Mah Shop Vac No Worky

Something is wrong with my shop vac. I changed the air filter & now it doesn't vacuum anymore, it's just blows air!!! I think the motor is still good cause I can feel air sucking in through the air filter. Please help! Why does this always happen to me on Fridays!?!

 

Well at least it makes drying the dog a quick job.

 

Mine has an inlet and an outlet. Did you plug the hose in the right spot? I know it sounds silly, but the first time I used my shop vac I plugged the hose in the wrong side and blew shit everywhere.

 

I think you need to swap your gozinto and gozoutta.

 

Do you have the hose in the right spot?

 

Guess I should have added a to the end of my post.

 

My craftsman shop vac motor quit after a year of light use. Got the rigid one, sux way less and sucks way more.

 

Well anyway, no joke this time. The garbage disposal died. I decided to take it apart for the heck of it, got nothing to lose. Was full of crap & rust. Scraped all that shit out & just finished putting it back together. It works again, for now anyway.

 

Time to use that shop vac to suck all that rust up.

 

Is that one of those Klein chipper/scraper/chisel/prybar multi tools?

 

Why yes, yes it is!

Funny, I actually found that like 10 yrs ago, the only Klein tool I own. Was on my way to lunch driving & saw it far up ahead. I stopped in the middle of traffic & my buddy said "what the heck are you doing?". Opened the door to grab it & my buddy was like "oh ok". He's a tool guy too.

 

I used to have a 35 mile commute by bicycle. I built up a toolbox out of road-find tools For a long time my most-used pair of pliers was a pair I found in a gutter in Japan.
