16 Gallon 5.0 Peak HP NXT Wet Dry Vac HD1640

HD1640

The RIDGID 16 Gal. 5.0 peak horsepower NXT wet dry shop vacuum is for large, heavy-duty projects and offers maximum capacity while resisting dents, rust, and corrosion. This vac includes shop vac attachments to customize to the job - 2 extension wands to extend reach and utility nozzle to clean large areas. These attachments are 2-1/2 in. diameter and features locking technology for a snug fit while cleaning. Onboard storage provides spots for the 20 ft. cord and the included attachments while the comfort grip handles help carry drum for easy lifting. Also, this wet dry vacuum can quickly transform into a blower by using the hose in the blower port - perfect for removing leaves and other outdoor material from walkways, porches, and decks. When picking up waterborne debris, the built-in drain at the bottom easily dispels the liquid so no lifting the filled vac. Included wet dry vac general debris filter (VF4000) captures general dirt. Pro Tip: Add a replacement RIDGID wet dry vacuum filter (VF4000, VF5000, VF6000, VF7000 or VF8000) to a RIDGID shop vac to maintain the power of the vac and extend vacuum life. Add a dust collection bag (VF3502, VF3602, VF3702) to help with quick cleanup and disposal.
