This pack is ideal for households and job sites that demand versatility and simple maintenance.

Compatibility and versatility

These filters are compatible with a wide range of Craftsman vacuums, including current models and older configurations. If your unit is a 5 gallon or larger capacity, there’s a good chance this cartridge filter will fit, making it a practical choice for many setups. The ability to work with multiple model lines means you can stock up once and reuse across several machines as your projects evolve.

Specific compatibility highlights include models in the 9‑17784, 9‑17761, 9‑17066, 9‑17741, 9‑17742, 9‑17765, and 9‑17762 families, plus older 6‑, 8‑, 12‑, 16‑, and 32‑gallon units manufactured over the years.
