Good fit, works like the original and includes the often lost nylon retaining nut.Why sears would discontinue this and the matching filter cartridge is beyond me, my God, they made a gazillion if the 4,6,&8 gallon Shopvacs that use this part. Well, now thanks to Amazon you have a replacement choice, buy this with confidence. It works fine

Finally was able to find the correct filter for the Craftsman 16 gallon wet/dry shop vac. Part 17816-9 made by Kopac. The ends are brown rubber that slide over the black tube in the shop vac. Was hard to fine because most searches showed the top and bottom with brown plastic. Would not work. Don’t bother trying to contact Craftsman for help. I sent a question online, via email and snail mail – no response from their customer service. Kopac customer service was wonderful. Besides Amazon, you can also buy on EBay

And here I found it. Works just like original. Just make sure your exact model is shown. I got the the model with the better filtration. You can get one with less filtration. Only negative is the vanes on the filter are quite small which lets them clog more easily. On the flip side it makes it easy to clean…

This filter was an exact replacement to my older wet dry craftsman 6 gallon vac. Hard to find the older style, open on both ends but you can buy them from Kopach. The price was also good.

I was concerned when I saw the questionable reviews regarding replacement craftsman red-line filters. My large Craftsman vacuum uses a 9-17816 filter and I ordered this filter as a replacement. It went on easily and fit snug with no room for air to bypass the filter. I used it when vacuuming drywall dust and it worked great. I definitely recommend this filter as a replacement for Craftsman vacuums.

My Craftsman 113.177961 has worked great for 25 years or more. In all that time, I cleaned and used the original filter over and over again. Recently I realized more and more dust gunk was clinging to the filter. So I decided it was worn out. Then I found that I could not find a replacement that fit. Even the ones that include the 113.177961 in the list of vacuums they fit did not fit. Finally, I found this one. It fits, it works. I hate throwing away a perfectly good piece of equipment just because it needs a part that has become hard to find. So I was ver happy to find this one. It fits, it works. It looks like it will work a long while, but I won’t wait another 25 years to replace it. Support these guys, KoPach. They provide a high quality, hard to find product at a perfectly reasonable price.

Fit like the original and was very easy to install. Would buy again.

If you have an older Craftsman and have tried the red stripe filters with the one end closed and the round plastic nut, and found that the filter is just barely too small to fit on the vacuum, this is probably the filter you are looking for. I’ve fought for years with the “one end closed, red stripe” type for years after forgetting what the original filter looked like. This filter was it. It is open on both ends and you have to use the plastic disc that originally came your vacuum, along with the wing nut to close off the bottom end and secure the filter to the vacuum. This one fit like a glove.

My Sears shop vacuum is over 30 years old and I couldn’t find a filter to fit. This filter was what I needed. I order a backup too. Make my old vac run like new. I was so glad to find it.

Finally, I found the correct filter replacement for my 20-year old Craftsmen 12 gallon wet/dry vac ( Model #113.177825) : it is the Kopach replacement Part #9-17816. Yay.
Ray Barker –
This filter is a perfect fit. I just wish the cap and screw came with the filter and didn’t have to be purchased seperate.

These filters are fabulous. They seem to have as good or better filtration than Ridgid OEM filters and are much easier to clean. Note that you may need to buy the “KoPach Filter Replacement Filter Cap for Craftsman and Ridgid Vacuums” if you use this on a Ridgid vacuum; the filter is slightly shorter (by about 3/4″) than the stock filter, and the Ridgid filter cover plate will not work with this filter.
