CRAFTSMAN CMXEVBE17678 1.75 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vac Powerhead for 5-Gallon Buckets

Meet the CRAFTSMAN CMXEVBE17678 Powerhead Wet/Dry Vac, a compact yet capable solution for smaller messes on the jobsite or in the garage. Designed to pair with a standard 5-gallon bucket (bucket sold separately), this powerhead turns a simple pail into a portable cleanup system.

Power on the go

The unit packs a 1.75 Peak HP motor for steady suction that tackles dry debris and damp spills with confidence. Peak horsepower is described as a level at or below the maximum horsepower output measured in a controlled lab test, offering a useful benchmark for performance without overpromising. This model keeps your setup lean and affordable, perfect for quick cleanup tasks between larger jobs.

Compact, portable design

Weighing in as a lightweight, easy-to-handle tool, it travels well around a worksite or garage. A 6 ft power cord extends reach so you can clean without constantly relocating the bucket, and the attachment points keep the tool simple to set up on a job.

Two-in-one versatility

Beyond suction, a blower port adds another dimension to your cleanup. Use it to blow dust from corners, clear debris from driveways, or help dry a damp area with directed air. It’s about versatility in a compact form.
