)
Hey Simone! I am still using the original filter after all these months and hundreds of cars. Every few weeks when I empty the vacuum I simply pull the filter off (it slides off its mount with a tug) and bang it on the trash can to “clean” it. It will get all over the place so I wouldn’t recommend doing this at your customers house or near any open doors or windows.
How on earth does the long, black, 2 piece attachment that comes with the vacuum, attach to the upgraded hose end? Sorry for the silly question, but I honestly can't figure out how the two connect, different size connector points? Am I overlooking a adapter? Id really like to vacuum my shop floor without hurting my back, tks.
I just got this vac and also the 6-piece auto detailing hose package. The chisel head is not compatible with the orange hose that comes with the hose package, but I see in your video you are using the chisel with the orange hose, Ridgid says there's no attachment to use the chisel head with the orange hose. How are you doing it?
Yeah its a shit design and you really have to shove it down there. Over time you stretch out the hose to make work. To make life easier, you can sand down the ring around the bottom of the chisel to it slides into the hose easier. Hope that helps
@@mikeatoutlawautospa5590 Just purchased this combination from Home Depot yesterday. Can you post a short video with closeup's of the hose/attachments showing how you made the hose modification?
Awesome review, thanks for the info on the accessory kit and the better quality hose. Can you tell me what is the knife you used to open the box? I need to grab me one of those, and I don't know anything about knives.
You detail for a living. What do you do in the winter, unless your somewhere it’s hot all year around. Other then that you can’t make a living on mobile detailing.
Martha Sanchez I don’t use it to suck up much water. Ridged recommends removing the filter when using it to suck water but the little water that I have sucked has not damaged the filter. YMMV
William Smith I found that the attachments are eighty too big to fit side the hose end. I simply pushed mine in and over the years it’s just sized perfectly to the attachments
Dude you vacuum to fast and you are out of breath. You must be dead tired after every detail you do. Get a tripod or a go pro your making me dizzy with all the moving around your doing.

Great Video!!!👍
for carpet use a brush adapter that will help lift the dust
Great review! I just bought mine brand new last month for $90! If you still have it, hows it still holding up today in 2021?

My vacuum finally died. I figured I would post another video to show what broke, why and what I replaced it with. Video coming soon
How did it die?
Did you buy the Ridgid detailing hose kit or just the separate hose?

Jim Allocco much appreciated. My daily carry is the SOG Escape Knife. Solid knife that’s kinda a jack of all trades knife.
Thanks for reviewing. General tip as a subscriber, speed up the actual work so we can get your comments on the equipment
Todd Allison noted. Don’t do many reviews but thanks for the feedback
@@mikeatoutlawautospa5590 Thank you for your review; its valuable. Just wanted to provide some constructive feedback to better your channel.
Is that an Isuzu trooper?!❤
Do the regular attachments work with the new hose?
Would you be able to send me any links to the attachments on the end of the hose to use the bigger attachments thank you
What part # is the orange hose you got? Is it different from the hose that comes with the car detailing kit upgrade?
STREETFIGHTER50 I believe the kit is SKU: 15324608 which is their 10 foot hose kit. Love it

What do you do with any found money in vehicle?
Probably invests it in the stock market.
Ridgid Cordless...✅
Do you take the filter off when using it in water.
Martha Sanchez I don’t use it to suck up much water. Ridged recommends removing the filter when using it to suck water but the little water that I have sucked has not damaged the filter. YMMV
I just purchased the upgrade but attachment too small or it too big
William Smith I found that the attachments are eighty too big to fit side the hose end. I simply pushed mine in and over the years it’s just sized perfectly to the attachments
I’m getting me a Ridge cordless ...
HA! I spy a Yeasu 8800 under the dash :) 73's!!
That’s good you don’t have to put Money,,
