Description

The Ascent-552 includes the unit plus a 25′ crush-proof locking hose with a 1-1/2″ inlet. It features 150 CFM & 87″ Lift with an American-made 8-gallon steel tank. It draws 12.5A @ 110V and 6.6A @ 220V. With the Ascent 500 Series, you get all the great features of the Ascent Series in a super-compact package. This unit is in a class of its own, offering the convenience of a bagger usually found only in a larger class vacuum in a compact package. Not much bigger than a standard shop vacuum you’d find at a big box store but with more than 2X the power. Great for smaller hand tools like 4” & 7” Hand Grinders, Hammer Drills and Smaller Saws, this unit packs a punch in a small package.

The Ascent Series bagger features a new version of our Cyclonic Debris Management system. This new version has a tangential inlet with an internal separator baffle that divides the incoming airflow from the filters. These two elements work together to create a significant improvement in performance when collecting lighter materials like talc, sawdust or when sanding and grinding on surfaces that have epoxies, glues, or other coatings. Coatings can liquefy when being removed with a grinder, allowing them to come into the vacuum in a hot, liquid state and that will dry on the filters, restricting the airflow to the motor. This internal baffle prevents this from happening; keeping the filters clear. This feature makes the Ascent an excellent choice for flooring professionals of all types and many other applications.

Our Automatic Tool Start feature will start the vacuum for you when you start your tool. Plug your tool into the Automatic Tool Start and switch the power button to auto. When your tool activates, the vacuum will turn on automatically. When the tool turns off, the vacuum will run for 3 seconds to clear the hose before it shuts off.
