Very cool find! I'm wondering if those brackets are easy to find or if the brackets were sold with all Split Seconds regardless?
But I guess you would charge up the hand vac by itself, then when you were ready to vacuum, you would clip it onto the Kirby in case you found any debris to suck up that the Kirby could not reach in a situation where you didn't have the need to pull out the entire Kirby's toolkit. It is a really weird and awkward idea which is probabaly why it fell off the face of the earth. I assume you could use both at once if you used a 2-way power tap and plugged the Kirby and the Split Second into it and then ran the Kirby on an extension cord, but yeah that would still be really awkward. Thanks for showing this ad, HonestJoe! I will have to keep an eye out for this, since I do have a Heritage II myself and like hand vacs. | ||

That’s a very nice H2! Congrats! I’ve yet to come across one that included the Split Second, and I’d love to see one with such a setup. Makes me think of the H1s that had the Turbo Groomer tool. I’ve looked everywhere and can not find one. I actually found out about that tool when I was Googling videos on certain attachments... There’s a guy demonstrating the use of the Turbo Groomer — in the background you can hear people shouting at him something along the lines of “why are you vacuuming the bathroom?!” 😂
Anyhoo, if anyone reading this has (and is willing to sell) or know where to obtain a Turbo Groomer, I’m all ears! | ||

Flowbee!
Oh gosh, I remember the flowbee! I also remember the commercial for it... if you sent in a money order, it was addressed to my home town, Albuquerque, NM. I used to think it was so cool that I was living in the city people got their flowbee from, lol!
Anyhoo, yeah it was a super short lived attachment, but honestly when you look at electric beard trimmers, a lot of them have a suction feature... I think Kirby was onto something but the inconvenience of having to attach your trimmer to the vacuum is something I totally understand. I would like to have one though. It’d be neat to give it a spin... here’s a link to a video I found of some random guy using it... target="_blank">m.youtube.com/watchQUESTIONMARKR... CLICK HERE TO GO TO hmc1981's LINK | ||
