I almost died putting the damn rollers into place , my hands need 50 months to heal now

[@Iscaper]

Sorry to hear that 🙁

[@England_Chris]

Glad I am not the only one having hell with the wheels. First instructional video that doesn’t go 20 minutes!! Thank you!!!

[@Iscaper]

Thanks Chris for watching.

April 2024 & I Thank you sooo very much! I, 57 yr old female, purchased my Rigid Vac, saw the extra parts and came straight to KZbin and just like I knew it, YT NEVER disappoints! I definitely appreciate you for helping me to assemble my vac! Thank Goodness for YT & Thank you Sir for thanking your precious time to enlighten us!❤❤

[@Iscaper]

Thanks for watching!

[@cablebill8892]

Very well done video!! Just bought my first home and my first shop vac. Never been so excited to vacuum something in my life!

[@Iscaper]

Thanks, my Rigid shop vac is awesome.

[@rnsone8827]

It was a real pain in the a$$ to get rollers into caster feet.

[@Iscaper]

Sorry to hear that 🙁

[@rnsone8827]

@@Iscaper thank you! I eventually got it, thanks to your video! Great video nonetheless and it really, really helped me! 👍‼️

[@taranhagen9381]

Dude these rollers will not snap into place on mine!!! Grabbing the lube

[@rnsone8827]

@@taranhagen9381 good luck, keep at it, it will go in.

[@ThePositron2]

Same problem here. I stoop and jumped on the casters and all my weight still won't make them snap in.

[@lisagarner8261]

I can’t get the casters to snap in either

[@Iscaper]

Push hard and twist as you push.

[@Allaboutactioncc]

@@Iscaper great advice thanks 🙏🏽

[@hw14]

Can give a tap with a hammer or rubber mallet

[@jeffmack4561]

stump on it with your foot

[@GK-ee7mw]

I got stuck here too. Eventually just pushing super hard for a while finally got them in

[@gratefulliving5283]

I agree with others; very helpful, very well produced, very easy. Good on ya!

[@Iscaper]

Much appreciated!

[@hulabird11]

Thank you!! Because of your video I got my shop vac assembled all by myself!!

[@Iscaper]

Great, thanks for watching!

[@scorpmoto]

Thank you. You made assembly easier than reading instructions 👍🏾💯

[@Iscaper]

You're welcome!

[@brittaniabrixx]

Thank you so much I just put mine together

[@Iscaper]

Great, thanks for watching.

[@GK-ee7mw]

What do you do if the casters won’t pop into place? Pushing really hard and they won’t pop in and just fall out

[@tomsawyer4901]

Push until they pop in, a really tight fit for sure

[@paulgingo7163]

Thanks for the video. It saved me some time instead of looking at the owners manual to 😢 it together. The only problem was you put the handles on the shop vac backwards without a doubt.

[@XwolfbaneXx]

Are you talking about the storage latches? That is how the manual illustrates the install.

[@southerngal8034]

This saved my life I never put anything together without breaking it lol thank you

[@Iscaper]

You're welcome!!

[@larissas03]

This might sounds dumb but how do you close the whole in the back so the air don’t keep coming out?

[@kimkowalewski1786]

Same question!!!!

[@ajkash3867]

I googled it and this came up! But right there with you both I didn’t know either lol The hole in the front of your Shop-Vac is used to vacuum up debris and water. The hole in the back allows you to connect the hose to it and use it as a blower.

[@saldistadio4761]

Great video the wheel are little hard to snap in need a lot of force

[@Iscaper]

Yes they are.

[@hulabird11]

Yep, that took me the longest! But I am not very strong, I guess I shouldn’t have stopped lifting weights! 😂

[@saldistadio4761]

@@Iscaper great 👍

[@mattcavalli705]

Did you ever put a muffler diffuser on it or is it ok not shooting a bunch of junk out the back?

[@jeffthewhiff]

I am a big fan of Ridgid tools as well, Cary, and the vac I bought is a bit smaller capacity than yours, but it works great! Haha, I also noticed that you wear Merrell shoes like me and that's pretty cool!

[@Iscaper]

Looks like great minds think alike! I love Merrell shoes and have been wearing them for years.

[@hildacruz9116]

Thank you Sir very helpful!!

[@Iscaper]

Thanks!

[@JesseP]

Great tutorial, only thing that was wayyy more of a process for me was installing the casters, it’s 20 degrees while I’m doing this so go figure

[@Iscaper]

Thanks for watching!

[@ajkash3867]

Omg thank you so much for this. Bought one at Home Depot recently they are on sale for $60! Same with a microwave they are selling rn lol. Anyway. Thank you!!

[@Iscaper]

You're welcome!

[@AutoHeadz]

I didn’t get any screws with mine! Wtf?!?

[@Iscaper]

I would return it.

[@john678ification]

Use a hammer for the wheels! They are tough! No complaints overall! Maybe clips instead of the push-in buttons to take off the lid but even then it seems fine!

[@Iscaper]

Rubber mallet 👍

[@christinaangelslife9314]

Thank you!

[@Iscaper]

You're welcome!

[@cseveer]

[@Iscaper]

[@marcospineda2989]

Use a hammer to put rollers worked for me

[@Iscaper]

Hopefully it was a rubber hammer 👍
