Product Description

On the job or at Home, Clean up Quick with the Craftsman Wet/Dry Vac

After you’ve cranked the last bolt, hammered the last nail and driven the last screw, spending hours cleaning up is the last thing you want to do. That’s why Craftsman packed so much power into this 6 horse power wet/dry vac. The perfect jobsite accessory, it’s light enough to run from corner to corner fast, while packing enough punch to pull up moisture matted sawdust, baked-on dirt and even loose ball bearings. And if the job calls for sucking up water after a flood or plumbing job gone wrong, no worries, this vac is ready to get it clean and done.

Featuring a pair of extensions, a long flexible hose and three heads to choose from, whether you’re cleaning out the car trunk, prepping a boat for summer or blasting leaves from a garden path, you’re equipped to get it done right. Ready for anything, the Craftsman wet/dry vac features a forgiving polypropylene build that stands up to bumps, kicks and dings and an insulated 20 foot cord that’s ready to stretch across jobsite or driveway, giving you the reach you need without switching outlets. A solid addition to any tool kit, this vac packs power, portability and a rugged design you can count on to deliver when you need it. Toss it in your truck, roll it into you shop and get the job done right, with a tool you can trust.

  • 6 horse power wet/dry vac includes: Two extensions, three heads, an air filter and hose
  • Combines an easy to move medium capacity with plenty of reach for any job
  • Reverses into powerful blower to blast dirt, leaves and sawdust
  • Connects easily with miter saws, table saws, band saws and more to keep your shop clean and running smooth

Excellent vac
I purchased this wet/dry vac during a Sears craftsman club sale. Paid like $75 for it. I really don't use it for wet service. I use it to clean up my woodshop, catch cuttings from various saws, clean up the patio, etc. I love it. It has plenty of suction, even sucking up small rocks, screws, etc. One recommendation: When you buy it, get a second filter. Then when you have to empty the vac, install the new clean filter and then use the vac to suck clean the old filter. From this point forward, you just alternate filters using the vac to clean up the one that just came out of the machine. Makes cleanup a snap and eliminated the dust problem when you have to bang the dirty filter on something to get it clean.

Piece of garbage
The hose kinks at connection point. NO BAG AVAILABLE HOW VAPID IS THAT. I am still miffed no bag it has to be the only shop vac that has no bag avaiable for it. Just the lousy filter that comes with it. Would NEVER buy this again.

Great bang for the buck, especially on sale.

We purchased this unit to replace a 16 gallon 6.5 hp Craftsman we've had for 10 years and just recently died. This one is a little bit weaker in suction but it is also .5 hp less. For whomever said there is no bag available for this unit, you are mistaken. The dry debris bag is Craftsman part #17895 but the bag from our other craftsman, Part #17893 also works. It just doesn't come with one. They are about $11 for a 3 pack. I think it's a great value and you can't go wrong with Cratftsman reliability.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Good buy, *********, (saved fuel and time), works GREAT

Not much more to tell-bought my first tools from Sears and am still buying from Sears 50 years later. (by the way-the vacuum I still have is 40 years old and still going strong) This vac was for the wife.

Wet-Dry VAC in Review

Positives: Has a long cord so no extension cords are generally needed. Runs well; not subject to overturning. Negatives: There were only two nozzle attachments that came with the Vac; if other attachments are needed they can be ordered; seemed kind of chintzy. In hindsight, the unit is way to big for a home/garage application.

Great machine !!

Works great and sucks like a street corner date. For once , the wheel stance is wide enough to be very stable and rolls over everything with ease. Twice the vac that it replaced and it was a Sears Vac also....although it was 25 years old.

I would recommend this product to a friend.
