About This Product

Swap. Lock. Clean...with the RIDGID NXT Max locking floor tool for RIDGID wet dry vacuums that use 2-1/2 in. accessories. Part of the NXT accessory swap & lock attachment system - an upgraded ecosystem of customizable wet dry vac accessory tools with swappable shoes, this shop vac floor tool lets you clean shop floors, jobsites, garages, and basements. The Max floor tool adapts to your needs, changing debris pickup and where you can clean based on the type of shoe attached to it. The floor tool has an upgraded rocking design, allowing for pickup of larger debris such as sawdust, rocks, and gravel, over a wide surface area for more efficiency. To use NXT shoes, place the front of one shoe at a 45-degree angle against the floor tool and snap in place. For removing tough debris on rough surfaces like subfloors and textured surfaces, use the NXT hard bristle shoe (SK1501) and for delicately cleaning finished surfaces like tile, wood, and carpets, use the NXT soft bristle shoe (SK1502). For wet messes on flat surfaces, use the NXT wet squeegee shoe (SK1503) that allows you to push or pull water to clean. The RIDGID NXT Max accessories are designed for heavy-duty cleaning and improved productivity with larger debris pickup for construction site cleanups and more. Additional NXT Max accessory tools and shoes are available for other cleanup needs. Max out the cleaning power of your shop vacuum with RIDGID NXT accessories and shoes.

Answer This Question

Can you use this with any 2 1/2 inch vac tubing or must it have the locking mechanism on the end of a rigid tube?

    This this is awesome, it fits my little 4 gallon vacuum and my 16 gallon. I love the interchangeable brushes on the bottom but I feel it should be sold as a kit and not individually. It works great for cleaning up the garage floor and my tiled family room. I'm happy with it

    A good purchase
    It's a very good floor adapter for my vacuum that is not the Ridgid brand. It still fits my hose and is stiff enough that it doesn't feel cheap. I wish I would have paid attention to the measurement as it's not nearly as big as I wanted it to be, but that's my fault of course. Honestly though, I've needed a new vacuum so just because of this, I'm going to go and get a rigid, I've done some research and for the money I think it will be a good vacuum.

    Great New Extension For Our ShopVac
    Nice nifty extension to our older Rigid shop vac. The locking floor tool snaps on much easier than the previous Rigid attachments I’ve used, and it adjusts smoothly to your movements while cleaning. This makes vacuuming large areas or tight spots way more comfortable and efficient. You can add different shoes to this tool depending on the surface, which is a really handy feature. Unfortunately the locking floor tool itself doesn’t come with any shoes, so I have no idea how good they are yet. Even without them, the tool works great on its own and has noticeably improved how well my shop vac performs.

    Great idea to combine one floor attachment for several different hoses
    This shop vac attachment is great. It fits both of my different ridgid shop vacs. One is the big back with a big hose and the other the 18 volt vac. The attachment fits securely to both of these. This eliminates the need to have two different floor tools. Attachment does need a small redesign to allow it to fit into the attachment compartments as it won't fit either of mine.

    Ridgid 1-7/8” to 2-1/2” wet/dry vacuum attachment
    On 3/25/26, I used the Ridgid 1-7/8 in. to 2-1/2 in. NXT Dual Locking Floor Tool Accessory Attachment. While it is built of durable plastic and fits my non-Ridgid wet/dry vacuum perfectly, I noticed it lacks a bristle brush on the bottom, which would be helpful for cleaning my outdoor carpet. Overall, I am pleased with the quality and expect this attachment to be very durable over time.

    Great attachment
    I have 3 shop vacs. I like this new attachment, especially because the home I purchased a few months ago has a wet basement. I’m using this attachment on my 16 gallon wet/dry vacuum, although it fits all of the ones that I have. I like the fact that it locks in place. I really wish it had a softer base so it doesn’t pull up floor paint while sucking up water. That’s the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars. But, I definitely recommend it.

    A must for remodeling job sites
    I got this Ridgid vac accessory to help with Jobsite cleanups, especially for demolition work. This specific attachment with the wide mouth do not come with the vacuum tool only packs so it must be purchased separately. My first impression is that this is well built similar to the other stock attachments that came with my vac. The fit is direct and with a positive seal. With a clean filter and empty vacuum, this attachment works extremely well in picking up dust to medium (1-2") sized particles. The larger mouth speeds up the cleaning process which I am happy about. No complaints and highly recommend for Ridgid vac owners/users.

    Durable build quality inline with Rigid’s reputation.
    This floor tool is a solid upgrade for anyone using a RIDGID wet/dry vac, especially if you’re looking for better stability and consistent suction during cleanup. The locking mechanism is the standout feature—it securely attaches to the hose or wand, so there’s no frustrating slipping or disconnects while working. The 2-1/2 in. width allows for strong airflow, making it very effective at picking up heavier debris like sawdust, small chunks, and even damp material. It glides smoothly across concrete, garage floors, and basement surfaces, covering a wide area quickly without needing multiple passes. Build quality is durable and in line with RIDGID’s reputation. The tool holds up well under frequent use and doesn’t feel flimsy like some standard attachments. It’s particularly useful for workshop or renovation cleanup where you need reliability and efficiency. Pros: • Secure locking connection (no accidental detachment) • Strong suction performance with wider diameter • Durable construction • Efficient for large surface cleanup Cons: • Slightly bulkier than standard floor nozzles • Best suited for larger vac setups (may be overkill for smaller units) Overall, a dependable, heavy-duty floor tool that improves both performance and ease of use for serious cleanup tasks.

    Great Ridgid attachment
    This Ridgid 1-7/8 inch to 2-1/2 inch DA1712 NXT Dual Locking Floor Tool attachment is a great addition to your tool chest. Attaches to most size vacuum hoses and is made of high quality materials and is great at picking up debris from the floor. This is a must have attachment for any workshop to quickly pick after any job. I recommend this attachment and am sure it will last a long time

    Better attachment than the standard one.
    This attachment works better than the one that originally came with my shop vac. To me that speaks volumes because the one that came with the vacuum doesn’t even fit as well as this one. I like that it has a lock where it won’t slip off of the hose or the extension. Pretty cool the way it works and very simple. It does the job without the fear of it coming loose.
