hey guys welcome back to the channel so recently i was watching a tj hunt video and he was upgrading
his garage with a few essentials and stuff and i decided i needed one of them which was a kind of a
wall vacuum or a vacuum mounted on the wall with a really long hose i was looking up the vacuum that
he was using and it used to be like 180 but all of a sudden it seemed like after he made his video
that thing shot up to 220 or 230 so i decided to kind of make my own wall vacuum using the 45
craftsman vacuum i have here this is like a 12 gallon six horsepower max vacuum this thing is
a pretty powerful vacuum it's got a great suction and i got it for 45 dollars like way before the
pandemic from ace i think it's back up to like over a hundred dollars now for this vacuum but
what i had it for was a steel but i decided i can actually convert this thing
into kind of a wall vacuum or stationary vacuum using a really long hose so i can
actually go vacuum the car out in the driveway or inside the garage so today we got abby right here
out in the garage with us kind of helping me out say hi abby hi hi to the camera hi
so i've got this hose set right here i got from amazon and it came with all these
little vacuum attachments this is like to get the between the seats and the crevices
this is a some kind of mount oh this is the hose mounting bracket which i won't be using
it came with a couple of adapters but it didn't fit my actual craftsman adapter so i had to pick
up this separate adapter because i had to measure exactly what the inner and outer diameters were
so what i'm going to do today is i'm going to mount this on the wall using one of my hose
brackets my metal hose brackets and then we'll see how well this sucks so over here
we're gonna mount that hose reel right here on the wall so i could wrap that hose up here
and then i've got my outlets right here where i'm gonna be able to plug this in and i'm gonna
just leave this on the floor here because it's a good spot i can still move this out in and out
if i need it to with the cord but i just want to be able to just leave this here and use the
long hoses to get wherever i need to go so we got this metal hose reel here and i'm going to mount
it right here to the drywall luckily when i was doing my shelves here i actually found the beam
where i'm screwed into so we just screw into that same beam today i'll let abby
help me out right now daddy aim it right here we'll put it right there hold it right here
all right so now that we got it mounted securely to there we're going to just
wrap that hose in plug it up to this guy right here and then test the suction out on the car
man this hose is like a winding mess that keeps on getting all tangled up but the
good thing about it is it twists and it's very sturdy and strong so it's not a big issue
a little hose reel i came with i might end up just attaching like that so it actually has another
ledge to go out to let's go ahead and add a bolt and a nut and this will hold that in
so this power tech adapter i bought which fits the craftsman hose pretty good doesn't fit onto
this one really well it's like a hair too small so i had to put some electrical tape right here
to actually keep it on so hopefully this stays and this rig works the other side
fits solidly onto the craftsman hose
so syntek hose which is a 50 footer that i bought it's a little bit excessive since i
have this big old driveway right here probably very useful for what i'm going to use it for plus
using it in my big garage here too it's gonna make it easy for me to pull that hose anywhere i need
it when i wanna use this big vacuum instead of lugging this vacuum everywhere and finding a power
outlet and then this thing comes with this big old long wand here and the tip the tip right here just
slides right off the side you put it right here you can use this for the dashes and the vents
you use this for like your seats and your floors and this gets into the crevices like between seats
then it also comes with this really long is one of the longest ones i've seen but it's good for
getting in between seats and hard to reach areas and it's flexible too so we'll go test it out
so
so i was looking around and i discovered that fitting that actually comes with the syntec hose
fits perfectly in here i didn't even think about this when i initially got this thing
to go straight into the vacuum instead of using the big hose and stepping it down i could do
it either way if i needed to be longer which i probably don't because look how long this thing
is i use that power tech one that i bought or i could just go use that one straight into there
i'll have both options as far as that goes and one other thing is if you guys ever needed to
use this as a blower put it on the exhaust port of your vacuum and you plug it in there
and it becomes a little low pressure blower so you can actually blow dust and other stuff on
your floors out it's not that strong compared to like a leaf blower but it'll do the job if
you needed to look who decided to join us outside that didn't help what were you doing on the video
you weren't helping daddy vacuum
gone yet anyways guys thanks for watching all the way in i hope you got some useful information
on this video creating your own like wall mount or stationary vacuum with a long hose i opted for the
50 foot hose i probably could have done with the 25 the only thing is with like the longer the hose
you probably need a strong vacuum that's a really strong vacuum and it still gets pretty decent
suction anyways guys remember on these types of projects and diy things if i can do it you guys
can do it too that's why i make these videos so you guys can kind of learn and figure things out
i want to thank you guys for watching all the way to the end and i'll talk to you guys next time
you
