Milwaukee Tool AIR-Tip End of the Hose solutions
Milwaukee just released 19 innovative AIR-TIP vacuum accessories that are fully compatible with other wet/dry vacuum brands.
They looked at some dated accessory designs, looked at end-user field modifications and came up with 19 innovative, problem solving - end of the hose solutions. All the Air-Tip vacuum accessories have a nozzle that is compatible with other wet/dry vacuum brands with 1-1/4", 1-7/8", 2-1/2" diameters.
Let’s look at the more notable ones.
M12 AIR-TIP Utility Nozzle $79.99
Powered by an M12 battery, the power brush roll agitates debris for carpet cleaning applications. An LED light for increased visibility while cleaning, and the brush roller easily removes tool-free for cleaning
AIR-TIP Dust Collector $49.99
The dust collector has a rubber seal and uses the suction of the vacuums to attach to a wall, ceiling, or other substrate for collecting falling dust. I can see myself using this one, as it frees up your other hand. In the past I’ve done everything from using a box, taping folded paper, or holding a vac nozzle under a cutting tool.
The tool has a funnel design, and the vacuum suction draws it in, this accessory will make your clean up easier.
AIR-Tip Magnetic Utility Nozzle $29.99
This nozzle is one of those, why didn’t I think of that…. Or maybe I did!
It features a magnetic strip above the nozzle to pick up metal debris, that often does not get picked up by vacuums, and when it does it can sometimes damage the bags and filters.
AIR-TIP Long Reach Flexible Micro Hose Set $39.99
Now this set is cool, it has five interchangeable hose lengths and diameters for greater access in the hard-to-reach spaces, areas too deep to reach, or too deep for the vac suction to work.
AIR-TIP Cross Brush Tool $ 17.99
This crush tool has a crisscross bristle design with more open space for suction. It was designed with cross brush bristles to prevent clogging and provide easier clean-up compared to the traditional round dust brush.
While this brush absolutely works better than the traditional brush, I just don’t see myself using my brush nozzle on heavy debris. I only take out my brush nozzle on punch list clean up when I’m cleaning fine dust of cabinets, window mullions, HVAC grills or base moldings. Maybe you disagree- we all clean differently.
AIR-TIP Low-Profile Pivoting Brush $29.99
The pivoting design and low-profile head is easily adjusted into position and allows multiple orientations of cleaning overhead, waist-level, or down low and under things. After using this tool, I think Milwaukee should have made it longer for reaching under appliances and fully reaching the backs of wall cabinets.
AIR-TIP Rotating Corner Brush Tool - $19.99
I liked this one and can see using it when finishing a kitchen cabinet install vacuuming the cabinets. The rotating brush easily goes into corners with its spade- shaped tip and its agitating brushes allow you to easily remove debris in stubborn corners. The head rotates 360-degree when pushing or pulling.
AIR-TIP 3-in-1 Crevice and Brush Tool - $17.99
I like multiple use tools, and this 3-in-1 crevice and brush tool fits that bill. Its reversible brush head and overall tool length gives you lots of deep reach options.
The reversible brush head has two sides, a long/soft bristle side for delicate cleaning and a short/stiff bristle side for more agitation. You can easily slide it to the tip of the tool for quick use. You can also remove the brush head to reach tighter areas with its long crevice tool design.
AIR-TIP Conduit Line Puller Kit - $79.00
Ok all jokes aside, I like this!
Designed for electricians to seal multiple conduit sizes for strong line-pulling suction. This conduit pull line kit includes three different tool heads:
• Flexible design tip on 1/2" - 1" conduit
• Flexible design tip for use on 1-1/4" - 1-1/2" conduit
• 2" - 4" rigid conduit tip.
The rubber cone seal ensures strong fitment to pipes. The flexible design on the smaller conduit tips allows for tight area fitment inside boxes or panels.
AIR-TIP 4-in-1 Right Angle Cleaning Tool - $24.99
This 4-in-1 accessory has four different interchangeable tips for more cleaning versatility, including:
• Short Crevice
• Bottom-Opening, Brushed,
• Long Crevice tips.
I wasn’t overly impressed with this accessory as I felt many of the other crevice tools could accomplish this tools task, and I see myself losing the small tips.
AIR-TIP Flexible Long Reach Crevice Tool 30 - $19.99
Here’s another I wish I thought of tools. The flexible long reach crevice tool is a winner.
It features a flexible rubber shaft design that can bend along the crevice tool to reach into difficult, awkward cleaning situations. The long crevice tool has a flexible shaft over 16 inches in length. This tool will find its way into my vacuum box.
