I was having a bit of a nostalgia moment the other day. Does anyone remember all of the Craftsman wet/dry vacs they used to offer? I used to look at them in the Sears catalogs and after those stopped, we used to get the tool magazines all the time and I would look at them.
They had really industrial style ones that had the big motor on top, the tank sat on a cart like assembly and the attachments were die cast metal. Really well built. I don't know when they discontinued those but it was in the late 90s I'd guess? Plus there were other cool ones like the TOL 16" plastic ones had variable speed and cord reel. There was also a 6 gal or maybe 5 that was all WHITE and had a cord reel too. I actually saw one in the trash several years back. Plus there was a power nozzle like attachment that used wheels to turn a brush sort of like a Regina carpet sweeper. There were steam cleaner kits too that connected to the faucet and you could steam clean carpets or furniture like a Regina machine. |

I remember one of our neighbors had one like this that they used to clean the house with. They had both the 2.5 inch hose and attachments as well as the standard 1 1/4 hose and attachments and the coupler to hook them together.
