17 in. Crevice Tool CT176

The 17-inch crevice tool (part# CT176) is a genuine Tacony OEM attachment for the Tornado, CleanMax and Powr-Flite backpack vacuum range. At seventeen inches it is considerably longer than a domestic crevice tool, and that length is the point — it reaches the back of a lift car, the gap behind a radiator or the full depth of a stair nosing without the operator having to kneel. It comes with a plastic ring clip so it can ride on the machine rather than being left behind in the last room.

Compatible Models for the 17-Inch Crevice Tool

This tool is a genuine Tacony OEM component shared across multiple brands and models:

• Tornado: Pac-Vac 6 Aircomfort — Model 93012, Pac-Vac 10 Aircomfort — Model 93014, Pac-Vac 6 Roam Battery Backpack — Model 93016B-1
• CleanMax: CMBP-6.2 backpack vacuum, CMBP-6CL cordless backpack vacuum
• Powr-Flite: the Comfort Pro backpack range — BP6P, BP6S, BP10P and BP10S, plus the Comfort Pro Freedom battery backpacks CPF6P and CPF6P-1C

Does it fit my hose?

All the attachment tools in this range share the same 1-1/2 inch cuff, so any of them fits any of the machines listed above. If you have one of those backpacks, this tool fits it — there is no separate 6-quart and 10-quart version of the attachments.

Why the extra length matters

Commercial cleaning is mostly about edges. The open floor is quick; the time goes on perimeters, corners, stair nosings, under radiators and behind fixed furniture. A short crevice tool forces the operator down onto their knees to reach those places, and on a full shift that is both slow and hard on the body.

Seventeen inches changes the geometry. Most edge work can be done standing, which is faster and considerably less tiring, and awkward gaps that would otherwise need furniture moved become reachable in place.

When to replace it

Replace it when the tip has worn or split, when the cuff no longer grips the hose firmly, or when the tube has cracked anywhere along its length. A split tip scratches skirting boards and hard floors, and a cracked tube leaks air, which quietly costs you suction at the very moment you need it most.

Also replace it if the ring clip has broken. It sounds trivial, but a tool that cannot ride on the machine gets set down and left behind, and the replacement cost of a lost tool is many times the cost of the clip.
