I have to say I love my Vac Master Beast! I like the 2.5" opening, making it a lot easier to clean than a regular machine. I deal with it harshly and am exhausted of the splitting tool that comes with the kit. Because of my attacks. I ordered a replacement crevice tool from Vac Master which said it was 9 inches. But that's not the case. He's small and stupid. I want a longer one, similar to the one that originally came with him. I wish I was the same size! If anyone can give a replacement tip, I'd appreciate it!
