Should I have got in this.

It’s a Milwaukee canister 20 gallon I believe. It has one part of the handle broken but can be easily fixed and duct tape on the hose. Runs great but little rusty inside.

You could get it clean up the outside and inside put a new hose and use it as your own mega shopvac for a while sell it later be interesting to own i think .

Motor will likely need work based on the state of it but these are always good for the garage and cleaning out the car.

 

[thevacomaticiec]

I second your comment motor will need service and a cleaning

 

[oldcrankman]

Not sure if these are rare

But i pass up the offer because my grandma said it has cement in it and i checked and it doesnt. The hose was blowing out air and i couldn't find a reverse switch on it.

Its

It's a milwaukee it's solid. Is buy it.

There's no reverse switch. The hose is in the blower port and should be in the port on the red drum of the vacuum.

I might be wrong, but that looks like it was made by Shop Vac. I believe they make the wet/dry vacuums for Dayton as well.

Used Wet/Dry vacs are a dime a dozen. I would recommend a Ridgid at your local Home Depot. You don't know how much life is left on the motor since it was used in a concrete application. That dust is the Achilles heel to bearings.

I have always....

been concerned with really vintage "shop vac's" because you never know what the person vacuumed up into it. Like for instance, Asbestos.

 

[lesinutah]

How

Much was the vacuum?

 

[oldcrankman]

I wanna say $10 or $12, if not $15.

I think
