One of the most useful tools I own (and I own a lot!) My wife got me a micro cleaning set for Christmas two years ago. Since then, I’ve found it is one of the handiest tools in my shop. Simply put, it makes my shop vac much more useful. I can get into tight places and concentrate the suction power of my vac in a way that I couldn’t possibly do otherwise. Before changing the spark plugs in my truck, I used the micro cleaning tools to suck out all the dirt and debris around the old plugs, which otherwise would have fallen into to the engine. I’ve used it to clean out tools and electronics equipment, and I have found it works great for doing a thorough cleaning of my car’s interior. I’ve even used it to clean all the gunk out my chainsaws! I’ve been so happy with it that my wife is giving kits to her father and two brother-in-laws for Christmas this year.
Helps Clean Itsy Bitsy Crevices and Crannies To use this you need Shop-Vac 906-85-00 2.5″ to 1.25″ Conversion Unit. Imagine the suction of your Shop-Vac pulling through the tip the size of a pencil! That gives you an idea of the cleaning ability you can get with this add on kit. We had broken glass from a shattered windshield of our van – in the heater ducts, the recessed speaker enclosures, EVERYWHERE! We used the micro kit in conjunction with our regular size Shop Vac and were able to get all of the glass from these hard to reach places. You can regulate the suction by how close or far away you hold it from the item to be cleaned. Extraordinarily functional for all kinds of needs.
Not just for the mini shop vac… Kit contains:6 pcs 1 1/4in(1.25″) adapter(6″ length), 1 straight wand(5″) 1 curved wand( about 4″ length to the bend, 5″total), crevice tool(3 1/2″), 1 round brush (3″) 1 angled oval brush( about 2 3/4″length; brush head is 1 1/4/1.25″widthI got this set to go with the mini Shop Vac All around EZ vac. I also got it because I am a sucker for cool packaging, vibrant colors,shiny things and things made in miniature versions- miniature flashlights, pasta- especially if it’s small and oddly shaped- yep- I’m the demographic they market this stuff for. That said- I love this set.It’s well made and I keep finding new places to use it on. Of course I couldn’t wait for the Shop vac to arrive to use it, so I tried it with my Black & Decker Auto Pivot vac, and it works great. Then I went all “Mad scientist” and thought, surely there must be somewhere else I can use it….The canister vac from Sears was the next guinea pig. I took off the straight wand and power head parts and attatched it to the metal end of the flex hose, and agin, it worked. I cleaned the pc keyboards, the Playstation, the a/c vents and the fridge coils so I could get a more concentrated clean then when I used just the regular vacuum hose. I will add however, that I did notice the performance light indicator lit up on my Sears vac, which I assume is just because of the smaller concentration of suction- it thinks there is a clog. It didn’t shut down , and again I like shiny things,so I can live with that- ala the person who hears a car noise and turns up the radio( I would never do that by the way) Oh, and yes it works great with the actual Shop Vac as well.I would also mention, that an earlier review said to try WalMart for better pricing. Thanks to that review, I did just that and verified it to be in stock at the local store, and bought it there to avoid S&H because right now, there is no Prime offered for this kit here. In my store, the kit was not located in the vacuum aisles, but rather in the tool aisle, because that is where they sell the shop vacs.The brushes have been especially helpful, but I’ve had uses for the wands as well- like under that fridge, and on the sides of the front seats in the car.They seem about as sturdy as $12.00 plastic could be expected to be, and I don’t plan on throwing them across the room anytime soon, so I think if one just accidentally dropped them a few times, they’d still be ok. I will update the review should there be any major change in performance/ my opinion, but for now, I think this kit is one of my favorite and most surprisingly versatile purchases as of late.
