Yes it will. For a few minutes!

Best to look at a good industrial vacuum!

Risteard · Mar 27, 2015

I have a Hilti hoover. It can cope with dust but a cheap domestic hoover most certainly could not!

i=p/u · Mar 27, 2015

I've about 20-30m of chasing todo

i=p/u · Mar 27, 2015

Would a Henry cope with few hours chasing

Lucien Nunes · Mar 27, 2015

Most bagless cleaners have soppy little filter that will fill with plaster dust in 2 minutes, you would spend all your time cleaning it. Henry will be fine, just a lot of emptying compared to a full size canister machine.

amlu · Mar 27, 2015

i`m using a henry in bagless mode. there is a good filter, needs cleaning every couple of chases but otherwise it works well.
used for a lot of chasing and site cleaning, is still going well (except for on-off switch, killed by dust. i bypassed it and machine still works

)

20 - 30 miles of chasing? i wouldn't chase a woman that far.

Industrial Vacuum Cleaner

You can get an industrial vacuum for £25 for the day out of balloo hire.

RyanCheetham · Mar 27, 2015

I use a Stihl hoover. The use a bag but they also have a replaceable filter for when you use them without. Works very well

£25/day? don't tell the missus, she'll want a pay rise.

yep. 10 miles is about my limit. but the woman needs to want to be caught.

telectrix · Mar 27, 2015

and as for vacuums, for a group of electricians that are supposedly hot on correct terminology. a henry/hilti/nilfisk vacuum is not a bloody hoover. a hoover says hoover on it. same as a fluke is not a megger.

Knobhead · Mar 27, 2015

NilFisk, now you’re talking.

In that case you better stop using the words aspirin, cellophane, cat's eye, escalator, lino, sellotape, thermos, jet ski, bubble wrap, jacuzzi, breathalyser, chapstick, bikini, heroin and trampoline unless you are referring to specific products that hold the trademark name.

PEG · Mar 27, 2015

On the generic "hoover" front...the Henry range are good yokes,for the money. Nilfisk,Stihl,Hilti,and a few others are excellent machines,but it is as well to remember that the machine with the best filtration,will catch the most dust,and block quicker.

If you have a model that can be used "bagless",the main filter will bare the brunt of it,and on the premier machines,these are not cheap,or easily cleaned.

A tip for extending the life of these,is to cut the top off the new bag,you would have used anyway,and wrap it round the main filter.

As an aside,i have several of the better models,but the Steyr i purchased twenty years ago,refuses to die,and is in frequent use,including ingesting the internal detritus contained in my folks multi-fuel boiler stove,which has been the death of many a vacuum...

A Henry will do the job, but I found the bags would clog up too quickly. I use a Nilfisk multi 20, a great machine. The wall chaser plugs into the Nilfisk, when you turn on the wall chaser the nilfisk multi 20 automatically turns itself on. Also the bags last for ages before they need changing. A cracking piece of kit.

Interestingly before I purchased the nilfisk, I bought a dusk extractor from screwfix (see link below) and when I read the instructions it said 'not to be used for dust'. Work that one out- needless to say it got returned.

What a waste of time and im sure there is some trade descriptions act in there somewhere

I've got a nilfisk with the auto switch on but I'm not sure which model it is now. It's a great bit of kit.

Can't open that link on the phone but it will be a chip collector for attaching to a big bench planer or spindle moulder they are no good for fine dust which is probably what it means

I've got one of these too, nilfisk alto aero, just use a decent bag and change fairly regularly, doesn't cost much.

pennychew · Mar 28, 2015

That name rings a bell, think thats what mine is

robd · Mar 28, 2015

Got mine on recommendation off someone on here so thanks whoever it was! Use it with an erbauer chasing machine which does me for about once monthly use quite nicely.

I did this for over 30 years.

The bag's now long gone (divorced in 2005) but I still have the Henry.

Andrewr3 · Mar 28, 2015

Cheap and vacuums is maybe possible. But I would say cheap and dust extraction (to HSE standards) do not go together. see:-

http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/cis36.pdf

If you don't do this kind of thing often and don't have the right dust extrator then I would suggest using hire tools and price the job accordingly.

My dust extractor was not cheap.

As for Screwfix and their "flexible fit-for-purpose" policy...a mate bought some diamond hole drills,and on testing them,they were found to be chips of nougat,held in place with gingerbread...right turn,Clyde...:conehead:

what make/model do you have? As you don't mention it.

i=p/u · Feb 26, 2016

Probably Bosch Hoover about 300 plus chaser??

billy10 · Feb 27, 2016

I've tried 2 Henry hovers for chasing, both didn't last long. Got a nilfisk and it's 1000 times better

londonfire · Feb 27, 2016

If using it with a chaser I wouldn't use anything less than an m class dust extractor. I have a Bosch gas35 M class. Wouldn't be without it!

Swcfisher · Feb 28, 2016

My chaser packed up and as we have a few rewires on rushed out and bought a makita chaser and extractor last week on recommendation from the local tool shop(it was in stock) it's goin back tommorow the extractor is utter sh!te and one of the lads reported a near miss as the on/off switch on the chaser is diffulct to turn off. I tried the chaser on Friday apart from the on/off switch not being great it was fine when connected to the festool extractor but awfully messy when connected to the makita it was bought with

londonfire · Feb 29, 2016

I ruined an L class metabo in a day chasing. The m class ones are a lot of money but they will handle the dust much better. I have just got some dust bags with a zip at the bottom too so really easy to empty and reuse.
