    In this video we are testing out and reviewing the lineup from Filterpal. They make a product that claims to keep you from having to replace your vacuum filters, and I have to say IT WORKS! These things are amazing and they do the job. For so many years I've ruined and purchased new filters, over and over again, and if I had only had these it would've saved so much time and money. Links below to pick up your own, and be sure to check them out on social media as well!! THANK YOU!

    I use "scum socks" or "skimmer socks" for swimming pool filters, which accomplish about the same thing. They are also dirt cheap (20 for roughly $10-$12) and washable, and stretch to easily fit over most filters. By the way, I also use one on my zero-turn lawn mower air filter to keep debris and much of the dust out.

      I use $2.00 fine mesh laundry bags and rubber bands. It’s worked out beautiful to catch all but the finest dusts. They are washable too! I do not work with drywall, so could not say if it would work for that. But even “plus sized nylon stockings” at dollar stores would be an even finer mesh.

    This is a great idea for people who use their vac daily or for work. I use either grade 90 or 100 cheesecloth. Super cheap. Can buy anywhere and it comes in very large pieces and you simply wash and reuse if you want, but cheap enough to throw out (and the natural cotton ones are made 'green' and are biodegradable). But you do have to cut them to size, attach them with rubber bands and such, and replace or wash often. But you can also layer them up for more filtration. It's not as good as a hepa filter, which I would definitely use if I worked with drywall or something. But for cleaning the dog hair out of my car, I like to use something as a prefilter. The texture of the cheesecloth works amazing for capturing animal hair.
    Having to buy special filters for any machine costs more than the machines themselves over time. Afterall, a vacuum or even an air purifier is, simply, a motor that moves air in one direction. Simple. And filters are not rocket science either (unless we're talking about medical grade or industrial/hazardous materials). So I like these hacks. There's more important things to be spending money on than those 'specialized' filters. So thanks for the hack!

    I wrap my filter with paper towels and it’s perfect. Very few particles reach the actual filter. And as dirt cheap ideas go, this one is tough to beat 😅

    • @TheToughGuysTV
      @TheToughGuysTV  Před 2 lety +2

      True, I agree it’s cheap but still having to mess with paper towels vs this, seems like not a bad investment to me for the Filterpal (as a buy it once / for life type of product IMO). Plus this works well with drywall dust, something I’m not sure if paper towels would handle. Thanks for the note!

  • @pjmazar4533
    @pjmazar4533 Před 8 měsíci +2

    I wonder if people understand the purpose of a pleated filter. More surface area to collect more particles. Covering the filter with a "sock" cuts down on the vacuum surface area by roughly 50 times and reduces suction and does so at a faster rate. And who throws away filters? I learned years ago to clean, wash and dry my filters. I have not purchased a new filter in my 20 years of owning a maintenance and remodeling business. But you have to do what you feel most comfortable with.

    @chuckjohnson4048 Před 2 lety

    Not knowing there was more than one size years ago I fit the orange filter on the larger filter, it worked, just tricky to get it on. I recommend using the filter pal, the paper filter and a cyclonic particle separator attached to a dust collector. I have tried the orange Rigid dust separator that fits on a five gallon bucket, total fail. If you try to buy collects that fit between the vac hose and cyclonic separator, good luck. You can heat pvc sections that you can make actually fit using a heat gun and a glass salad dressing bottle to flare the mouth of the pvc piece to ease fitting the hose and cyclonic separator together. I fitted the hose to the coupling separately from cyclone, easier for me. Make some dust!!

    Easy way to clean those bags is to stick the nozzle of a leaf blower into it and turn it on. Blows it clean in seconds. Can also blow dust and debri out of the filter pleats too. Just make sure you do it outside away from open windows. Makes quite a cloud.

