GB_Amateur Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Nice video! Could you give a little more detail on the "Milwaukee Vacuum"? What's the model number? Have you done any modifications? Any tricks/tips on using it in these conditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepplewhite Explorations Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Hey! Its the entry level model from Home Depot VACUUM Was around $150, but I already had the batteries etc. It works well, we modified the tip to be a bit smaller so that it doesn't suck up larger rocks, we are going to make a custom tip for it with a screen to classify down a little smaller once again. We also shortened the hose so that we increased suction a little bit. It MURDERS batteries, that is the down side. 4 batteries might last 45mins? But if you find some good cracks / crevices its great. We found it alot faster than "sweeping" and "scraping" up the gravels. We loosen them up with a prybar a nd then just vacuum away! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
