Description
The CRAFTSMAN 20 Gallon Wet/Dry Vac, featuring our most powerful 6.5 Peak HP motor, is the ideal solution for tackling extra-large cleanups around the garage, shop and jobsite that need the most power and capacity. This shop vacuum features on-board hose storage plus accessory and power cord organizers that help eliminate unneeded hassle and reduce overall storage space. Also included is a large 2-1/2 in. diameter vacuum hose with added Dual-Flex that resists kinks and crushing. For added versatility, the blowing port directs high speed exhaust air through the hose giving you the ability to go from cleaning up from a renovation to blasting yard waste from the deck. Qwik Lock Filter Fastening System allows for quick and easy wet dry vacuum filter changes. This wet dry vac also comes equipped with an extra-large drain that quickly empties the tank of liquids. Gallons indicated reflect drum volume, not necessarily collection capacity, actual capacity dependent upon type of debris collected, condition of filter and other factors. Peak horsepower represents a level at or below the maximum horsepower output of an electric motor tested in a laboratory using a dynamometer.
