Choosing the Right Claw for your Application

Choosing the right vacuum claw nozzle involves matching the nozzle diameter to your vacuum hose, selecting durable plastic or specialized bristle materials for delicate surfaces. Measure your vacuum hose or extension wand. 1-1/2" is a common standard, but many shop vacs use 1-7/8" or 2-1/2" fittings. Next, consider the surfaces the claw will be used on. Use standard plastic claw tools for automotive mats, floorboards, or workshop debris. Or, opt for claw nozzles with nylon bristle brushes to agitate and remove embedded dirt from car seats or furniture without scratching. These standard claws are designed to scrape common messes like mud, sand, and pet hair. The heavy-duty, rigid plastic construction is preferred for longevity. 

Maintenance and Care Tips for Vacuum Claw Nozzles

Vacuum claw nozzles require regular inspection for wear and damage. They can be cleaned with non-abrasive tools to remove debris. Ensure secure, leak-free, and properly aligned connections to your vac units. You may soak the nozzle in warm, soapy water to remove clogged dirt which may reduce suction or cause motor strain. Regularly check for damaged, bent, or broken "teeth" on the claw nozzle. Inspect for debris buildup at the connection points and within the nozzle itself. Ensure the nozzle is properly connected to the hose or swivel coupling to avoid air leaks, which can severely reduce suction power. Do not use sharp instruments, such as picks or probes, to clean the nozzle, as this can nick the orifice and ruin performance.
