HD1640

The RIDGID 16 Gallon 5.0 Peak Horsepower NXT Wet Dry Vacuum was built for pros ready to take their projects to the next level. This vac comes with a 7 ft. hose, general debris filter, NXT Max utility nozzle, and 2 extension wands. With more power, enhanced durability and a design engineered for the pro user, this high-performance vacuum is part of the most powerful line of wet dry vacs RIDGID has ever made. Its redesigned scroll technology gives the shop vac an increase in power, suction, and lift. The 16 Gal. NXT vac includes 2-1/2 in. locking accessories that lock onto a wand or hose for uninterrupted cleaning and the 2-1/2 in. diameter size resists clogs. Hose storage keeps the hose neatly onboard and accessory storage space at the top of each caster gives quick access to attachments. Two locking extension wands extend reach while the utility nozzle offers a rocking feature that allows you to pickup debris on a medium-sized surface area. The blower port adds versatility and allows you to use the hose to blow leaves, grass clippings and more. This vac features our patented Qwik Lock Filter that makes installing or removing your wet dry vac filter quick, easy, and secure. Pro Tip: Add a RIDGID shop vac filter (VF4000, VF5000, VF6000, VF7000, VF8000 sold separately) to a RIDGID shop vac to maintain the power of the vac and extend vacuum life. Dust collection bags (VF3502, VF3602, VF3702 sold separately) are also available for quick cleanups and disposal.
