About Nozzles

Vacuum cleaner and extractor nozzles are essential accessories that dramatically improve the efficiency and versatility of dust extraction systems used across professional trades and domestic cleaning tasks. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks a comprehensive range of specialist nozzles from leading brands including Bosch Professional, Karcher Pro, Draper, Festool and DeWalt, designed to tackle everything from fine dust extraction on construction sites to detailed car valeting and workshop cleaning.

Available in various diameters to suit 35mm hoses and other standard fitting sizes, these nozzles include crevice tools for tight spaces, floor nozzles for large surface areas, coarse dirt nozzles for heavy debris, rubber nozzles for delicate surfaces, and specialist attachments such as inflation nozzles and brush heads. Whether you're connecting to a 240v wet and dry vacuum or a cordless 18V extractor system, the right nozzle transforms your equipment's capabilities and ensures thorough cleaning results.

Applications

Vacuum nozzles serve tradespeople and industries including:

• Builders and general construction – removing plaster dust, concrete debris and site waste
• Carpenters and joiners – extracting wood shavings, sawdust and fine particles during cutting and sanding
• Electricians and plumbers – cleaning up after cable runs, drilling and pipework installation
• Vehicle valeters and detailers – accessing door jambs, boot spaces and between seats
• Decorators – dust-free preparation work and clean-up after sanding
• Workshop and garage maintenance – general cleaning of benches, machinery and floor areas
• Facilities management – commercial cleaning and maintenance operations
• DIY enthusiasts – home improvement projects and domestic cleaning tasks

Choosing The Right Nozzles

When selecting vacuum nozzles from MyToolShed.co.uk, consider these key factors:

• Hose diameter compatibility – ensure the nozzle fits your extractor's hose size, typically 35mm for professional models or other standard diameters for domestic systems
• Task specificity – crevice nozzles for narrow gaps, floor tools for large surfaces, brush attachments for delicate finishes, and coarse dirt nozzles for heavy debris
• Brand compatibility – whilst many nozzles are universal, some are designed specifically for Bosch, Karcher, Festool or DeWalt extractors for optimal performance
• Material construction – rubber nozzles prevent scratching on sensitive surfaces, whilst rigid plastic tools offer durability for heavy-duty applications
• Multi-purpose kits – consider comprehensive sets that include several nozzle types for maximum versatility across different cleaning scenarios
• Professional versus domestic use – Karcher Pro and Bosch Professional ranges offer enhanced durability for daily trade use compared to home and garden variants

Frequently Asked Questions

Are vacuum nozzles interchangeable between different brands?

Many nozzles with standard diameter fittings (such as 35mm) will fit various brands of extractors, but some manufacturers design proprietary connections for their specific systems. Check the hose diameter and fitting style before purchasing, or opt for brand-matched accessories to guarantee compatibility.

Which nozzle should I use for extracting fine dust from power tools?

For fine dust extraction during sanding or cutting operations, a standard extraction nozzle or small floor nozzle typically works best when connected directly to power tool dust ports. For general clean-up of fine particles, a brush nozzle prevents scratching whilst effectively collecting dust from work surfaces and equipment.

How do I maintain vacuum nozzles for long-term performance?

Regularly remove blockages by checking nozzle openings after use, particularly with crevice tools. Clean bristle attachments periodically to prevent dust build-up, and inspect rubber components for wear or splitting. Store nozzles properly to prevent damage to brush heads and ensure fittings remain secure for your next job.
