About This Product

RIDGID makes cleaning a breeze with specialized RIDGID wet dry shop vac accessories such as the 1-7/8 in. extension wand. When connected to a RIDGID wet dry vacuum, the extension wand accessory adds additional inches to the overall cleaning reach, specifically designed for floor and overhead cleaning. The 22 in. long shop vac wand extends from the hose and adapts to any RIDGID 1-7/8 in. vacuum nozzle, adding flexibility to your cleaning needs. With this 1-7/8 in. RIDGID extension wand accessory, versatility is unmatched and tough jobs just got easier - it's precision cleaning at its best. Plus, the locking tab on the end of the wand creates a secure connection so that the RIDGID shop vacuum attachments don't pull loose during use. Just click and go to take on any size mess, anywhere. RIDGID wet dry vacs also offers other shop vac attachments such as the crevice tool (VT1702) for tight spaces, the floor brush (VT1714) for large surface areas and other more niche accessories. RIDGID has you covered. Pro Tip: Add a RIDGID filter to a RIDGID shop vac to maintain the power of the vac and extend wet dry vac life. Add a RIDGID dust bag to the shop vacuum to help keep the wet dry vac drum clean and for quick pickups.

                This is a great attachment for multiple brands in the 1 7/8” size range. Well-made and even has a retention clip. The clip will probably become brittle over time and eventually break off, especially with regular aggressive use - but I am still quite satisfied.

                Attachments are not universal with Rigid
                I have a model WD-4070 and need a carpet attachment with rolling wheels but the one you sell is not compatible with my model. How can this be? Your accessories need to be universal.

                Response from RIDGID Wet/Dry Vac Customer SupportMay 5, 2021
                Hello RIDGID Customer, Thanks for writing a review. We have the Carpet and Hard Floor Nozzle Accessory (VT2530). However, you will need to have an adapter to make it work with your WD4070 and that is included on the 3-piece adapter set (VT1755). You may get this through Home Depot stores or online. If you need guidane on how to connect these, you may contact our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com and we'll be glad to assist you.

                  It’s rare but annoying when the nozzle comes adrift during vacuuming and doubly so if the nozzle is a bit beyond arms reach at the time so this range of locking accessories for Ridgid’s popular 2 ½ inch wet and dry shop vac’s is very useful to have. The primary component is the extension wand with the locking mechanism itself which is simple but strong and effective. Made of high quality plastic the twenty inch wand is fully compatible with the non locking wand pieces so it fits the existing range of Ridgid shop vac’s without the need for any modification of the original vacuum tubes and wand extensions. In fact, there is no reason why these locking accessories will not fit any brand of 2 ½ inch vacuums.

                  I received the 2-1/2 in. Locking extension wand Accessory for Wet/Dry Vacs. Now I can count on at least one nozzle from falling off. My older Ridge does not have a locking set up. This new ward still fits my hose very well. It seem like every time I try to get in a tight spot the end would get caught and fall off, well not anymore. I'm glad how well it works easy to put on and off.

                  What can I say? It fits on my Wet/Dry Vacuum, allowing me to reach higher places. It is also nice to have an extension wand so I can vacuum the floor and stand upright instead off bending over and straining my back.

                    Replacement extension wand for my 15+ year old Rigid brand shop vac. Home Depot carries the exact replacement part. Shipped it to my local store within a day or two. Fast easy pickup for me. Great process!
