Guardair metal pick up tools are designed to broaden the capacities of a vacuum device while picking up sand and other dry materials, in bulk, that are heavier than dust. These tools feature a secondary draft tube for a continuous vacuum flow, even when the tool is under a dead-end condition. They quickly and efficiently extract large volumes of sand or plastic pellets without clogging or losing the suction force. All the units come in a durable nickel chrome finish that resists rust and abrasion.
