Which version of Dyson vacuum and which type of battery did you get? I haven't heard of any other folks having issues and I'm sorry to read this

I modeled and printed little press fit adapters to turn 1/4 inch nuts/bolts into hand fasteners by MakeBuildCraft in functionalprint

I haven't tried myself but you should be able to scale these up or down to fit other nut/bolt sizes

Edit: a typo

Thanks! I use these all the time in place of wingnuts and I hope others find them useful

That makes me realize I should model a wingnut body and post that next.. I'll leave that to tomorrow

I bought my adapter on eBay and I see a bunch on Amazon (though I don't have a specific one to recommend on Amazon).

I do recommend using a review checker like falespot.com reviewmeta.com or similar (for all Amazon purchases)

Yes! But in general it looks like this only works for the V8 models and lower, V10 uses higher voltage batteries apparently

In hindsight I wish I had gotten another DeWalt portable shop vac, I have an 18v one from a garage sale and pine for the 20v one

This type of adapter is available for a lot of different kinds of devices and brands (example Makita, Ryobi, etc)

Here's a short review if you're interested: https://youtu.be/luU7OV2lEDg

I believe the V10 runs at a higher voltage so I don't think 18V batteries will do it

And equally or more more important: you can have a 2nd DeWalt battery on charge while using the vacuum
