This looks just like the metro vac & blow.. main difference I see just by skimming the page is that it's a 3hp vs 4hp Anyone ever use this? Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices
Man. Thanks for that link. When I look at it, I get all warm and cozy inside when I think about the $180 i spent on my metro!!! hehehe j/k . Looks alot like a metro with an awesome price! Nice find. I've got a local harbor freight. They opened it up about 2 weeks ago!
I may go down to the HF store near me and look at one...I want something like this to bring up to the camp..depends on the filtration system..do not want it blowing out the fine dust as some do... Al
:cool2: I agree - i am looking for something more compact and this just may be it! If you check it out please update us on the filter...
Yeah, if you check it out, please let us know. I just checked, the closest HF to me is a1.5 hours away...
Best way to apprais a tool like this is to do a comparison of specifications- here is the vac & blow Specification: Metropolitan Vac N’ Blo™ Vacuum / Blower Unit Peak Motor Power: 4.0 HP Power Requirements- 11.25Amps, 110-120 volts Single-phase, 50-60 Hz VAC Vacuum Power: 95-inch water gauge static lift* Blower: 145,000SCFM @ 28,000FPM Dimensions-17" h x 18" L x 13" w Weight-18 LBS Warranty- 3 year limited Vacuum hose- 10-feet x 11/4-inch ID Spray hose- 10-feet x ¼ -inch ID * Vacuum is measured by the amount of lift stated in ins.wg. Horsepower (HP) is the amount of motor power and the Amp rating is the amount of power drawn. The Vac N'Blo Pro comes with a 12 ft power cord, a 6 foot flexible hose that can be attached to the intake or exhaust side of the vacuum (making it a blower), two 20 inch, extensions, a blower nozzle, Pik-All nozzle, dust brush, crevice tool, carpet/floor attachment, inflator adapter, 4 piece Micro Cleaning Tool Kit and 3 disposable paper bags. All of these attachments allow you to clean up or blow off virtually any area you can imagine.
So let us know the specs on the other vacuum too and that they have been verified. You know the sell 3HP table saws that could never run at that load as well. Anyone try it yet?
