Hers a couple. I picked up the muffler for the exhaust port. It helps quiet it when you use it inside. The motor comes off to use as a blower. Snow you can really clean it with the motor out of the way.

Yes it was used. Has an accident this summer, I left it behind my truck, I went to pull out in the street and almost ran it over. I picked up a new hose and I bought the wrong one, I gotta take it back, it’s a smaller dispatch one for doing your car. I don’t know, sounds kinda strange to use a smaller hose to vac out your car. Also, when you use it as a blower, the reducer tip won’t fit on the end, don’t get that either.

You should use that reducer tip on the blower but you just can't have it on if you also include the wands to the blower. It's also strange too but that's just how they were designed to be used. Before you go out and get the correct hose for your Ridgid, consider looking into these pro grade hoses. I personally like these hoses the best. More durable, flexible, and less static dust builds up on the hose when you're using it for like saw dust. The only downfalls with these is they are heavier, more expensive, and would slightly lose for airflow.

I
Have a craftsman shop vac with a detachable blower. If your blower has anywhere near the power mine does I'm guessing 150-175 cfm. If you put a reducer on it blows off. The underside mine has 3 screws holding a filter in place. If your motor gets bogged down clean the filter.
I also have a bag in my shop vac. It seems to have more power with the bag. My camera is not working on my phone it's a 12 gallon 5.0 hp bought from ace hardware a few years ago. | ||

I just use it for around the house, patio clean up I do a lot. Some drywall dust, so I get the bluish washable filters. The orig hose is ready to go. It almost has a hole in it.
The shop!I work at has one with a suction gauge on, it’s nice, tells you when to clean the filter. Another one, a rigid has a broken switch. It’s on all the time. I need to fix that. I put a new power switch on my bisected upright, 10$ at Banks. It’s red instead of black, but it’s fine. Rigid must make a replacement switch. Anyone ever put one in? | ||
