Re: 1st "Documented" Metro MasterBlaster Catastrophe
By the end of the week if I have time I will look into making some kind of retainer that will prevent the nozzle from falling off something a long the lines as a safety wire .

This is great feedback for the company as it can make them aware of a problem so they can address it. David Stern from Metro-Vac is a good friend of mine, I'll send him the link to your thread.

I spend a great deal of time caring for my products thank you very much.
Testy!? That wasn't directed AT you as much as it was a general summary of what it might take to keep this tool running smooth.

I am not Testy as one could tell from my posting on this forum, however I do not think you should have to 'RIG' a $310.00 dedicated car dryer for safe operation. Especially considering that mine is only 4 months old.

Re: 1st "Documented" Metro MasterBlaster Catastrophe
I don't know, this vac is kinda pricey, even on VIP. I wouldn't expect an issue of this sort. I realize they only invented vacuum cleaners yesterday. Oh no, a wikipedia search reveals vacuum cleaners were invented a century ago. Vacuum cleaners are priced from the sublime to the utterly ridiculous with this one falling somewhere in between. I'd just expect a lil more quality control.
But, that's indicitive of modern factory quality control. Trying to fine tune their process, someone in management or engineering listens to some idiot trying to save a nickel and the whole thing goes to hell in a handbasket.

Re: 1st "Documented" Metro MasterBlaster Catastrophe
folks this is not an issue/defect/problem... End pieces are designed this way on most all coiled hoses... Take for example an extractor with a wire coiled rubber hose... The end unscrews from it... There are many reasons for this...
If the hose gets a tear in it the hose can be shortened to that point and the end be screwed back on
if the tip gets damaged it is easy to replace opposed to replacing the whole hose at a much higher cost
look at any commercial carpet cleaning rig... The hose ends are removable it is a "universal design" for ease of replacement...
Just check the tightness of it before you use it... Simple as that...
As others have said just a dab of silicone on the end of the hose before you screw the tip on it will make it so you don't have to check it all the time... Not a huge worry...

I don't believe this is a QC issue. It's a standard design on many shop vac units priced high and low. And to the other guy, I bow out. Your not testy and you have cheaply made machine, peace.