      LEAF BLOWER - 1 OF MY TOP 5 MOST IMPORTANT TOOLS TO HAVE AROUND!!!
      - FYI Just thought I'd mention....Since I read how one reader uses a leaf blower to put the end into the dust bag, turn on, and blow the dust off the bag in the proper direction (out). This is just one of about 150 uses I have for a leaf blower!
      - (Before the supply chain dilemma) you could pick up an ELECTRIC MID-RANGE POWERED LEAF BLOWER for about $25 - $45. Not sure now, but my point is that you don't need to spend a whole lot to have this MULTI-PURPOSE TOOL FOR CONVIENIENCE, ASSISTING IN THE LONGEVITY OF OTHER TOOLS (such as the dust bags we're talking about) AND EASE OF MANY, MANY PROJECTS AND MAINTENANCE.
      - FOR EXAMPLE: blow out truck beds, open all the doors on any vehicle and blow the shit out of it (including dog hair, dust, lint, floor mats, dried mud, etc.), drying off water drops on anything you just washed, cleaning out rugs & mats, blow sawdust off a whole layer of firewood, blow a layer of snow off anything, clean out flower/vegetable gardens for the new planting, cobwebs, sidewalks, front stoop, JUST BLOWING OFF ANYTHING RATHER THAN SWEEPING, WASHING, REPLACING, or DRAGGING YOUR MESS INTO / ONTO ANYTHING (including blowing leaves)!
      - I have an electric leaf blower (of different powers) connected to designated electrical cords of different lengths AND PLUGGED IN at: my front door area, my back door / sun porch area, inside attached garage (one side of house area), and the big shop (in the far back yard - on a LONG cord). Cords are casually wound up and hung on one of those cheap ($2) garden hose retainers. When I buy one of these cheaper blowers I also buy the inexpensive Warranty offered by Amazon. (I.E. $4-5 for 3 years, etc.)
      - SO, JUST THOUGHT I'D SHARE. I HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER THINGS TO DO AROUND THE HOME-FRONT AND ANYTHING THE LEAF BLOWERS CAN AID IN IS EFFORT I CAN USE ELSEWHERE. Cheers!!!

    • @ronpost587
      @ronpost587 Před 2 lety

      Hi Tina. Thanks for adding your suggestions for leaf blowers. I also use them to blow the dust off of and out of my table saw, router table, and handheld power tools for woodworking. They also work great for blowing out your garage or shed if you have one with variable speed. I also use them to blow excess water off my vehicle after washing, then follow up with a microfiber towel to finish. I also have an attachment for blowing leaves and debris out of the gutters while standing safely on the ground. These attachments are available for both electric and gas-powered units. There are also videos on CZcams how to construct from PVC pipe.

    Thanks for the video. I was thinking that you might want to invest in another small shop vac to clean the mess made in your larger shop vac. Instead of shaking the filter and the filter pal, this might prevent all the harmful dust flying around when you clean them. Also consider using a shop vac vacuum bag. This also would be a healthier option, as opposed to dumping the dirt in a plastic trash bag. I’m really glad you made this video. It makes me even more aware of the health risks of not being careful of all the dust, and of course keeping my shop vac running longer. Which reminds me of another thing to consider, which is to clean your shop vac and filter more frequently?

    I agree these will extend the life of the filter. However you can see that not only can you get an area that does not seal it of resulting is the filter getting contaminated. While not as cheap IMO a filter bag will be your best bet.
    1 you just throw the entire bag away keeping most of the debris in the bag at the same time protecting the filter more effectively. Also keeps the vac container much cleaner making less work .

    why did he throw that dirty filter away? yikes! He says even if you clean it by brushing, compressed air, etc. “it’ll never be the same as a new fresh one”. Yes, but adding the sock bag creates as much air flow restriction and added pressure on the motor as a slight amount of debris left on a filter that you brush off and blow off with your leaf blower or compressed air. He’s got as much dust he’s generating by hand with the bag (and even washing it) as you would using a whisk broom on the dirty filter and blasting it outside with a leaf blower or compressed air gun.

    You should just throw the whole vacuum away after each use instead of just the filter

      I don’t think any harder than a super clogged filter would. I don’t have any way to test that out of course, but I can say my Ridgid vacs are 6 yrs old and 4 yrs old, both of them still working great.

      I've been using the big Ridgid vac for about 5 years for most things but mainly for vacuum sanding drywall. I made a small cart out of 1" x 1" aluminum to hold the machine and a 5 gallon mud bucket with cyclone. I use a Cleanstream filter and a bag. I tape all the stress points and seams on the bag when it's new with Gorilla Tape. I get about a year out of a bag and I'm still on the first filter. I use this machine for work as a drywall finisher so it gets used almost daily for sanding.

