If you're just vacuuming up dust and small particles, your "6 HP" (haha) vacuum should probably be OK even with the long hose length and smaller diameter. If you're mainly picking up heavy debris...
I have a Brinkman dual xenon, which has been dead for some time (won't hold a charge). It died over a period of several months, gradually giving practically no usage time for each apparently full...
I have one, and looked at the same choices you are looking at. The Vapor Chief seemed to give a good combination of quality and performance for the money. I'm not sure why there is so little...
Just use a grout sponge, available at HDepot or other hardware stores. A 3-pack is under 5 bucks and they last forever. Each sponge can be cut into 3 equal pieces, and if you want to cut a curve in...
Hi Evan, the UWW+ wouldn't be going in the extractor, just in the injection sprayer. The injection sprayer has a concentrated mix of UWW+ and has a mixing valve that mixes for example a 4:1 ratio...
I can’t be the first person to think about using your extractor for double duty as a waterless/rinseless wash pre-spray, to avoid the “touching” step of a rinseless wash. And if someone...
I was going to try and use UWW+ in an injection sprayer, fed by the 250 psi pump on my extractor. The extractor has a 2000W heater which I can either leave off or turn on, and I wondered if anyone...
As best I could figure, that's the going rate for the autoclavable polypropylene 2.5 gallon bottles with spigots. $200 may be a little high, but all the others I found were well over $100 per bottle....
For whatever reason, the price of the distilled water I buy has gone up about 20% this year. Not that it's a big amount of money or anything, I'm just wondering why, and if this is happening...
It's a crap shoot whether a given customer house has a readily accessible 20A circuit that is not being used for anything else, versus having two separate 15A circuits not being used for anything...
Probably right but in theory it could be year-month-date and was sitting in a warehouse for a while. It's ambiguous. Just the fact that two people can interpret it differently says it's a crappy...
Can't be an LS6 if it has factory air. Factory air was not allowed on solid lifter engines (to include the L78). So if it's the original factory 454 and has factory air, it's an LS5, and it would I...
I pre-clean many of my towels in a 5-gallon bucket, especially the really dirty/greasy ones. If I have under about 6-8 MF towels or so, which is too small a load and drives the...
I've mentioned this before, most recently here:

If you spray some adhesive dissolver on before you begin sawing (so that you're sawing with adhesive remover mixed in there as well) the sawing can be easier.
Thanks Bob, so I guess I'd run it without the filter in most cases. It looks like the only foam wet-vac filter that Ridgid sells doesn't fit this model anyway.
This seems to be a popular small-sized wet-dry vac around here. Do you need to buy a separate foam filter to use it as a wet vac or is it ready to go, out of the box?
Thanks. Turns out it's not as impressive on brass pressure fittings as on generic steel bolts/nuts. Maybe because the threads fit tighter to start with? I had to let it soak in for a couple hours and...
Anyone ever use PB Blaster on stuck brass fittings? I've only ever used it on iron/steel parts before. The can doesn't say anything about brass so I thought I'd ask.
One thing to add about the focus on technique to achieve pad rotation for long-throw DA polishers is that even with zero rotation, the orbital motion alone still provides abrasive action. Even more...
Does anyone have a link to an "encyclopedia of brass fittings" of the type that would be used in an extractor? I'm trying to figure out what some of the fittings in my extractor (beyond the simple...
