Rigid Blower Vac

I've had it about a year now, and it's still very impressive.
 
Congratulations on the purchase, both tools will come in hand though mind the cord when drying the vehicle with the blower always have it over your shoulder
 
I also have a Ridgid vac and I love it.👍🏽
You should look into the Car Detailing Kit that Ridgid sells.

Yup. Since you're already working with a 1.25" hose you'll really like the upgraded orange hose. It's 3' longer and more flexible. Easy to work with. The 2 brushes [1 for carpet & upholstery + 1 for dash & soft fabric tops] are great. Especially the carpet 1. The dash brush may be a bit too stiff for most dashboards. [you'll have to make that call yourself] The crevice tool is great, however mine already developed a crack on the rubber from bending too much, I'll have to see how I fix it. The claw is weak, I hardly ever use it.
Cool thing about the kit is you can attach it to your existing hose if you want and make a total of 17' of hose coming from your vac.

Awesome. I'll order one.
 
I have the larger rigid. I use it all over the place, cleaned out basement, stripped floor and sucked up liquid, etc. I even got the auto kit and it is great, just hard to move around and is bulky (vacuum not kit)
 
My Rigid ShopVac is well over ten years old and still works and looks like new.

It is one of the six HP models and does anything I ask of it.

The best move I made was to buy three extension hoses so I can roam 20 feet from it. That also has the nice side effect of keeping the noise at bay too.

I had a Sears Vac before this and it only lasted three years before the motor burned out.

I picked up this Rigid 4gal blower vac a couple of weeks ago and I love it. It's very powerful and the blower works great. It's small and it stores and travels well, and the long extension cord is great.

I have the same one. Love the size and power. I've used the blower function once and it worked well. Great vac for mobile detailing. My HD doesn't stock them anymore which surprises me.
 
wow I bought WD4070 few months ago..

Wish I knew about this model D:

I use my shop vac for drying process and detectable blower would make my life so much easier

Me too, I just got the WD4070 about a week ago!

I was wondering if using the blower port on ours would be okay or if it would blow fine particulate onto the paint while drying?

What's your experience been with this?
 
It's a good idea,but deosnt compete with a metro sidekick.when using rigid make sure there is no water in tank,otherwise you will be blowing typhoid all over the car.

Very first thing I do is throw the filter out,you get more power and it relieves the stench smell.
