Title: Hoover attachment sought.
Post by: VSP Home Care on March 03, 2011, 06:41:46 pm
No I'm not a collector of strange Hoover ends  ;D  But I am looking for something special, I want to know if there is an attachment that has a wide but narrow aperture, the sort of thing you might use on a wet vac i think.

If that makes sense  :)

This is the sort of shape I'm after;

What are those type of heads called?

Cheers.

A wand.
Go to your local council recycling place, there's an abundance of various vacuum cleaners with their attachments.

Now that is a good idea  :)

Can anyone tell me how wide the floor end is, 1/4"? is it a long narrow opening?  Think I might have to pop along to my local cleaning shop to have a look at one.

Cheers
