I need to clean outnest of twigs, wood, leaves etc. with restricted access between boulders. Can this ShopVac suction out the nest?

Highly, To be honest with you, it is hard to say since I can not see the nest or where it is at. I can tell you this, I have used the 6.5 HP shop vac to clean outside my basement windows (twigs, spider webs, leaves) as well as to clean my wood burning pellet stove (very fine wood ash) and it has done a wonderful job. It comes with plenty of attachments and a very large diameter hose that can easily handle most normal leaves. The suction power is also very good. I can't say that it will handle what you want it to, but I think that if you have at least 2 1/2 to 3 inches of access between the boulders that with the hose and attachments it should be able to get the job done. The vac also comes with a curved attachment so you may be able to gain access from above using that. My only concern would be what kind of nest and how big the "twigs" and "wood" are. A normal birds nest should not be an issue, even if you have to break it up a little with the attachments or a stick before using the vac. I hope this helps.

A shop vac nozzle is possibly too large, and there might be too strong of a suction for it to be effective. I can't say for sure, as I only use my regular vacuum on mine.

I bought this originally to sweep up sawdust in my woodshop. I have used this to sweep the pavers in my backyard and it works great. It has a lot of suction power.

Great question. I haven't tried it. I don't think it is strong enough for an entire house but could work for smaller stations around a work shop. Just my guess and not based on any data. Just like a central system, you would need to keep the other suction points closed when not in use in order to draw full suction on the opening in use. I may try it now that you've brought up the question.

I think so. Isn't a shop vac more powerful than a regular house vacuum cleaner? I just use my house vacuum.

I'm sure it wouldn't hurt, but as far as I can tell once the dust enters the bucket it doesn't find its way out. The suction is in the cyclone. Well worth the money and we use it for sanding floors so it captures very vine dust.

No, it doesn't. I would recommend this vacuum for cleaning chop saws and table saws plus the surround work area at the end of the day. It has just enough power to suck up and or blow out saw dust and other small debris at a very close range. Will not work well at clearing a deck of pine needles research other dewalt vacuum with more oomph

The instructions say to not open up fan but to vacuum with attachment and it will suck out the dust. This has not worked for me. There is dust inside beyond the slats and my vacuum is not strong enough to such it all out. Considering what to do about this now. Update: I have an electric leaf blower(7amp 160mph) for my patio so I tried using that to blow the dust out and it worked really well. I used a tiny bottle brush that I have that fit in between the slats to loosen any not blown out, then blew again. Worked really well! Now I will blow it out every month or so to avoid the buildup. Problem solved.

I would think it would work to remove leaves & pine needles, providing there's a thick enough layer built up so as to be caught by the rake ... The blade does not down directly on the roof because of the little wheels that are on the blade.

Yes, absolutely, the Work WG508, will effectively vacuum those small leaves for you, it even vacuums the leaves from the sand, leaving the sand behind. I love using the work, its amazing.

Not sure if it would have enough suction to work well. I use mine with a track saw and a random orbital sander and it works great but the cabinet saw has such a large area to pull from I would be a little concerned if it would work.

HI Judy, it does a fair job on small particles like needles and tiny branches, but kinda pushes the dust and dirt into a pile. I end up getting the broom and dust pan to sweep up the remnants that the spin sweep leaves behind. I use mine for the driveway and sidewalk close to a pine tree. I rate this item as a three, because it is a whole lot faster than sweeping the entire space with a push broom.

No, Timm you cannot. Everything passes through the blades. With some custom modifications, perhaps you could isolate the incoming vacuumed debris from passing through the impeller.If this is your goal, why not buy a shop-vac that has a blower function, instead?

I have read that some folks have found extension tubes that can make the reach longer, but nothing's available through Black & Decker directly. The attachments that come with it have little notches that lock in with a clip when they're on, but if you get something that will be a tight friction-fit I would imagine it would work. On another note, although the suction is great for a little hand vacuum, it's not comparable to my upright stick vacuum or canister vac. It would still be fine for little jobs though.

No because of the tool's extremely low clearance from the floor. This tool is specifically designed to remove dust from underneath hard to move furniture and appliances.

If you're just running a shop vac, I wouldn't recommend this. It won't pull enough air to make a difference, especially if you're splitting the suction between the Incra fence and the Cleansweep enclosure. The gate on the Cleansweep is 4 inches in diameter and I would recommend that you run at least a 1.5 hp impeller style dust collection system to gain benefit from this accessory.

It's not a vaccum, it's more like a mechanized mop, so it will just push the sand around. If you use a roomba for the sand first, the braava can then swipe the floors for light stains and fine dust which you can later wash off from the cleaning cloth. As for apt size, I think it'll be ok, however I've observed that sometimes if the room has a more complicated shape it won't go into certain areas so you have to move the beacon and try again.
