Cleaning out blind holes can be tricky and hazardous to your operators due to flying debris. There’s no better solution for cleaning blind holes than EXAIR’s Deep Hole Vac-U-Gun. The Deep Hole Vac-U-Gun allows you to remove the debris simply and easily, while keeping it contained in the included filter bag.
In the video below, I’ve simulated a blind hole using some 5/8″ tubing. As you can see, the debris is quickly blown up and out of the hole while captured into the filter bag without any mess or hassle.
The Deep Hole Vac-U-Gun is in stock and backed by EXAIR’s Unconditional 30 Day Guarantee. If you’d like to discuss getting one in for your facility give us a call. We can have one shipped out same day with a PO received by 2:00 ET for delivery anywhere in the US.

Manufacturing product can be a very dirty process that can generate large amounts of biproduct, trash, and loose material that is lying around or has been spilled. Especially when it comes to spilled material you might not want get rid of the material because it is still good. Well, EXAIR has the solution for you! Introducing the Vac-U-Gun systems! The Vac-U-Gun system is just as it sounds; a hand-held vacuum cleaner that can be turned on and off by simply pulling back the trigger. This system can allow one to easily clean up messes such as metal chips, plastic pellets, nuts, bolts, paper scraps, and much more. Altogether this gives you and easy way to keep your work space clean. Best of all the Vac-U-Gun isn’t just a vacuum system it can also work as a blower to blow air or transfer material.
EXAIR’s Vac-U-Gun System
The Vac-U-Gun system works off of the same principle of Entrainment as EXAIR’s Air Amplifiers and Line Vacs which can produce a strong suction for moving material. The removable generator located in the back of the Vac-U-Gun can be easily taken out and reoriented in order to create a strong blowing force that can be used for either blowing surfaces off or transferring material.
Vac-U-Gun Kits
The Vac-U-Gun can be purchased in three different kits to help get you started:
If you have a blind hole that you just can’t seem to be able to clean out, then look no farther than the Deep Hole Vac-U-Gun. The Deep Hole Vac-U-Gun has all the same features as the Vac-U-Gun but adds a quick blast of air to dislodge anything in the holes so it can be vacuumed up.

Baseball season was supposed to be underway, and with all the excitement that comes from being a lifelong fan, this is one of my favorite times of the year. As a kid, I idolized the Big Red Machine – the starting lineup of my hometown Cincinnati Reds in the mid-1970’s – and none of them more than Pete Rose…unless it was Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, Joe Morgan, Dave Concepcion, Ken Griffey, Cesar Geronimo, or George Foster.
But Pete, man…they called him Charlie Hustle, and he earned the nickname every time he took the field. He RAN to first base when he got WALKED. And Pete was the consummate utility player too. He won Golden Glove awards, and set records for career fielding percentages in both right & left field, was Rookie of the Year (1963) second baseman, spent the Big Red Machine years at third base, and still managed to play most of his career games at first base. Oh, and he held his own in the batter’s box too.
Now, many EXAIR Intelligent Compressed Air Products have a variety of uses, but the Vac-u-Gun is the one that we can call a true utility player:
Looking for a handy, ergonomic, portable vacuum? Model 6192 Vac-u-Gun Collection System comes with a reusable bag with a shoulder strap, extension wands & tools to make for quick, on the spot cleanup anywhere in your shop.
Already have a receptacle to put what you’re vacuuming up into? Model 6292 Vac-u-Gun Transfer System has a 10ft hose instead of the bag that you can run to your receptacle. The hose, in fact, can be fitted to either end of the Vac-u-Gun, which works in both directions (more on that in a minute.)
Have a need for both? No problem – the Model 6392 Vac-u-Gun All Purpose System comes with both the bag and the hose.
Need a blow gun too? Just reverse the direction of the Vac-u-Gun’s Generator. The 1-1/4″ diameter of the Vac-u-Gun means you’ll cover more space, more quickly, than ordinary air guns.
Want to quickly remove chips and contaminants from grooves, containers, or blind holes? The Deep Hole Vac-u-Gun is fitted with a suction tube and small blow tube that directs a tight blast of air into the void, dislodging debris, so the Vac-u-Gun can suction it away.
What about transferring bulk materials? With the 10ft hose that comes with the Transfer & All Purpose Systems, you can move material either way (remember the reversible Generator?) to or from any location the hose will reach to.
Regardless of your portable vacuum needs, EXAIR has a Vac-u-Gun System for you.
I was recently contacted by an automotive parts manufacturer that was looking for a solution for cleaning out blind holes in a variety of machined parts. After discussing the application, we settled on a 1697SS-6-CS VariBlast Compact Safety Air Gun with Pico Nozzle, 6” Extension, and a Chip Shield. The small M5 nozzle at the tip of the gun allowed them to insert it inside of the hole and dislodge the hard-to-reach chips inside of the holes.

This worked very well for removing the chips, but they were encountering an unexpected issue as these chips were now getting lodged in other areas of the part as they were ejected. They then had to visually inspect the entire part after each blowoff to ensure that everything was completely removed.
What they thought to be an ideal solution, ended up not being the best fit. They gave us a call back to inquire about an alternative solution. We offer another product, the Deep-Hole Vac-U-Gun, that is capable of both removing chips and debris from blind holes and also vacuuming it away simultaneously.
This addresses the problem of dislodged chips being caught elsewhere on the parts. Fortunately, EXAIR offers an unconditional 30-day guarantee for all stock products. They were able to return the previously purchased gun and apply the credit towards the purchase of the Deep Hole Vac-u-Gun system.
The Deep Hole Vac-u-Gun is a low-cost solution to quickly remove chips and contaminants from grooves, containers, and drilled holes. In applications where simply blowing the debris out of the hole isn’t suitable, simply position the Deep Hole Vac-u-Gun over the hole and press the trigger. A small blow tube (3) dislodges and lifts the chips while the large suction tube (5) vacuums them away. The operator is then protected from flying debris since the contaminants are then contained within the suction tube and directed into a filter bag or other container with the included vacuum hose.
Sometimes we don’t always get it right on the first try. But, with the ability to take advantage of the 30-day guarantee we’ll make sure to get the best product to you for your application. With same day shipments with orders received by 3:00 ET for stock products, EXAIR can get a solution out to you quickly!
