Ridgid 62703 NXT 12-Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum – 5.0 Peak HP
Professional Power. NXT Generation Suction. The Industry Standard for Jobsite Cleanup.
The Ridgid 62703 (NXT 12-Gallon) is the workhorse of the modern jobsite. Part of the redesigned NXT line, this vacuum features enhanced motor technology that delivers a massive 5.0 Peak HP, providing the raw suction power required to lift everything from heavy sludge and water to fine drywall dust and metal shavings.
Designed for durability and ease of use, the 12-gallon drum offers the perfect "middle-ground" capacity—large enough for major spills but compact enough to maneuver through doorways and fit into a standard service van. For the professional at The Fastener Group, the 62703 isn't just a shop vac; it’s a productivity tool that ensures your workspace is safe, clean, and ready for the next trade.
Key Features & Professional Benefits:
- NXT Series Upgrades: Featuring a modernized power head with a larger, gloved-friendly power switch and improved drum latches that create a tighter seal for maximum air pressure.
- 5.0 Peak HP Performance: High-output motor provides industrial-grade suction for high-volume liquid extraction and heavy debris pickup.
- Tug-A-Long® Locking Hose: The included 1-7/8" professional hose locks into the vacuum intake, preventing the common frustration of the hose pulling loose while you work.
- 360-Degree Swivel Casters: Heavy-duty wheels provide total mobility over uneven jobsite floors, with built-in accessory storage to keep your nozzles within reach.
- Dual-Flex® Technology: The hose features high-end flexibility at both ends to prevent kinking and crushing, ensuring consistent airflow in tight spaces.
- Large Drain Port: Positioned at the lowest point of the drum, the oversized drain allows for rapid, gravity-fed emptying of liquids without the need for heavy lifting.
- Integrated Blower Port: Simply move the hose to the exhaust port to transform your vacuum into a powerful blower for clearing sawdust, leaves, or debris from porches and walkways.
