    Versatile Dusting Power for Any RIDGID Shop Vac
    The RIDGID Dual Rotating Dusting Brush is a must-have for any woodworking setup. Its flexible 1-7/8 in. to 2-1/2 in. compatibility makes it perfect if you own multiple RIDGID shop vacs, it fit both of mine seamlessly. The rotating brush design lifts fine dust effortlessly without scratching surfaces, making cleanup quick and efficient. Durable, versatile, and super convenient.

    Innovative swivel design with excellent versatility!
    Another excellent wet/dry vacuum accessory by RIDGID. Their vacuums are among the best available, and this attachment is no exception. I especially appreciate the rotating feature, it’s like having two nozzles in one, and it has quickly become my go-to nozzle for just about everything. With 10-foot ceilings, I usually dread climbing a ladder to clean dusty vent registers. With this nozzle, however, the task is effortless. The swiveling design provides impressive versatility and can be used for a wide range of applications, including baseboards, vehicle floorboards, ceiling and wall corners (for cobwebs), grout cleaning, and even removing damp sawdust stuck to the floor. I also like that the brush head (shoe) is replaceable, and the included stiff-bristle attachment works exceptionally well at removing dog hair from vehicle carpeting. Another standout feature is that RIDGID designed this nozzle to fit both common wet/dry vacuum hose sizes (1-7/8” to 2-1/2”), rather than limiting it to their own systems. I frequently switch between hose sizes depending on the task, so this compatibility is very convenient. The swivel mechanism holds firmly in whatever position is selected, straight or angled. However, the brush head/shoe can detach somewhat easily during aggressive use. I’ve found that using painter’s tape helps keep it securely in place. Replacement brush heads/shoes are also readily available at my local Home Depot, which adds to the overall convenience.

    Versatile and well-constructed, and easy bristle fitting replacement
    This is a handy brush accessory for RIDGID shop vacuums that have 1-7/8" or 2-1/2" hose fittings. For that matter, it will work on any shop vacuum with those sizes, and for the old Craftsman model that used a 2-1/4" hose. The brush bristles are short and firm and will not get clogged easily, and that piece twists off for easy replacement. Very happy with this product

    An excellent choice for RIDGID wet/dry vacuums
    The RIDGID NXT Dual Locking Rotating Dusting Brush is a versatile yet simple cleaning tool designed for RIDGID wet/dry vacuums. It can also be used with other brand hoses if your in a pinch. The brush accessory is part of the new NXT "Swap & Lock" system, which allows you to easily switch and customize attachments with various brush "shoes." This makes it easy to adjust the tool for different cleaning tasks. The brush includes a hard bristle shoe that is works best on tough surfaces like dirt, mud, and grime. It can be used in various places, such as shelves, tabletops, and car interiors. The brush is compatible with both 1-7/8 inch and 2-1/2 inch hoses and wands, ensuring it works with most RIDGID shop vacs. Attaching the brush is quick and easy. You simply align the locking tab on your hose with the locking teeth on the brush and push until it clicks into position. There are two connection points based hose size, making it simple to switch between different setups. My favorite feature is the rotating head. The brush can rotate up to 180 degrees and lock into either a straight or angled position. This design helps you clean those hard-to-reach areas and the brush nor head will fall off because its locked. Pros: -Multiple brush shoes can be purchased separately - The head swivels 180° (straight to 90°) in either direction - The brush attachment locks onto the hose

    Stiff Brush with New-style Locking Collar
    This brush works as promised. The head rotates from straight to right-angle snapping securely into either position. I find it easiest to remove the brush end before rotating the head position because the brush twists on or off very easily. The handle lock works well, just push it on and twist. I have never had trouble with shop vac attachments falling off, but sometimes they grip too well. It can be difficult to remove the accessories from the hose or wand. This locking mechanism makes it easy, just twist to unlock. This brush does not replace my old dusting brush that has long, soft bristles. Instead, I use this brush for jobs where I used to use my small floor nozzle or my car nozzle. The short rigid bristles help get debris unstuck from the ground and out of shallow grooves. Also, the bristles allow air to pass so it won’t grab onto a thin sheet. I still use my old, long-, soft--bristled, dusting brush to clean along the bottom of the wall or over the edge of a table or on carved wood where bristle softness is important. I haven’t purchased the other two ends available for this brush, but both the cross brush and the rubber nubs could be useful. One drawback to watch out for: I have an old, smaller diameter hose with unknown origins whose fittings slide into my old attachments but won’t work with this new brush because there are ribs on the inside surface of the ends. My shopvac has 2-½” accessories that slip over the outside of the hose or wand. The locking mechanism for this brush end goes both inside and outside of the hose or wand end. This new locking mechanism requires at least ¾” of smooth surface on the inside of the mating end.

    Works great for entry rugs and car mats
    This vacuum attachment was great at cleaning entry rugs and car mats. It worked easily with my older rigid vacuum. The part can rotate straight or at an angle which was my preference as I started to use it. I would have preferred an easier way to rotate the part which was a bit difficult but the bristle part rotated off too easily which added to the difficulty. It’s good at vacuuming low pile carpets but might have been simpler to use without the adjustable features.

    A great attachment!
    I had lost an attachment for our shop vac and hoped this would work well. It’s extremely sturdy, the opening with the bristles is larger than my previous attachment and the bristles themselves are very stiff. The stiffness of the bristles has made it much easier to vacuum up caked on debris , mud, etc. when my current shop vac needs replacing I will definitely buy from this company. I’m very impressed with both the quality and design.

    Versatile and rugged multi-fit tool
    Very versatile brush for your Ridgid vacuums. Fits both 1-7/8" and 2-1/2" hoses and pipes. The bristles are very stiff for heavy shop work such as cleaning tool beds and work benches. With just a flick of your wrists, you can convert it to a straight brush instead of the angle. The bristles are replaceable and there is a good variety of different styles to choose from depending on your needs. I think this will be a welcome addition to your shop.

    Great for detail vacuuming
    This Ridgid NXT dual locking rotating dusting brush is great for detail vacuuming, in our case auto interior surfaces and low pile carpet surfaces. The brush seams perfect for use on fabric furniture and the head rotates, which is great when you need to get into tighter spaces. If it starts to get grungy you can remove the brush head for cleaning. We wouldn’t use it on an area that is prone to scratching; the bristles of the brush are soft yet stiff and could possibly scratch black plastic. We use it with the cordless NXT vacuum, the WD4070 with a 1-7/8 in. hose and the 16 gallon with the 2-1/2 in. hose.

    Good for car cleaning...
    This shop vac accessory is a helpful one to have for some of the more dusty jobs. The item is well-made, and the quality is very good. Not sure if you can tell from the image, but my shop vac is not "Rigid" brand, but it still fits perfectly and works great. This is one of the best tips for the shop vac if you want to clean the car's floor mats. Overall, great product.