    LEAF BLOWER - 1 OF MY TOP 5 MOST IMPORTANT TOOLS TO HAVE AROUND!!!
    - FYI Just thought I'd mention....Since I read how one reader uses a leaf blower to put the end into the dust bag, turn on, and blow the dust off the bag in the proper direction (out). This is just one of about 150 uses I have for a leaf blower!
    - (Before the supply chain dilemma) you could pick up an ELECTRIC MID-RANGE POWERED LEAF BLOWER for about $25 - $45. Not sure now, but my point is that you don't need to spend a whole lot to have this MULTI-PURPOSE TOOL FOR CONVIENIENCE, ASSISTING IN THE LONGEVITY OF OTHER TOOLS (such as the dust bags we're talking about) AND EASE OF MANY, MANY PROJECTS AND MAINTENANCE.
    - FOR EXAMPLE: blow out truck beds, open all the doors on any vehicle and blow the shit out of it (including dog hair, dust, lint, floor mats, dried mud, etc.), drying off water drops on anything you just washed, cleaning out rugs & mats, blow sawdust off a whole layer of firewood, blow a layer of snow off anything, clean out flower/vegetable gardens for the new planting, cobwebs, sidewalks, front stoop, JUST BLOWING OFF ANYTHING RATHER THAN SWEEPING, WASHING, REPLACING, or DRAGGING YOUR MESS INTO / ONTO ANYTHING (including blowing leaves)!
    - I have an electric leaf blower (of different powers) connected to designated electrical cords of different lengths AND PLUGGED IN at: my front door area, my back door / sun porch area, inside attached garage (one side of house area), and the big shop (in the far back yard - on a LONG cord). Cords are casually wound up and hung on one of those cheap ($2) garden hose retainers. When I buy one of these cheaper blowers I also buy the inexpensive Warranty offered by Amazon. (I.E. $4-5 for 3 years, etc.)
    - SO, JUST THOUGHT I'D SHARE. I HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER THINGS TO DO AROUND THE HOME-FRONT AND ANYTHING THE LEAF BLOWERS CAN AID IN IS EFFORT I CAN USE ELSEWHERE. Cheers!!!

      I agree with Phil, its a piece of polartec fleece with an small elastic strap. you could buy a cheep fleece blanket ($10-$15), cut a few of them up to size and use some elastic cord and ShaZam, you have several pre filters, and they'll last longer then the paper towel trick. At $33 its a lot for something simple thats why he thinks its a ripoff, no offence, its a good idea just too much money for what it is.

    I’ll just stick to my method of tapping out the big stuff then with the same vac with filter removed i just go outside and put the hose on the blow side, put on some glasses. And a breather and blow out a dust cloud out on the yard.. my neighbors are assholes and have done some messed up things to my place so i feel good when it coats their cars in a good layer of dust.. funny to see em pull out afterwards and have to use the windshield wipers to see.. lol.. everytime they leave their dogs business in my yard for the kids to find, i leave my shop dust on their cars.. mmhmm.. justice..

    BETTER OFF JUST USING FILTER BAGS. THERE'S NO WAY ALL THAT JUNK GETTING ON THE FILTER COVER OR JUST THE FILTER ITSELF ISN'T GOING TO QUICKLY CLOG AND SEVERELY REDUCE THE SUCTION. IF YOUR O.K. WITH THAT YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST NEVER CLEAN OR REPLACE YOUR FILTER.

      A lot of assumptions here. I’ve been using these for years, and still with the same vacs. No issue I can see with suction and both vacs still run well. I am also not buying filters. I think it boils down - do whatever you think is best. ✌️

    I use the size 1 and 1/0 Mustad hooks to freeline for snook czcams.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 and they have been fantastic. The points are super sharp, and the hook is small enough to blend with my baitfish, yet large enough to land fish 30" or more. I also use these hooks when I'm pier or surf fishing with my kids. They tend to catch tons of smaller snapper, whiting, and catfish, and we get far fewer gut hooks with these Mustad in-lines, which means more of them survive after release. I was actually using these hooks when I caught my friend too, but I think that had more to do with the bait I was using ;-)
